Cardi B clearly making money moves out here.

Cardi B fever hasn't died down since the "Bodak Yellow" takeover and if anything, it's been bigger since she simultaneously released her album and confirmed that she's having a baby. Over the past few days, she's been more inescapable than ever. She's been on two major platforms with SNL and co-hosting The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. It's clear with the moves she's making, she's securing the bag with it. And to further prove that, she's revealed that she's dropped a massive bag for her Coachella set.

While speaking to Sirius XM, Cardi B revealed that she dropped $300K out of her own pocket for her Coachella set which means that she's losing more money than she's making for the show.

"Coachella been booked. We been booked Coachella like six or seven months a go," she said. "I'm getting paid for Coachella like $70K a day. I been booked for this. Then it's like I have to invest so much money on my stage set. My own money that I have to go to Wells Fargo and write a check. It's crazy, almost like $300K... It's an investment. You gotta take that to the chin."

The funny thing about it is she initially didn't realize how much of a big deal Coachella was. However, if you end up catching her set, just know that you're definitely getting your money's worth.
