Cardi B is always going to stand on business while being about her business.
“Wooow I got FOUR songs that hit the billion mark on Spotify…I’m soooo excited to put out new music and reach even more milestones. Thank you sooo much everyone for listening, it really means alot to me.. I can’t wait for you to see and hear what’s next,” Cardi B wrote on Instagram.
“That’s for one show,” Cardi B explained.
What’s more, the manager noted to the artist he believed her compensation could rise even higher, reaching $2 million. However, although it is certainly a pretty penny, she makes it clear that money isn’t her only driver.
“If I was doing things for money, I would put out music every month because nothing pays me more than shows,” she told Rolling Stone. “I’m turning down these concerts because I don’t got no new music.”
What’s more, with over 190 million followers across Instagram and TikTok, Cardi B is also reaping the benefits of brand deals. In a tweet shared on April 3, 2024, she mentioned being paid $200 a post from her first brand deal. Today, her paychecks now exceed $5 million per campaign.
“Right now I get brand deals for over $5 million for a campaign… I got social media famous in 2014…my first brand deal from Fashion Nova was in 2016 and $200 a post. You could reach any height no matter how ghetto or where you come from. Just remember the key is to be patient and be humble,” Cardi B wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
“I made a lot of money. I made a lot of money…I feel like I actually passed almost doing $88 million. I make a lot of money,” Cardi B said.
