Cardi B may be living the high life now, but she’s never forgotten where she came from. Over the weekend, the Grammy-winning rapper gave fans a touching glimpse into her past while celebrating Easter with her kids.
Sharing a sweet video of her daughter Kulture, six, and son Wave, three, excitedly playing with their lavish Easter baskets, Cardi got candid about her childhood memories — or lack of them.
“I ain't never had a Easter basket growing up... just eggs and church,” she wrote, adding a nostalgic punch that hit many right in the feels.
It’s a powerful reminder that even though Cardi is now worth a jaw-dropping $80 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, life didn’t always look so glamorous.
The Bodak Yellowstar has been refreshingly open about her upbringing.
Last year, she took to Twitter to share, "I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their a** off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you."
Watching her little ones enjoy the kind of childhood she never had seems to be a full-circle moment for Cardi, who also shares a seven-month-old daughter with her ex, Offset.
The rapper filed for divorce from the Atlanta-raised hip-hop artist last July, but continues to focus on giving her kids the very best — including Easter baskets overflowing with goodies.
