Saudi Arabia’s Biggest Music Festival in CHAOS After Cardi B Pulls Out Last Minute!

Saudi Arabia’s massive MDLBeast Soundstorm Festival — one of the most expensive music events in the world — is scrambling after Cardi B suddenly backed out of her headlining performance just days before showtime.

The festival is set to kick off in a little under two weeks, but insiders say things behind the scenes have turned into pure mayhem. And yes… the Saudis are reportedly heated.

Cardi Just Had a Baby — And Now She’s Not Budging

Cardi B gave birth to her fourth son on November 4, and while she originally agreed to perform knowing she’d be fresh out the maternity ward, word is she’s now refusing to fly to Riyadh.

Organizers thought they could change her mind. They thought wrong.

Sources say the team behind the government-funded festival has been bending over backwards — offering:

A larger, ultra-luxury private jet
Upgraded five-star accommodations
A multimillion-dollar hospitality package

But Cardi isn’t moving. Sis is planted like a tree.

**The Festival Dropped Hundreds of Millions — And They’re Panicking**

MDLBeast Soundstorm reportedly spent more than £225 MILLION to secure big names like Calvin Harris, Post Malone, Swedish House Mafia, and Benson Boone.

So Cardi pulling out this close to showtime? It’s causing a meltdown.

And here’s the real mess: The festival hasn’t fully sold out.

Fans are whispering that the soft ticket sales might be one of the reasons Cardi B doesn’t feel the need to go risk traveling overseas so soon after giving birth.

Organizers, meanwhile, are “pulling their hair out,” trying to make sense of the situation.

Saudi Officials Are Scrambling for a Replacement

With barely 12 days left, the team is now on an emergency hunt to find another global superstar to replace Cardi — and with the clock ticking, whoever they book is going to cost a fortune.

One insider called the situation “a full-on disaster,” adding that people behind the scenes are working around the clock to patch up the lineup before the festival kicks off.

At this point, Soundstorm might need a miracle — or a billionaire with a contact list full of A-listers.
