"The song, which we can confirm is a bop, features lyrics including: "F**k any other Nani says they better than Praveen," and "Wrapped in a shawl just in case of cool breeze, but you'll never catch me, better just catch Z's." If that wasn't enough, Mamdani even released a music video featuring none other than television personality Madhur Jaffrey. Yes, really."
"In a prophetic post to his Mr. Cardamom X/Twitter account in 2019, Mamdani's last tweet reads: "You know I'll be forever spicy but I'm taking a break from being a spice to answer the question of what happens when a B-list rapper runs for office." What happens, according to this week's polls, is the B-list rapper becomes the first Muslim mayor-elect after winning nearly 51 per cent of the vote."
Zohran Mamdani, 34, won New York City's mayoral race with nearly 51 percent of the vote, becoming the city's youngest mayor-elect in over a century and the first Muslim mayor-elect. Mamdani ran as a socialist and identified as an LGBTQ+ ally. He had a brief music career in 2019 under the name Mr. Cardamom and released a single titled "Nani" dedicated to his grandmother Praveen Nair, featuring affectionate, brash lyrics and a music video starring Madhur Jaffrey. The song and video attracted UK press attention and social reposts, and Mamdani pledged to protect all New Yorkers, including LGBTQ+ people.
