Get him an espresso!
Mayor Eric Adams claimed Wednesday he has no clue who pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is after she bragged about “getting him indicted.”
“I don’t know her, I don’t even know what that is about,” Adams said on 94.7’s “Jonesy In The Morning,” about Carpenter, whose chart-topping tune “Espresso” has been dubbed the song of the summer.
Here’s what Hizzoner supposedly doesn’t know — Carpenter’s racy music video filmed in a Brooklyn church likely brought a flamboyant Catholic priest and his friend Frank Carone, Adams’ ex-chief of staff, under federal scrutiny for their business dealings.
The raunchy 2023 video for “Feather” was released at the cusp of Carpenter’s meteoric rise to pop superstardom.
The tiny Carpenter, 25, has since scored big hits with her ditties “Espresso” and “Please Please Please.”
Carpenter has also cheekily courted controversy, with parents clutching pearls over her “horny,” innuendo-filled album “Short n’ Sweet.”
Her mischief continued during a Sept. 29 gig at Madison Square Garden, where she joked about her connection to the swirl of controversies around Adams.
“Damn, what now? Should we talk about how I got the mayor indicted?” Carpenter quipped.
But Carpenter was at least partly singing “Nonsense.”
The “Feather” music video — in which Carpenter writhes at the altar of a Williamsburg church while wearing a little black dress — doesn’t appear to feature in the feds’ bribery and corruption case against Adams.
Instead, the unholy brouhaha led infuriated Brooklyn diocese officials to first discipline Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello, who allowed Carpenter to film the video, and then launch an internal investigation.
They later linked this investigation to a federal subpoena seeking information about the business dealings of Gigantiello and his longtime pal, Carone.
The feds’ probe into Carone and Gigantiello is one of several focused on Adams’ friends and top officials, but appears separate from his historic indictment.
“Everyone is trying to find an angle to everything,” Adams lamented on 94.7.
