After a Twitter troll uploaded a video of Cardi B’s performance at Miami’s Art Basel over the weekend with the caption, “Not the Grammy winner performing in someone’s backyard,” the rapper responded that she received a seven figure payday for the performance.
Cardi wrote, “I got payed 1 million dollars to perform at this elite bankers private event for 400 people and only for 35 minutes,THINK ABOUT THAT WHEN YOU TYPE ABOUT THIS GRAMMY WINNER.”
She even attached an invoice from WP Touring Inc. that showed the million dollar payout from her brief performance. Later on Twitter she confirmed that she wore a sequined nude illusion bodysuit for the set, telling a fan who questioned her outfit, “it’s a custom Jean Paul Gaultier look and it represent the purest form of women bodies.”
Last year’s Art Basel, Cardi launched her boozy Whipshots brand with a party at The Goodtime Hotel. This year, she helped by performing at the party thrown by Tequila Don Julio 1942. Just last week, she called into Angela Yee’s final day hosting The Breakfast Club in order to tease her follow up to her 2018 Grammy-Award-Winning debut album Invasion of Privacy. Cardi stated, “I gotta put it out next year,” after revealing it’s still “missing something” despite having “like, a couple of songs that are, like, definite.”
