Mike G, Cardi’s booking agent, the same person tied to the company that fed that Politico hit piece about Nicki Minaj having “MAGA bots,” may have told on himself before the numbers were finalized. Check the first screenshot for his comment. After the April 12 show in Charlotte, Pollstar data shows the tour had sold about 398,000 tickets with three shows remaining. One in Florida and two in Atlanta. Now look at the actual capacities. The Florida show did roughly around 10 to 11 thousand tickets. State Farm Arena in Atlanta did about 22 thousand across two nights. That would realistically bring the total to around 430 to 432 thousand tickets. Which is exactly what Mike G said the day before the final show. He said 430,000 tickets sold. So far, that part actually lines up with the venue data. But here’s where it stops making sense. That same day, before the final show even happened, he also claimed the tour had already crossed 70 million. Now fast forward. The final reported numbers suddenly jump to around 453,000 tickets. So where did the extra 20,000 plus tickets come from? There were no additional shows. No additional capacity. Nothing in the venue data supports that jump. And at the same time, Pollstar’s paid data is still sitting under 70 million. So how were “final numbers” already being reported before the last show, yet somehow increased after the tour ended? Either the numbers were final when he said them, or they weren’t. Because both cannot be true at the same time. Please see the attached screenshots. This is based on publicly available information and an active online conversation. The people have questions.
