Cardi B shares her side of the story on social media while netizens express criticism for her behavior
As mentioned, Cardi B's behavior at the recent BET Experience Concert Series was not well-received by the public. While social media platforms have been flooded with multiple posts, an anonymous user shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) when the video started trending. The post stated:
"I understand that people have families to feed, but I wished we lived in a better world because no one should ever be disrespected like this in a workplace environment/ at all. This principle isn't exclusive to less glamorous positions. Celebrities included."
Although the tweet cannot be seen for now due to limits set by the owner of the account, Cardi B retweeted the post on June 29, 2024. She wrote in response that she paid $350,000 in advance but her pyro was not ready and the fans were not turned on. She added:
"At the end of the day that money is not returnable… don't half a*s my show because you comfortable when I definitely don't half a*s when it comes to paying.. don't tell me how to talk to anybody when you the same ho talkin bout my kids and other deceased parents for no reason."
A person under the username @Lyran Empress retweeted the post and criticized that Cardi B was targeted because she did not talk properly, being a female. The user wrote that it is impossible to behave decently in certain situations since "they'll take it as walk overable."
The Saturday Night Live star replied by thanking the person, adding that she paid $100,000 for Pyro but could not use the same since the production team could not get the fire marshall to discuss the safety with her team. She also wrote:
"Spent days in rehearsal learning choreography just so for them to have the wrong mix and we had to swap it out .. booked four fans so they could be turned on during Bartier Cardi and that never happened.. you wanna know why? Because they didn't bother to show up to rehearsal while hundred thousands of dollars was put into this show."
Cardi B performed a few verses from G-Eazy's hit singles
The Love & Hip Hop: New York star's performance was supposed to be 40 minutes at the BET Experience Concert Series. The audience cheered as she performed songs from her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, which came out in 2018 and grabbed the first spot on the US Billboard 200.
Apart from that, she even sang some verses from G-Eazy's tracks such as No Limit and Tomorrow 2. Notably, she was featured in No Limit along with A$AP Rocky. Cardi B's outfit additionally grabbed a lot of attention as it resembled a football jersey.
