Remember: Nothing should come between a woman and her Birkin bag, especially if that woman is Cardi B.
Popular rap artist Cardi B has proudly shared details over the years of her extravagant lifestyle, including her purchases of expensive clothes and accessories and spending in excess of $3 million each month. And no, that is not a typo.
The rapper and her ex-husband, fellow rapper Offset, have also shared their wealth with their three children, going so far as to buy a $8,000 pink Hermès Birkin bag for their daughter Kulture's second birthday present, so she could be "fly" like them.
Cardi reasoned:
"If I'm fly and Daddy's fly, then so is the kid!"
But piquing her daughter's interest in Birkin bags and other expensive accessories may have not led to the appreciation and care for the items that the singer might have hoped to inspire in her young daughter.
In a since-expired Instagram story, Cardi B appeared, totally crashing out over one of the Birkin bags in her personal collection.
Gesturing to her yellow crocodile-skin Birkin, she vented:
"I literally spent $60,000 on this purse. Look what my daughter did to my purse."
She repeated in disbelief:
"Look what my daughter did to my purse!"
As the camera zoomed in, a small heart drawn in ballpoint pen became visible, drawn on the top of the bag shortly above the clasp.
#CardiB’s daughter, Kulture, has found a unique way to make her mark on a pricey accessory.

Some pointed out that this was the perfect example of why they didn't want to have kids.
My issue with kids is they have their own stuff & she’s a celebrity kid so I know she has more than enough to keep her occupied, yet let’s draw on mommy’s bag regardless of price

But most felt that Kulture was just being a kid and that this little heart actually increased the bag's value exponentially.
am I the only one that thinks it’s lowkey so cute 😭 like now it’s worth even more because her daughter drew a little heart on it and she’ll always be w her when she goes out with this purse 🥺🥺🥺

The rap artist has previously voiced her desire for her children to "stay humble" and not take their lives for granted.
“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."
"Even though my kids are well-off, I want them to know that when you work for things and achieve it, it’s more respected, especially when people see that you bust your a** for it."
Though Cardi might be upset right now by her newly-decorated Birkin, it might be just the conversation starter for her to ensure that Kulture always understands the privilege of the life she has and not to take it for granted, even when there's money to buy a replacement.
