Chile! Bernice Burgos has social media counting her pockets after a recent interview. While speaking on Joe Budden’s podcast, the influencer recalled her bartending days in New York City. Though she only worked behind bars for three years, Bernice claims she earned five figures nightly. Social media lit up with reactions, and now the 44-year-old is doubling down on her story.
A slow night allegedly earned Bernice about $30,000. However, during a busy night like her birthday, that figure could be as high as $70,000. Burgos added that she “didn’t even do too much” during this time, meaning she popped out to work in outfits like full-body suits.
After her financial reveal, Joe Budden joked that Bernice Burgos made “the worst drinks,” and another host on the podcast agreed. Budden then said men were spending their coins like THAT because of her looks alone. Watch the viral interaction below.
As mentioned, social media was poppin’ off with reactions to Bernice’s claimed income. Some seemed to believe her, while others doubted she made thousands every nightshe worked.
Not only that, within hours of the podcast clip circulating, online users pulled up one of her older interviews. While speaking with ‘The Breakfast Club’ in July 2017, she said she made much lesswhile working at an NYC venue. Apparently, she only worked at the spot on Sundays and brought home a limited $8,000 on her “good days.”
On Wednesday (Nov. 13), she hopped on Instagram Stories to double down on her bartending story. It appears, from her comments, that the gig she was speaking about with Joe Budden is the same one she referenced in her ‘Breakfast Club’ interview. Burgos clarified that her coin-making didn’t start in the five-figure range but increased with each year she worked the spot.
“If you was in the nightlife in New York City, you know what happened on Power Bowl Sundays. You already know. I don’t know what’s going on now in the nightlife,” she said. Adding, “Every year, it got better and better for me. Every year, I started growing and growing and growing every year…Like I said, if you know, you know.”
