During a headline performance at the BET Experience at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Cardi B faced significant production issues that did not go unaddressed.
The "Enough" rapper openly criticized her production team on stage for various technical mishaps, expressing her frustration over the faulty pyrotechnics and other stage elements.
Cardi’s candid outburst came mid-set as she called out the team's shortcomings.
"For production, y'all messing up my pyros, the fans is off, y’all messing up my music. Fuck am I paying y’all pussy n***as for?” she exclaimed, urging them to rectify the errors immediately, “What am I paying y’all n***as for? Put my fucking fan on, bitch. Let’s go.”
The outspoken star's comments sparked a debate on social media, with one X user criticizing her approach, suggesting that no one should face such disrespect in the workplace.
Cardi responded vehemently, defending her actions by explaining the financial stakes involved. “Girl shut up.. when you do a show you don’t pay after you pay before,” she retorted.
"I paid $350,000 up front 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."
She further elaborated on her investment in the show's production, detailing the extensive preparations and financial commitments made to ensure a spectacular performance.
"I spent 100k on pyro that we couldn't use because the production team failed to have the fire marshal go over safety with my team which is sooo simple to do,” Cardi explained.
She lamented the lack of preparation from her production crew, despite her team's efforts and the money spent.
Cardi B’s insistence on high standards for her performances highlights her dedication not only to her craft but also to ensuring that her audience receives the best experience possible.
Despite the setbacks, the rapper's resolve remains unshaken as she continues to demand excellence from everyone involved in her shows.
