The Bronx rapper is not concerned about possible gang retaliation over her Instagram post, according to sources.

Cardi B is carrying on with her All-Star Weekend club appearances after being threatened by alleged gang members over an Instagram post this week. The Bronx rapper reportedly received threatening messages after she seemingly disrespected the Crips in a post where she wore a blue coat. "I hate wearing Flue but this shirt was too poppin," read the now-deleted caption, replacing the B in Blue with an F. Following the messages, the nightclubs hosting Cardi's 3 events over the weekend have tripled their security, but a new report from TMZ says the rapper is not taking the threats too seriously and the appearances will continue as planned.

Citing "sources close to Cardi," the report states that the "Bodak Yellow" emcee has "no fear of gang retaliation." According to the source, she has reminded her team, including record company execs, "she's from the streets, so nobody's stopping her bankroll."

Cardi will appear at Murano, Penthouse and Ace of Diamonds, which are all under the same ownership. It was reported that club management at the venues held an emergency meeting Wednesday to discuss how to handle the threats. Off-duty cops are said to have been added to security and will be present in uniform inside the events, in addition to triple the number of armed guards.

Cardi is looking at a $250,000 payout from the events, one of which will be with Migos, a group which includes her fiancé Offset
