Cardi B's Agent Says She Never Got Her Full Fee for Jamaica as Cardi Tells BZR WKND Promoter to 'Call My Bluff'

Cardi B's camp is not backing down in her money fight with BZR WKND founder Ryan Burke.

On Tuesday night (Nov. 10), Cardi's agent, UTA partner Mike "Mike G" Guirguis, posted on X: "Here's the truth. @iamcardib never received her full fee for the Jamaica show, and the promoter failed to meet multiple obligations under the agreement. Any claim that she was paid in full is false. Her fans in Jamaica deserve transparency and accountability."

The same night, Cardi went back on Instagram Live. She apologized to the Government of Jamaica, saying people were "putting y'all name in the finesse," and claimed Burke had emailed her team saying the government invested in the festival. She gave him two hours to "call my bluff" before she posted the email and text messages. As of this draft, we have not seen her post them.

Jamaica's Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport says the government made no commitment or payment toward her fee or the concert, calling it "a private commercial engagement in which the Government was not involved." BZR WKND says the festival was independently funded and that Cardi was paid in full, and asked the public to let the legal process play out.

Burke previously told CVM TV he paid Cardi $2.5 million through five transfers and plans to sue. Cardi says she got about $900,000 of a $1 million deposit and returned a later $750,000 payment. Neither side's payment records have been independently verified, and no court filing has been confirmed. Burke says BZR WKND is still being planned for Dec. 20.
