Cardi B is speaking out after a video of her yelling at her production team went viral.
It all went down ahead of the BET Awards this weekend during Cardi’s performance at the BET Experience in Los Angeles Friday.
The “Up” rapper was mid-performance when she stopped to address some technical difficulties.
“For production, y’all messing up my pyros, the fans is off, y’all messing up my music. F–k am I paying y’all p—y ni—s for? What am I paying y’all ni—s for? Put my f—ing fan on, b—h. Let’s go,” Cardi can be heard yelling in video footage that began circulating following the event.
The video instantly sent the internet into a tailspin, with many calling Cardi “rude” and “disrespectful” for cursing out her team mid-performance.
“No need for all that that’s [not] how you talk to your employees,” one comment on Instagram read. “So unprofessional to be calling them out like that during the show. Talk to them in private!! Diva mentality!!” said another.
Cardi eventually entered the chat, defending herself as she responded to a tweet that read, “no one should ever be disrespected like this in a workplace.”
