New York City Mayor Eric Adams made a cameo appearance on a campaign flyer in the music video for the late Notorious B.I.G.'s "Juicy."

Earlier this week, Mayor Adams became the topic of discussion when he was charged with bribery and campaign finance offenses, and fans began talking about him on social media. One of the things that was brought up regarding Adams was his cameo in the music video for Biggie's "Juicy."

Adams' cameo happens at the 1:38 mark when a man is doing pull-ups on a traffic signal, and Adams's face is seen on a campaign flyer posted on the pole. At the time, Adams was running for a seat in Congress in New York's 11th district, which he ended up losing.

On Sept. 26, Adams was charged with bribery, campaign finance, and conspiracy offenses. The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York accused him of taking bribes and soliciting illegal campaign donations, including from foreign nationals.

In the wake of the indictment, the 64-year-old released a video statement where he denounced the undisclosed charges as "entirely false, based on lies."

"My fellow New Yorkers, it is now my belief that the federal government intends to charge me with crimes," he said. "If so, these charges will be entirely false, based on lies. But, they would not be surprising."

Adams continued, "I always knew that If I stood my ground for all of you that I would be a target—and a target I became. I will fight these injustices with every ounce of my strength and my spirit."
