Justifying why she won't go on tour to promote her second album, the 'Bodak Yellow' hitmaker turns to Instagram to share a detailed rundown of her takings from June to August gigs.
- July 13, 2019
AceShowbiz - Cardi B shared a snapshot of her impressive earnings from her summer gigs on Instagram on Thursday night (July 11), before deleting it just two minutes later.
The "Bodak Yellow" hitmaker posted an image giving a detailed rundown of her takings from concerts from June to August - with fans quickly working out she will have pocketed an incredible $10 million (£7.8 million) by the end of the summer period.
Among the biggest paying gigs were the Wireless Festival in London, for which Cardi received a fee of $750,000 (£589,000), and Open Air Frauenfeld in Frauenfeld, Switzerland, which she earned $900,000 (£706,000) for on Thursday night and battled through sickness to perform there.
Explaining why she'd shared the financial post, Cardi, who also goes by the nickname Bardi, wrote: "I find it so funny that people that ARE NOT FANS have the biggest concerns on why haven't I done a tour. Welp because here you go, let me break it down for you. Let's say if I go on tour and I do 600K a night right... sounds good but let's get in the touring business shall we? Stage production gotta be massive since the fans pay massive so just on stage and production I will have to put about 450K maybe more a night since you know Bardigang deserve everything. Don't forget, outfit, makeup, hair, I'll be left with like 150k a night."
"Now why would I do that now when I can go on tour on my second album while I get festival and independent Cardi concerts. Money??? Mhhhhhmmmmmm... You see ya might think I'm dumb cause my attitude or the way I think but one thing bout Bardi I loveeeee money and I know how to make it ...I hope I answer ya question ...Thank you. Just stop it already."
