Cardi B visits ‘Sway in the Morning’ hosted by SiriusXM’s Sway Calloway on Eminem’s Shade 45 at the SiriusXM Studios on April 10, 2018 in New York City.

*In a new interview with SiriusXM’s Hip Hop Nation, Cardi B revealed the she won’t be making big money moves with her gig at Coachella.

According to the artist, she’ll pocket $70,000 per day, meaning $70,000 each weekend.

Surprisingly, that $140K will not be enough to break even from the amount she’s shelling out for the performance, which includes nearly $300,000 for her stage set, alone. She calls that sum an “investment.”

According to Billboard, Coachella was able to get Cardi for peanuts because they booked the interview over six months ago, “when she wasn’t quite as big of a draw as she is now. And also possibly because she didn’t know Coachella was such a big deal, as she also explains in the interview.”

Artists don’t usually share the size of their paychecks, but for Cardi is not your average artist, thank goodness.
