Cardi B to BZR WKND promoter: 'You never sent me 2.5' — Ryan Burke says she was paid in full, Cardi vows countersuit

BZR WKND founder and CEO Ryan Burke told CVM TV on Monday that Cardi B was paid US$2.5 million for the Kingston show she pulled out of in October. "She was paid in full," Burke said, adding that organisers have hired lawyers and are pursuing legal action to recover the money.

BZR WKND founder and CEO Ryan Burke told CVM TV on Monday that Cardi B was paid US$2.5 million for the Kingston show she pulled out of in October. "She was paid in full," Burke said, adding that organisers have hired lawyers and are pursuing legal action to recover the money. CVM said it was shown copies of five transfers totaling that amount. Cardi went on Instagram Live soon after and disputed it. She said she received her deposit, that the second half meant to cover production was due Sept. 17 and never came, and that a later payment of "750" arrived only after she said she was cancelling, so she sent it back. "You never sent me 2.5, so what are you talking about?" she said. "I'm gonna countersue you." She also apologized to Jamaican fans and said she would love to perform there for a different promoter. Whether Burke's lawsuit has been filed is not confirmed.
