Cardi B Denies Financial Hardship Allegations, Claims $3M Monthly Spending

Cardi B, the famous American rapper, has denied allegations suggesting she’s struggling financially, claiming that she spends $3 million a month and is financially stable. Her comments came after some online critics raised questions about her financial status, especially after a video showed the rapper posing in Shein winter jackets, a popular e-commerce platform known for selling affordable clothing. In a voice recording shared on X (formerly Twitter), Cardi B set the record straight, boldly asserting that she could spend vast amounts of money whenever she wanted.

Cardi B’s Lavish Lifestyle

In her voice message, Cardi B made it clear that financial hardship is not something she’s dealing with. “I can go spend $500,000 on a f*ing car tomorrow. I could buy myself a $300,000 watch tomorrow,” she said. She further emphasized her wealth by claiming, “B**, I could buy your mother.” These strong statements came in response to recent speculations about her financial status, ignited by the rapper’s collaboration with Shein. Critics had insinuated that working with a budget-friendly brand like Shein was a sign of financial struggle, but Cardi B dismissed these claims, reiterating her wealth and continued financial success.

Cardi B’s Impressive Earnings

In the same recording, Cardi B revealed that she could easily sign a lucrative deal with a potential for significant income. “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,” she stated, emphasizing her financial security. This bold claim was backed by screenshots of a text message she shared, showing ongoing negotiations for a tour deal. The proposed deal involved $1 million per show for a tour consisting of 65 concerts, potentially earning her $65 million in total.

Cardi B further explained that she has taken a break from touring, stating that this was a strategic decision. “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,” she added, revealing her business-savvy approach. By waiting for the right moment, Cardi B ensures she doesn’t appear “hungry” for money when she’s already financially secure.

Social Media Reactions: Support and Criticism

Despite Cardi B’s clear explanation, some fans questioned why she would collaborate with Shein, given her affinity for high-end luxury brands like Hermès and Chanel. “Girl, you wear Hermès and Chanel, not Shein,” one social media user remarked. However, other fans defended Cardi B, pointing out that she has long worked with fast-fashion brands such as Fashion Nova, making her partnership with Shein not surprising.

One follower took to X to show their support: “I love you so much, but this space is so unnecessary. Baby, you are rich, rich. Why are you explaining anything to these people? Put it in a song…” This comment highlights the ongoing trend of Cardi B’s fans defending her against unnecessary scrutiny, with many agreeing that the rapper doesn’t need to justify her success.

Cardi B’s Rise to Fame

Cardi B’s journey to superstardom began through viral videos on Vine and Instagram, where she quickly gained a large following between 2015 and 2017.

Cardi B made history as the first female rapper to have multiple solo number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including five chart-toppers. Her influence has led her to be named one of the most influential female rappers of all time by Forbes.
