The 28-year-old rapper revealed she and her team get screened for COVID-19 four times a week and it is proving to be expensive to ensure they are all safe and well.

She tweeted: "I get COVID tested bout 4 times a week. My glam and management gotta get tested as well. Every time we get tested is about 250$ each. This is seriously a new business."

When one fan admitted Cardi's costs were "crazy" because she thought the tests were "free", the 'WAP' hitmaker further explained: "It's free when you go to the doctors and s*** but when it's for work and you gotta have people test you at your home is not.(sic)"

But despite the huge cost, Cardi insisted the tests were necessary.

She wrote: "It's necessary because if you in my space and you get COVID, I can get sued.

"If I do a commercial and I get COVID, the company can get sued.

"It's all about not being a liability and is a requirement. The government should be paying for health care workers [but] we pay out our own pockets."

The 'Bodak Yellow' rapper - who has two-year-old daughter Kulture with husband Offset - previously revealed she'd shelled out a lot of money on coronavirus tests so she could spend Thanksgiving with her extended family.

She tweeted: "12kids and 25 adults over the holidays.It was lit !!(sic)"

In response to her critics, she then added: "Sorry my bad wasn’t trying to make nobody feel bad.I just had my family in my home for the first time and it felt so good & uplifted me .I spent soo much money getting every1 tested but it felt worth it.I wasnt trying to offend no1. (sic)"
