Cardi B Explains Why Not Going On Tour Makes Her More Money

Confused about why Cardi B isn't embarking on a tour of her own this summer? You're not alone. Nevertheless right after getting bombarded with questions about whether she's planning a formal tour or not, the rapper took to Instagram on Thursday night (July 11) to explain that — plain and simple — she makes more cash in the festival circuit. So please, stop asking.


plus a spreadsheet that broke down all of the cash she's guaranteed to earn this summer from festivals and one-off concert gigs, Cardi explained why a tour of her own would ultimately put far less cash in her pocket. "I find it so funny that people that ARE NOT FANS have the hugest concerns on why haven't I done a tour," she wrote in the now-deleted Instagram post, according to Just Jared. "Welp because here you go, let me break it down for you, let's mention if I go on tour and I do 600K a night right… sounds good nevertheless let's get in the touring agency shall we? Stage production gotta be massive since the fans pay massive so just on stage and production I plan to have to put about 450K maybe more a night since you know Bardigang deserve everything."


Cardi also explained that there really are other things, aside from production, that would cost her added cash if she were to go on tour. Case in point, right after dishing out money for outfits, makeup, and hair, she mentioned trim only be "left with like 150k a night." And while that may not sound also shabby to us typical folk, the spreadsheet she shared proves her math to be correct — performing at festivals guarantees a way bigger payout.

Right now why would I do that right now While I can go on tour on my second album As soon as I get festival and independent Cardi concerts," she added. Cash? Mhhhhhmmmmmm… You visualize ya might think I'm silly cause my attitude or the way I think however one thing bout Bardi I loveeeee cash and I know how to prepare it …I hope I answer ya question …Thank you. Just stop it already." Well, there you have it, folks.
