Grammy Award-winning artiste, Cardi B, has threatened to counter-sue the organisers of BZR WKND in an expletive-laden rant on social media after the event promoter revealed plans to take the entertainer to court.
Speaking on CVM TV’s Lead Story on Monday, chief executive officer and founder of BZR WKND, Ryan Burke, said the organisers have retained legal counsel and are planning to sue the rapper to recoup moneys paid to her.

But in an Instagram Live session shortly after Burke’s announcement, Cardi B poured scorn on the revelation.
She says she returned a final deposit of “seven-hundred and fifty” which is being interpreted as US$750,000. This after Burke told CVM TV that he had paid US$2.5 million to Cardi B.
Cardi B says she pulled out of performing in the show because BZR WKND didn’t meet contractual obligations.
According to the rapper, she plans to counter-sue Burke.

The Bodak Yellow rapper was contracted to headline BZR WKND in Jamaica on Heroes’ Weekend.
However, just over a week before the scheduled event, Cardi B revealed she’ll no longer be headlining the show.
BZR WKND has since been rescheduled to December 20.
