Cardi B knows kids can be kids sometimes — especially when it comes to ruining expensive items.
In a since-expired Instagram Stories post on Sunday, March 23, the rapper, 32, showed off the aftermath of her daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, 6, getting a hold of her dark yellow Hermés Kelly bagin exotic crocodile skin worth $60,000.
The short 14-second clip, later reshared on YouTube, shows the Grammy winner pointing at the middle of the purse. “We spent $60,000 on this purse,” she said. “Look what my daughter did to my purse. Look what my daughter did to my purse. Look what my daughter did to my f—– purse.”
As the musician zoomed in, fans got a closer look at a heart written in black marker on the flop underneath the handle. “Look…” she says in disbelief one more time before sighing.
Luckily, all is not lost. Hermés bags can be brought back to the store and repaired, for a cost, of course.
In addition to Kulture, Cardi B is also a mother to 3-year-old son, Wave Set Cephus, and a daughter born on Sept. 7, 2024, whose name she has not revealed, with estranged husband Offset, 32. She filed for divorce from the rapper in July 2024.
It’s no surprise that the mom of three was shocked by what happened to her Hermés bag, as she has an extensive collection that she previously showed off in October.
During the video tour, Cardi B shared that she had gotten what appeared to be the same Hermés Kelly bag as well as two Hermès Birkin bags in dark crimson red and gray. The tour also showed off her closet, which had other luxury purses.
Cardi B has also gifted her daughter her own set of luxury gifts, including a $830 Versace snowsuit,$80,000 worth of jewelry and her own hot-pink Hermès Birkin bag when she turned 2.
However, in a July 2022 conversation with Vogue Singapore, the proud mom said she strives to make sure her kids stay humble.
“They need to know to never feel comfortable. Don’t ever feel like, ‘I’m going to get it because I’m Cardi and Offset’s kid’. They are never going to know what struggle feels like, so they might not have that hunger I had to leave the streets,” she said.
