According to TMZ, Cardi kicked Shaft to the curb last month after she learned he’d been scamming her out of thousands of dollars. In fact, back in February, the “Bodak Yellow” confronted Shaft over the allegations, claiming he “cooked the books” to make it seem like Cardi made less money than she actually did. But, to make matters worse, she said he also pocketing the difference.

On top of that, Shaft had reportedly been charging Cardi B a 20 percent manager’s fee, which according to the rapper’s fiancé, #Offset, was way above the norm. So, the Atlanta rapper encouraged his lady to ditch Shaft, which in turn led to her new management deal with Quality Control.

Although sources close to Shaft say he acknowledged the high fee, he said it was all used to catapult Cardi’s career.
