    Cardi B has hit back at claims she is broke and claimed she spends a whopping $3 million a month

    The 'Money' rapper, 32, is known for splurging the cash on designer garments and her lavish lifestyle, but after she posted a sponsored ad with budget fast-fashion brand Shein, her followers started to question why she needed the money and she fired back by revealing the status of her finances and the fact she could easily bag a fortune from tour deals


    Reacting to comments on X, she said in a voice note: "People say that I'm surviving off Shein deals and brand deals - wait hold on.

    "I want to let y'all know I could wake up tomorrow, sign a contract, and have half of $65 million - or half of $70 million - in my bank."

    One follower had commented on her video post for Shein on Instagram: "Shien?!?! Are you kidding me. That's embarrassing."

    Cardi insisted she is waiting to sign a new tour deal until she announces her new album because she knows the price will go up.

    The 'WAP' hitmaker told her critics: "I'm not surviving, baby, I spend like $3 million in a month."

    Meanwile, Cardi B recently admitted she has been "partying hard" since her split from Offset.

    The music star split from the father of her three children - Kulture, six, Wave, three, and a daughter born in September - last year and filed for divorce from him in July, and she admitted to partying to take her mind off of her relationship troubles.

    In a recent audio clip posted on X, Cardi shared: "A lot of people have been saying that I've been going out a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot lately, which I have. Yesterday was my last day going out to party.

    "I'm not going to party for a little minute, do you know what I'm saying? Me and my friends decided for a little minute, because I feel like we keep seeing the same people now."

    Cardi - who married Offset back in 2017 - is determined not to "overthink" her personal troubles.

    The 'Bodak Yellow' hitmaker said: "After you have a break-up, you have to just live a little bit, you know what I'm saying?

    "If you're in the house, even if you work, you could work and get that money, you over-think that situation and it's like ... that might fry you again. Not only might that fry you, it might make you sad. That might depress you. That might make you do dumb decisions, like hit up your ex or something like that."

    Cardi has also rubbished the idea that she's "too old" to party.

    The rap star said: "I hate that people be going, 'You're too old to be going out. You're too old to be going out.' B****, I'm in my f****** 30s! I work my a** off and I was put up a whole seven years. I need to live a little bit."
