Cardi B is living large and unapologetic, revealing that her monthly spending habits top $3 million. The 32-year-old rapper addressed rumors about her finances during a candid conversation on X Spaces, shutting down speculation that she’s struggling with money and doubling down on her status as one of rap’s biggest earners.
“People say that I’m surviving off Shein deals and brand deals,” Cardi said. “I could wake up tomorrow, sign a contract, and have half of $65 million — or half of $70 million — in my bank.”
A Lifestyle Beyond Compare
Cardi, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Cephus, emphasized that she takes lucrative brand deals not out of necessity, but because they’re “easy money.” The rapper shared that she recently turned down a $65 million tour deal, explaining she’s waiting to announce her next album to negotiate even bigger contracts.
“You have to move smart,” Cardi said. “You can’t act hungry when you’re not.”
Fans Question the Shein Ad
The rumors about Cardi’s finances began swirling after she posted a sponsored ad for fast-fashion brand Shein on Instagram. While some fans speculated that the ad signaled financial woes, Cardi quickly clarified that her bank account is anything but empty.
In audio clips, she mentioned previous negotiations for a $1 million-per-show tour deal and noted that her wealth comes from a variety of revenue streams, including endorsements and performances.
Waiting for the Next Era
Cardi’s financial flex comes as fans eagerly await her sophomore album, a follow-up to her 2018 Grammy-winning debut Invasion of Privacy. While she has kept her music projects under wraps, Cardi hinted that she’s biding her time to maximize her earnings.
Her comments also highlighted her shrewd business acumen, showing she’s not just a music star but a financial powerhouse.
Rap’s Big Spender
Despite the skepticism, Cardi’s revelations only cement her status as one of rap’s biggest spenders and earners. Her fans may have to wait a little longer for her next album, but Cardi’s bold moves prove she’s playing the long game in both music and money.
