WHILE performing at the BET Experience show over the weekend, Cardi B stopped mid-set to drag her crew members for their mistakes.
Following the performance, Cardi, 31, revealed just how much she paid her crew members for the show.
On Friday, the rapper took a few minutes to discuss her production team’s mistakes, stating they were “messing up my music.”
“For production, ya’ll messing up my pyros,” Cardi said while fans cheered her on.
“The fan is off, ya’ll messing up my music. F**k am I paying ya’ll p***y n***as for?
“What am I paying y’all n***as for? Put my f**king fan on, b***h. Let’s go.”
Videos of the incident went viral, with one X user commenting on her thoughts on Cardi’s treatment of her employees.
“I understand that people have families to feed, but I wished we lived in a better world because no one should ever be disrespected like this in the workplace environment/ at all,” she wrote.
“This principle isn’t exclusive to less glamorous positions. Celebrities included.”
This prompted the Grammy-winning artist to respond, saying, “Girl shut up…”
She went on to explain that her production team gets paid $350,000 before the show.
“At the end of the day that money is not returnable… don’t half a** my show because you comfortable when I definitely don’t half a** when it comes to paying…

“Don’t tell me how to talk to anybody when you the same h* talking bout my kids and other deceased parents for no reason.”
In another tweet, Cardi explained what exactly went wrong with the production team.
According to the artist, her crew members “failed to have the fire marshall go over safety with my team which is sooo simple to do.”
She also stated that the choreographers had the wrong mix and the four fans she booked weren’t turned on.
Cardi went on to say that the crew “they didn’t bother to show up to rehearsal while hundred thousands of dollars was put into this show.
“Don’t play with my money in this economy honey.”
MOM OF THREE?
In addition to the incident with her production team, Cardi gained attention for her outfit choice at the show.
Cardi wore an oversized jersey dress, which added fuel to the pregnancy rumors that’s been circulating recently.
“What’s the point in hiding it tho? It’s obvious she is pregnant. Otherwise, she’d be up there practically naked,” one fan said on Instagram.
Prior to her BET performance, fans speculated Cardi B was pregnant with her third child after the rapper posted photos of her outfit at the 4th Annual Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards last week.
She wore an oversized blazer over a sheer skirt.
Oversized clothing has become a staple for celebrities covering up their pregnancies.
Cardi already shares two kids, Kulture and Wave, with her estranged husband, Offset, 32.

In May, Cardi called her relationship with the Migos rapper “complicated” in an interview with Rolling Stone.
“We do love each other. It’s not even about love,” said Cardi.
“We’re best friends. And it’s like, ‘OK. Well, there was a time that I didn’t have a best friend, or I didn’t have a support system.’
“It’s not even about ‘How do you leave a partner?’ How do you stop talking to your best friend?”

Throughout their relationship, Offset has been at the center of multiple alleged cheating rumors.
Amid the rumors, Cardi claimed she was single in December 2023.
Recently, the two have been seen in multiple outings since her declaration.
Offset also showered Cardi with love during Mother’s Day this year.
