Mayor Mamdani Is Hard to Dislike, No Matter How You Feel About Politics

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani sits down with Jillian Superstar for the first episode of 360 With Jillian, and the conversation feels more like two people talking than a politician doing press. Mamdani gets into everything — how he and 50 Cent finally ended their online beef, the exact moment he first saw his wife’s profile on Hinge and knew he had to message her, and whether he thinks A$AP Rocky could actually beat him in a future mayoral race. They also talk about who really deserves the “King and Queen of New York” title, and how he tries to balance running the city with staying plugged into internet culture, music, and the nonstop chaos of New York life. It’s honest, funny, and shows why people end up liking him even if they don’t trust politics.
