Cardi B took over the stage at the BET Experience in Los Angeles on Friday night.
The I Like It singer, 31, rocked a black and silver sequined leather number 11 top which she paired with matching black leather micro shorts and rhinestone-studded platform Prada boots.
Rapper Bongos, who recently showed off one of her rare Hermes bags, performed a selection of her hits including Press, Money and No Limit, and the crowd loved it.
However, the singer did not do so and addressed the Crypto.com Arena technical team mid-set to discuss some problems on stage.
‘For production, y’all ruined my pyro, fans is off, y’all ruined my music. What am I paying y’all for?’ Cardi, 31, said. ‘What am I paying y’all blacks for? Put my motherfucking fan on, bitch. Come on.’

One person took issue with the Bronx-born rapper’s rant and took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their complaints.
“I understand that people have families to feed, but I wish we lived in a better world because no one should be disrespected like this in a work environment/at all,” the fan wrote.
“This principle is not exclusive to less glamorous positions. Celebrities included,” they continued.
The tweet caught the attention of the WAP singer, who responded with a heated response.
“Girl, shut up… when you do a show you don’t pay later, you pay before,” she wrote.
“I paid $350,000 up front, the least they could do was get my pyro ready and turn on the fans, because guess what? In the end, that money can’t be paid back…” the Bodak Yellow hitmaker wrote.
‘Don’t do half my show because you’re comfortable when I definitely don’t half do it when it comes to paying…don’t tell me how to talk to anyone when you talk the same way about my kids. and other deceased parents,” he continued.

“I spent $100,000 on pyrotechnics that we couldn’t use because the production team couldn’t get the fire marshal to go through the safety review with my team, which is a very easy thing to do,” he said.
“I spent days rehearsing learning choreography, but in the end they had the wrong mix and we had to change it… we reserved four fans so they could turn on during Bartier Cardi and that never happened…” he continued.
‘You want to know why? Because they didn’t bother to show up to rehearsal while hundreds of thousands of dollars were being invested in this show. Don’t play with my money in this economy,’ he concluded.
