On 5 November 2016, the Empire Herald web site published an article reporting that Hillary Clinton's campaign had paid Jay-Z and Beyonce $62 million to perform a concert in support of her election bid: While Jay-Z and Beyonce (as well as Chance the Rapper and Big Sean) did perform a concert in Cleveland in support of Hillary Clinton's campaign, the rumor that they were paid $62 million for the show originated with the Empire Herald, a fake news web site. The Empire Herald has previously published fictional stories claiming that a man committed suicide after it was announced that Harriet Tubman would be featured in the $20 bill, that a woman was arrested for pleasuring herself with a Happy Meal toy, and that a man was arrested after carving Black Lives Matter into the skin of 19 women. The Empire Herald has removed their disclaimer, which previously stated that much of the content contain on our website is consider satirical in nature unless otherwise specified.
