<div>
<p><span>Festival CEO Ryan Burke claims the rapper was paid 2.5 million US dollars to headline the October event but failed to fulfil her commitment or appear on a proposed rescheduled date.</span></p>
<p><span>However, Cardi B has disputed those claims, insisting she received only a one-million-dollar deposit and never received the outstanding payment needed to cover production costs.</span></p>
<p><span>The rapper says she is prepared to take legal action if organisers proceed with their threatened lawsuit.</span></p>
<p><span>Meanwhile, festival organisers say refunds are being processed for ticket holders.<br></span></p>
