Cardi Bis responding to fans accusing her of financial struggles.

The rapper, 32, posted avoice recording to X(formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, Dec. 3, explaining her recent financial moves — and she sounded agitated that people thought she may not have as much money as she does.

“People say that I’m surviving off Shein deals and brand deals — wait, hold on,” she said. “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 continued, saying that this year is her “off year.” She didn’t want to sign a tour deal until she announces her album, Cardi B said, because she’d get a higher amount then.

“I spent like, about $3 million in a month,” she said.

Cardi B then addressed a screenshot she posted of a conversation from September, which suggested she could be paid $1 million per show or $65 million total. The other person, who remained unnamed, alleged that she would be paid “half the money upfront upon signing the contract.”

Her post came after she shared asponsored Instagram ad with Sheinearlier that day — a video of herself modeling a lineup of fur coats.
