Cardi B didn’t hold back when addressing the technical issues onstage. She expressed her frustration directly, saying, “For production, y’all messing up my pyros, the fans [are] off, [and] y’all [are] messing up my music. F**k am I paying y’all p**sy a** n**as for? Turn my f**king fan on, b**ch. Let’s go.”
Cardi B’s public remarks led to online debate. One Twitter user expressed concern, saying, “I understand that people have families to feed, but I [wish] we lived in a better world because no one should ever be disrespected like this in a workplace environment. This principle isn’t exclusive to less glamorous positions. Celebrities included.”
“Girl, shut up… When you do a show, you don’t pay after. You pay before. I paid $350,000 upfront, [and] the least they could do is get my pyro ready and turn the fans on because guess what??? At the end of the day, that money is not returnable,” the rapper responded.
Cardi further elaborated on her stance regarding the performance’s quality during a fiery back-and-forth with YouTuber Milagro Gramz. “Don’t half-a** my show because [you’re] comfortable when I definitely don’t half-a** when it comes to paying,” she stated.
“Don’t tell me how to talk to anybody when you the same h** talkin’ bout my kids and other deceased parents for no reason,” she added.
The BET Experience lineup featured a variety of artists. Gunna performed hits from his album “One of Wun” like “whatsapp” and “prada dem.” Sexyy Red gave a sneak peek of her tour with songs like “Rich Baby Daddy” and “SkeeYee.” Davido and Jordan Ward also took the stage at the event.
