She’s really singing “Nonsense.”
Pop star Sabrina Carpenter was off-key when she bragged to fans at her Big Apple concert about getting Mayor Eric Adams “indicted” – because the scandal involving one of her racy music videos had nothing to do with the historic corruption charges he’s facing.
The 25-year-old joked about her apparent ties to the federal corruption probe engulfing the mayor during her gig at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night, footage on social media shows.
“Damn, what now? Should we talk about how I got the mayor indicted?” Carpenter quipped to her cheering fans as she took a break between songs.
The pint-size performer inserted herself into the controversy just days after Adams pleaded not guilty on Friday to conspiracy, wire fraud and bribery charges in Manhattan federal court.
The case, though, is separate to the one that recently landed Carpenter in the headlines after it emerged that federal investigators were carrying out a probe into one the mayor’s friends — a Brooklyn priest who sparked an unholy uproar after allowing the sultry pop star to film her “Feather” film clip in his church last year.
In that saga, the feds recently issued a subpoena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Williamsburg seeking information about any dealings between one of its lead pastors, Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello, and Hizzoner’s ex-chief of staff, Frank Carone.
Gigantiello ended up being demoted last year after it emerged he’d approved the shoot for Carpenter’s bawdy music clip, which showed her writhing in a little black dress on the altar of the 160-year-old Catholic church next to a coffin emblazoned with “RIP Bitch.”
When asked for a comment about the federal probe at the time, Brooklyn diocese officials responded with a statement linking it to an internal church investigation over Carpenter’s music video.
“It would be inappropriate to comment further on that review, which is still ongoing,” diocese officials said in a statement.
“The Diocese is fully committed to cooperating with law enforcement in all investigations, including conduct at individual parishes or involving any priest.”
