Cardi B came to justify her actions after a video showing her cursing at her production team went viral.
In the midst of her performance at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, where she headlined the BET Experience concert ahead of Sunday's BET Awards, Cardi B encountered multiple technical issues. During the show, the rapper can be seen yelling at her team in frustration.
"Y’all messing up my pyros, the fans is off, y’all messing up my music. What am I paying y’all for? Turn my fan on, bitch," Cardi can be heard in the video.
The outburst sparked controversy with fans criticizing her behavior. One X user wrote, "No one should ever be disrespected like this in a workplace."
Taking to X, Cardi responded to the criticism, explaining that she had paid $350,000 upfront for the show's production elements, including pyrotechnics and fans, which were not properly managed.
"Girl shut up.. when you do a show you don’t pay after you pay before.. I paid 350,000 up front the least they could do is get my pyro ready and turn the fans on because guess what??? At the end of the day that money is not returnable…" the rapper wrote.
Cardi added, "don’t half ass my show because you comfortable when I definitely don’t half ass when it comes to paying.. don’t tell me how to talk to anybody when you the same ho talkin bout my kids and other deceased parents for no reason."
Despite the backlash, Cardi B's explanation received mixed reactions from fans and followers on social media.
