Cardi B brags about getting paid $1M to perform 35-minute set at ‘elite bankers event’ during Miami Art Basel

Grammy winner Cardi B clapped back at a Twitter troll accusing her of ‘performing in someone’s backyard’ during Miami Art Basel last Friday by showing off her sizable paycheck from WP Touring Inc.

‘I got [paid] 1 million dollars to perform at this elite bankers event private event for 400 people and only for 35 minutes,’ the Bronx-born 30-year-old – who boasts 243.4M social media followers – wrote in a since-deleted tweeted Saturday.

‘Think about that when you type about this Grammy winner.’

Indeed, Cardi (born Belcalis Almánzar) was paid upfront on November 3 for the exclusive gig for Chase Sapphire Reserve credit cardmembers at the SLS South Beach in Miami Beach.

The half-Dominican, half-Trinidadian star certainly turned heads wearing a custom naked catsuit designed by Jean Paul Gaultier as she rapped her songs Hot S*** and Money.

Cardi surprised the ‘Chase Sapphire Lounge’ audience by bringing Grammy nominee GloRilla onstage to perform their new song, Tomorrow 2.

‘Last night performing for the best bank in America! Performing is my passion… #lovewhatyoudo,’ the Reebok collaborator tweeted on Saturday.

Cardi previously bragged about being paid over $1M per show for her debut US tour in the summer of 2019: ‘Mind you it was only 7 shows… Let’s not talk about numbers.’

However, the Shake It hitmaker has been delaying the release of her follow-up to her 2018 debut studio album, Invasion of Privacy.

‘I have no choice, I have to put it out,’ Cardi said on The Breakfast Club last Thursday.

‘I have like a couple of songs that are like definite, I don’t know. I don’t know what’s going on with me. I need to just make up my mind and put it out. I just feel like I’m missing something. It’s missing something. I don’t know. I gotta put it out next year.’

The Cardi Tries producer-star also supported her grieving husband of five years – three-time Grammy nominee Offset – who performed at Miami hotspot E11EVEN last Thursday for the first time since his cousin once removed and Migos bandmate TakeOff was shot and 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed on November 1.

The suspect, an unemployed DJ named Patrick Xavier Clark, was arrested by the Houston Police Department last Thursday and charged with the murder of the 28-year-old rapper (born Kirshnik Khari Ball).
