Cardi B is firing back at Jamaican concert promoter Ryan Burke, challenging him to take her to court after he accused her of accepting millions of dollars for a performance she ultimately canceled.

Burke, the CEO of BZR WKND, claimed Cardi received her full $2.5 million payment for a scheduled October 18 concert in Jamaica and failed to return the money after canceling her appearance.
However, Cardi disputed those claims during an Instagram Live session on November 9, insisting she received approximately $900,000 as an initial deposit and that the promoter failed to deliver additional funds needed to cover production expenses by the agreed deadline.
According to Cardi, an additional $750,000 arrived only after she had decided to cancel, and she returned that payment. She explained that the delays made it impossible to properly arrange equipment, dancers, travel, and other production requirements.
Cardi also rejected suggestions that her grandfather’s death was responsible for the cancellation, blaming the promoter’s handling of the event instead.
The Bronx rapper made it clear she isn’t backing down, daring Burke to follow through with his lawsuit and threatening to countersue for defamation.
With both sides offering conflicting accounts of the financial arrangements, the dispute could now be headed to court.
