Cardi B is back in the headlines for her staggering spending habits and an explosive call-out from her former producer, SwiftOnDemand, for not helping him.
The drama unfolded after the “WAP” rapper revealed that she spends an eye-watering $3 million per month on her lifestyle, defending herself against critics accusing her of being financially strained. This came in response to rumors sparked by her partnership with the fast-fashion brand Shein. Some fans even joked that she was “surviving on Shein” and brand deals, prompting Cardi to respond with, “People say that I’m surviving off Shein deals and brand deals. Wait, hold on,” the rapper said in a voice recording shared via X on Tuesday. “I want to let y’all know I could wake up tomorrow, sign a contract, and have half of $65 million — or half of $70 million – in my bank.
Cardi continued to flex by revealing that she isn’t merely “surviving” and spends “about $3 million in a month.” The Grammy winner even went on to share a screenshot of an alleged tour deal she had in the works.
Her response, however, didn’t just ignite debate online—it also reopened old wounds with SwiftOnDemand, the producer behind her early hit “Pull Up.”
After seeing reports about Cardi’s multi-million-dollar spending, SwiftOnDemand reached out to the rapper via DM, calling her out for not helping him after he contributed to her rise in the industry. The producer shared a voice note of Cardi responding to his message, though the details of her reply remain unclear.
Swift shared a screenshot of the exchange with the caption, “PSA. To all my youthful producers/songwriters out there, make sure your paperwork is put together right before working with any artist because things like this can happen, and you’ll be the one fucked in the end. This industry is filled with fake, nobody got you but you in the end, my advice to you! Thankfully, I’m a smart young man who does my research and receives what I do, but I am OWED way more than what was GIVEN, and this is the response I get.”
This isn’t the first time SwiftOnDemand has publicly aired grievances with Cardi. Back in August 2023, he accused the rapper of downplaying his contributions to her song “Pull Up,” despite her retweeting a post claiming she wrote the track herself. SwiftOnDemand clarified that he wrote and produced the song, adding tension to their already strained relationship.
The ongoing feud has fans divided. While some sympathize with SwiftOnDemand, noting that early collaborators often get overlooked as stars rise, others argue that Cardi B doesn’t owe anyone financial support, especially years after their professional collaboration.
