Cardi B explains how she spent $2 million on a music video.

“I wanted to shoot the video in a different country, but because of hurricane season, we had to film in Malibu instead. Malibu is known for its paparazzi, so we hired around 20 guards to secure the area for me, the dancers, and the production team. We also used geofencing technology to manage any social media posts related to the shoot, which added to the overall cost.”
