Rama's Spotify Wrapped | 05-15-26

On this Friday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid details reports that Big Apple first lady Rama Duwaji reportedly curated Spotify playlists with songs that have foulmouthed anti-Israel lyrics — with one bizarrely titled “hungry but sexy for palestine.” The wife of Mayor Zohran Mamdani compiled the playlists targeting the Jewish state following the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack, a new report said — the latest instance of the 28-year-old’s radical online behavior coming under scrutiny. In other news of the day, Mayor Mamdani has made recent efforts to reach out to Citadel CEO Ken Griffin according to several sources in the city's business community familiar with those efforts - but the CEO appears in no mood to speak to Mamdani and may be holding out for a public apology for the video Mamdani posted on Tax Day calling out Griffin's $238 million pied-a-terre, and President Trump wrapped up his whirlwind three-day trip to China after tea and lunch with Xi Jinping early Friday Eastern time. The commander-in-chief and his Chinese counterpart discussed a wide range of pressing issues over the course of the historic summit, aimed at shoring up relations between Washington and Beijing and opening up the Communist country to American businesses. Ariella Noveck, Brian Kilmeade, Cherie DeVaux, Dick Jerardi, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Joe Tacopina & K.T. McFarland join Sid on this Friday installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning.
