Cardi has always been honest with her fans, ever since she first rose to fame. Just the other week, while she was promoting her new Facebook Messenger series, “Cardi Tries”, she took to Twitter to answer fans’ questions and held nothing back about the experience.
Most recently, however, the superstar was busy answering her fans on Twitter about how much her music videos cost her to make, and also gave insight about how her career and relationship with her husband, Offset, flourished.
Bardi started off by explaining how the video for her first hit, Bodak Yellow, cost her only $15k: I was in Dubai and I said…I gotta fly picture (videographer) out here …BOOM BOOM BANG ! Ya know the rest.

While a millie for WAP could seem unsound to many, the investment turned out to be fruitful. The visual featured cameos from Mulatto, Kylie Jenner, Rubi Rose, and more. Eventually, the video broke the record for the biggest 24-hour debut for an all-female collaboration on YouTube as well as setting the record for the site’s biggest United States debut.
She then went on to explain how her future husband Offset made her go over-budget in the Lick video, and then gave insight as to how the power-couple romance begun.
“Set was about to pull up and I barely knew him so I was so shy and when he kissed me on camera my heart sinked.”
Ugh it was very 😑.We shot the video at a casino in a Holiday Inn in Jersey and I was embarrassed cause it look so low budget and Set was about to pull up and I barely knew him so I was so shy and when he kissed me on camera my heart sinked😍Every1 was like 😵😵😮😮 https://t.co/mHsVghmT2m
