While fans are focused on new music, Cardi B is focused on creating generational wealth. Cardi B has aligned herself with various endorsement deals over the years from Pepsi, Reebok, NYX Professional Makeup, and Fashion Nova, which she worked with earlier on in her career. As AFROTECH previously told you, Fashion Nova paid the rapper $200 for every post back in 2016, two years before the release of her successful debut album “Invasion of Privacy.” That number went as high as $20,000 per month, according to Vox. In April 2024, she revealed she was earning over $5 million from brand deals. Cardi B has proven she is able to bring in the dough for companies, and over the past couple of years she is now doing the same on her own terms. In 2021, Cardi B launched Whipshots in partnership with Starco Brands, which sold 5 million cans within three years, a press release mentions.

When you’re committed to evolving, the only way to go is up, and that’s Cardi B’s story. Before becoming a music star and having a social media following of over 100 million, she was in hustle mode to make her music career pop off. The Bronx, NY, native has been outspoken about facing many rejections at the start of her rap career. The superstar says she received lowball offers from record labels and was not taken seriously because she had previously been on the cast of the VH1 network’s reality TV series “Love & Hip Hop: New York.” So, in true hustler fashion, she decided to bet on herself. “I invested my own money in everything,” Cardi B shared on “The Jason Lee Show.” “For my videos to my looks.” Cardi B also recalled paying for artists to collaborate with her when she first started releasing mixtapes and her own music tour. In addition to initially self-funding her artistry, the “Bodak Yellow” emcee started on the low tier for brand deals when she was known for being a popular...

Regardless of the pundit’s opinions surrounding Cardi’s music career, the rapper has leveraged her success to keep advancing her career beyond music. AfroTech previously reported that Cardi B has brand and endorsement deals with companies like Fashion Nova, Pepsi, Marc Jacobs, and Rap Snacks. The...

Gone are the days where are artists were solely focused on album sales. In fact, most people would be hard-pressed to find albums and CDs in stores available for physical enjoyment. Because no one really owns CDs anymore, listeners mostly rely on streaming services to enjoy their music. And with a focus on how streaming numbers affect popularity and accolades, artists are more particular about how the streaming data is counted. Recently, Cardi B was accused of boosting her streaming numbers ahead of the release of her sophomore album.
