Cardi B 'reveals her income for the summer as she explains to her fans why she won't go on tour'
Cardi B revealed her summer income Thursday in an Instagram post she later deleted.
The I Like It songstress, 26, displayed a spreadsheet indicating her income over the course of last month, this month and next month in an extended explanation of why she's sticking with the festival circuit and one-and-done shows instead of going on her own tour this summer, according to Just Jared.
'I find it so funny that people that ARE NOT FANS have the biggest concerns on why haven't I done a tour,' the Bodak Yellow artist said. 'Welp because here you go, let me break it down for you.'
