After some followers accused the 32-year-old rapper of taking brand deals to pay the bills, Cardi B was determined to come clean in a voiceover published via X on Tuesday, December 3.
“People say I’m surviving on Shein deals and label deals — wait, wait,” she said in the voiceover. “I want to let you know that I can wake up tomorrow and sign a contract and I’ll have half of $65 million — or half of $70 million — in my bank.”
The “WAP” singer added that she regularly gives away big bucks to support her lavish lifestyle.
“I spent about $3 million in a month,” Cardi B added.
The rapper claims that 2024 is her “down year” when it comes to music deals, adding that she’s purposely holding off on signing a tour deal until her next album release to secure a bigger payout.
“You can’t act like you’re hungry, especially when you’re not,” Cardi B explained.
She figured she could make $1 million per show, or $65 million total, when she finally opted to make a deal with “half the money up front at signing.”
