During her headline performance at the BET Experience at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Cardi B faced significant production issues, prompting a candid on-stage outburst directed at her production team.

The “Enough” rapper criticized her team for various technical mishaps, including faulty pyrotechnics and other stage elements. Her frustration boiled over mid-set as she called out the team’s failures.

“For production, y’all messing up my pyros, the fans is off, y’all messing up my music. What am I paying y’all for?” she exclaimed, demanding immediate action, “Put my fan on, let’s go.”

Cardi’s comments sparked a debate on social media, with some users criticizing her approach as disrespectful. However, Cardi defended her actions, emphasizing the financial stakes involved. “When you do a show, you pay up front,” she retorted. “I paid $350,000 up front. The least they could do is get my pyro ready and turn the fans on because that money is not returnable.”

She further detailed her investment in the show’s production, explaining 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 so simple to do,” Cardi elaborated, expressing her disappointment in the lack of preparation from her production crew despite her significant investment.
