Cardi B opened up about her money bag after fans speculated that she is struggling financially.
After the Grammy winner shared a sponsored ad with clothing brand Shein on Tuesday, Cardi’s fans took to the comments to question why she would partner with the fast fashion line if she often wears expensive brands.
“People say that I’m surviving off Shein deals and brand deals — wait hold on,” the rapper said in a voice recording shared via X on Tuesday. “I want to let y’all know I could wake up tomorrow, sign a contract, and have half of $65 million — or half of $70 million – in my bank.”
Cardi continued to flex her wealth by saying she isn’t merely “surviving” and spends “about $3 million in a month.”
The 32-year-old proceeded to address the screenshot she posted of a text message that revealed an alleged tour deal Cardi had in negotiation in September.
In the messages between the mother of three and an unidentified person, the deal claimed that Cardi would be paid $1 million per show for a “total” of $65 million.
They also alleged that Cardi would be paid “half the money upfront upon signing the contract.”
Cardi — who recently gave birth to her and her estranged husband Offset’s third child — emphasized that the text messages were from September during her “off year.”
“That was on September of this year, not old s–t,” she said. “And mind you this my off year by the way.”
The “WAP” hitmaker further clapped back at her haters by stating that she doesn’t want to sign a tour deal until she announces her next album.
“I don’t want to take tour deals until I announce my album because when I announce my album I know they’re going to up it,” Cardi said. “You have to move smart. You can’t act hungry when you’re not.”
Offset’s estranged wife released her last album “Invasion of Privacy” in 2018 and has been teasing that she’s working on her next record in recent months.
In the sponsored post Cardi shared at the start the week, the New York-born musician flaunted several faux fur coats that cost “under $200.”
“Girl you wear Hermes and Chanel not Shein,” one follower quipped in the comments, while another added, “I love you Cardi but this is like a person who only fly private advertising a sale on Spirit airlines 😂😂.”
Despite the haters, several of Cardi’s fans came to her defense, recalling that she used to collaborate with Fashion Nova in the early days of her career.
“Yall must’ve forgot cardi when cardi was rocking fashionnova let’s not act brand new 🤣🤣🤦🏻♀️ yall must be new here,” one fan penned.
“I JUST SAID THE SAME THING!!!! Cardi ALWAYS been about beauty on a budget exxcept [sic] then shoes and jewelry nothing new!” a second netizen wrote.
