Cardi B has gotten into a war of words with her former producer SwiftOnDemand over alleged unpaid royalties.
Swift, who has production and songwriting credits on both of her Gangsta Bitch Music mixtapes, slid into Cardi’s Instagram DMs with a link to an article about the rapper’s excessive spending habits, accusing her of failing to keep her promise to take care of him financially.

“To all my youthful producers/songwriters out there, make sure your paperwork is put together right before working with any artist because things like this can happen, and you’ll be the one fucked in the end,” he wrote on Instagram while sharing their private conversation.
“This industry is filled with fake, nobody got you but you in the end, my advice to you! thankfully I’m a smart young man who does my research and receive what I do, but I am OWED way more then what was GIVEN and this is the response I get.”
Cardi responded by sending SwiftOnDemand an angry voice note in which she yells: “Shut the fuck up! You believe everything that you see on the fucking internet […] I have to feed all my three kids. I have fucking bills, n-gga, that nobody helps me with but myself. So shut the fuck up!”
The Bronx bombshell later commented on the producer’s post: “Please tell them how I have giving you my lawyers numbers and all my managers numbers from new ones to old managers. You are upset because our first manager shaft put you in a fucked up deal that my own managers tried to help you get out of.

“MIND YOU I was in a fucked up deal myself wit the same person that I had to end up paying 11 million. I even had offset trying to help you with your paperwork. I told you millions of times I got no control on the mixtapes that you worked on because it’s under our old manager label not Atlantic.
“A grown ass man counting my pockets by social media talking bout people im taking care of Nikka I got 3 kids and I take care of my family and I pay my own bills I don’t owe you nothing !!!!”
In a follow-up comment, Cardi claimed that she has screenshots of her giving Swift legal advice and helping him earn royalties from their collaborations, which were later posted on X by gossip blogger Ken Barbie.
“The issue is that you don’t understand you have to sue shaft the one that put you in a fucked up deal not me,” she wrote.

The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker also explained why she hasn’t worked with Swift since 2017: “You also mad cause I don’t work wit you again and no offense I just don’t like that sound anymore.
“You a grown ass man acting like I owe you money for a mixtape I don’t own the rights too. You want to get money go sue the Nikka that put us in the f up contract.”
The thing that most of the people who are trying to make this Cardi/Swift situation a thing are missing (likely on purpose) is that she literally does not owe him anything, and he’s pretty much confirming that with a lot of what he’s said.

SwiftOnDemand hit back by accusing Cardi of failing to respond to his communications and lying about her estranged husband Offset helping him with his paperwork.
“I’ve been tryna contact you off n on this whole time no solid communication… you even told me that you COULDN’T help me because OF offset [thinking face emoji],” he wrote in response to one of her above comments.
He also issued a pointed response which included the snarky remark: “SO YOU WROTE ALL THOSE SONGS AND MADE THOSE BEATS BY YOURSELF THEN…. OKAY copy Cardi the producer/songwriter.”
