Pregnant Cardi B’s Coachella Performance Was Just as Over-the-Top as You’d Expect

So just how much did this production cost? In an interview with SiriusXM’s Shade 45, Cardi revealed she had to dish out quite the lump sum of cash to make her show happen. “I have to invest so much money on my stage set, my own money,” she said. “It’s crazy. Almost 300 thou. It’s an investment.”

Interestingly, we also learned that Cardi in fact lost money from her performance. She revealed she got paid $70,000 for each performance, which adds up to $140,000, not the nearly $300,000 she spent on her stage. She said she didn’t realize Coachella was “such a big deal,” and that the price was negotiated before she became the superstar she is now.

Of course, this isn’t the first time Cardi’s live performance has made a splash. Most memorably, she took the stage at Saturday Night Live earlier this month not only to give fans another taste of her hits, but also to appear before the cameras in a body-hugging white Christian Siriano dress that indeed confirmed her pregnancy.

Cardi will once again take the Coachella stage during the festival’s second weekend on Sunday, April 22.
