Cardi B has explained why she hasn’t embarked on her own tour this summer.
In a since-deleted post on Instagram, the 26-year-old shared a spreadsheet showing her performance fees for the month of June, July, and the beginning of August.
The spreadsheet showed that she’s being paid up to $750,000 to headline festivals in Europe, including Longitude – which took place in Dublin last weekend.
Cardi 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.” [sic]
She continued: “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,” she added. [sic]
