NEED TO KNOW
Cardi B says there is a hefty price that comes with raising her three children.
The “I Like It” rapper, 32, detailed the high cost of her kids’ everyday lives in a series of posts on X Spaces, in response to ex Offset allegedly having filed for spousal support earlier this month. (The pair share daughters, Kulture, 6, and Blossom, 8 months, plus son, Wave, 3.)
“Y’all want to know what’s the kids’ bills? Start adding,” Cardi said. “My kids got their own driver. The kids’ driver is on a retainer for $10,000 a month.”
Going on to allege that Offset does not contribute to the tuition payments for Kulture’s private school education, which she said cost $45,000, Cardi continued. “Kulture and Wave gets tutoring four times a week.”
“Kulture’s piano class — that’s $300 an hour, and she gets piano classes three times a week. I’m not sure how much is gymnastics and Wave’s boxing classes, but I pay for that, too,” she added.

Further detailing more costs tied to her kids, the Grammy winner then said, “My cousin babysits Wave and Kulture. She gets paid $3,000 a week.”
Explaining that her youngest daughter has her own nanny, Cardi said she is paid $500 each shift, because “she’s only staying in the daytime.”
“This is not even including food,” she added. “My kids have a personal chef that come from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. that I pay for because people in my house don’t have time to cook.”
Cardi B also claimed to have purchased the family’s home on her own, and she said she maintains a security staff to protect her children.
“I bought that s— with my sweat and tears,” she said, then addressing the Migos star, whose real name is Kiari Cephus, claiming, “You have left me with the kids’ bill.”

Outside of the list of expenses, Cardi also criticized Offset’s alleged lack of presence in youngest daughter Blossom’s life.
“I want you to die. But I want you to die f—— slow,” Cardi said on X. “Kiari is allowed to see my kids. There is not one day that he’s not allowed to see my kids. He stood up my kids three times. He has seen Blossom only like five times.”
Cardi announced her third pregnancy the same day as her July 2024 divorce filing. Offset responded to the legal document by allegedly asking that she pay spousal support.
The rapper previously filed for divorce in September 2020 amid Offset’s alleged infidelity, but later called it off.
