In her meteoric rise from rags to riches, Bronx-based rapper Cardi B has emerged as a top artist today. Having reached such lofty heights in such a short time, she’s managed to garner attention for a lot of reasons –one of which is her recurring penchant for throwing out demands.

Cardi doesn’t hold back in giving the public her opinions, nor does she hesitate whenever she’s not in the limelight, off-stage, or away from the comfort of her own home. Through her social media account, backstage rumblings, and other avenues, we’ve got the lowdown on not just any old demands this rap diva has made, but incredibly insane ones.

Every artist has a tour rider— which is a list of requests they can make backstage before a show.

It makes one wonder why Cardi demanded something as specific as this, other than the mere fact that she can.

Since Cardi hit it big, she’s gained bargaining power. After having her baby last year, in a report by TMZ, she demanded at least $300,000 for every show she performs going forward. While that may sound ridiculous at first, the same source notes she was getting offers at the time close to $500,000, so it's not outside the realm of possibility.

12 She Performs On “Her Terms”

Cardi is asking for more than just big money for her performances going forward, though it’s a little more vague than the former demand. According to TMZ, performing has to be on her terms only.

Accepting her newish role as mama bear, Cardi B is making sure she’s putting her daughter, Kulture Kiari Cephus, first. TMZ reports that Cardi demands that her shows take place not too far from home. That’s so she can still be close to her little one while still making bank.

6 Demanded More Coverage Of Fellow Female Rappers

Even though she’s received a lot of attention and fame over the last few years, Cardi doesn’t just want it all for herself.

4 Demanded More Money From Ex-Manager She Sued

Cardi had a falling out with a former manager which led to a lawsuit where she initially sought $15 million.

Without a doubt, it’s another case of the rapper not being afraid to demand more money.

3 Demanded Gillette Razors Backstage For Show

Venues want the artists they host to be happy in the hopes that they’ll come back in the future. So in Cardi’s case, whatever Cardi asks for, Cardi gets - even if that means Gillette razors. Capital Xtra reports that Cardi added this to her tour rider for Coachella back in 2018.

2 She Demanded That The Government Shutdown End

Since Cardi got a platform, she’s been using it every chance she gets.
