Cardi B, 31, is one of the biggest rappers in the world, but for her, being a mom is the most important. The “I Like It” rapper simply loves her little ones Kulture and Wave — and is overjoyed to now have a second daughter. Since becoming a mom in 2018, the star has been an expert at balancing home life with making music and performing. And now with her third, she’s only gotten better.
Cardi B spent Mother’s Day 2022 with her husband Offset and daughter Kulture in New York on May 8. The parents matched in bright colors while Kulture added some pop with her neon purse.
While Cardi, birth name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, makes motherhood seem easy, she told Vogue that work life and home life could be “hard to balance” at times in a Jan. 2022 cover story. “It’s good for the mental,” she said. “Like, if I’m playing with my daughter, I forget about the issues.”
Though being a mom was new for Cardi, her husband Offset already had some parenting experience. He has two sons from previous relationships. Luckily, the “Up” rapper simply loves her step-children, making them one happy, blended family. She’s never looked past Offset’s infidelity, dropping their 2020 divorce proceedings for the sake of the family.
Kulture Kiari Cephus
It was big news when Cardi announced she was pregnant with her first child back in 2018. She courted baby rumors for months before debuting her baby bump during her Apr. 7 performance on Saturday Night Live. While rapping to her track “Be Careful,” the camera panned out to show her belly wrapped in a tight, white Christian Siriano gown.
The fashionista didn’t stop with the fabulous maternity looks. During the next month’s 2018 Met Gala, she rocked a glorious Moschino gown inspired by the evening’s theme “The Catholic Imagination.” Cardi also let slip she was having a girl during the event.
Beautiful little Kulture was born on July 10, 2018. Cardi announced the news with a stunning shot of her nude and pregnant. Keeping the message simple, she shared, “Kulture Kiari Cephus 07/10/18” and tagged Offset.
Kulture’s birth wasn’t a cakewalk for Cardi. Talking about her postpartum healing process during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in Oct. 2021, she was blunt. “It was totally harder [than I expected],” Cardi said. “She broke my vagina.” The hilarious star asked the audience, “Why nobody tells you about those things? Nobody told me they were gonna stitch my vagina!”
Now that Kulture’s a bit bigger, she’s totally taken after her parents’ stylish ways. The toddler, who has over 2.2 million Instagram followers, regularly shows off matching looks with mom and dad on social media. So cute!
