Fans were taken aback when Cardi B disclosed the substantial amount she spends on her and Offset’s three children.
The ‘WAP’ artist and the ‘Migos’ member were in a relationship from 2017 until 2024. Cardi B initiated divorce proceedings for the second time in 2024, having previously done so in 2020 before retracting it.
In an Instagram Live session, she mentioned, “I have been ‘single for a minute’,” adding, “But I have been afraid… not afraid I just don’t know how to tell the world.”
At that time, she also announced her pregnancy with their third child, a daughter born in September of the previous year.
Known for her candidness, Cardi B took to X Spaces on Friday (May 30) to disclose how much she spends on her children’s lifestyles.
This revelation followed Offset, 33, reportedly seeking spousal support, as reported by People Magazine.
Cardi B shared that her children, Kulture, 6, Wave, 3, and Blossom, 8 months, participate in various activities, have a personal driver, and attend weekly classes, all supposedly funded by her.
“Y’all want to know what’s the kids’ bills? Start adding,” Cardi stated. “My kids got their own driver. The kids’ driver is on a retainer for $10,000 a month.”
The 32-year-old criticized Offset for allegedly not contributing to Kulture’s private school tuition, which she stated is approximately $45,000.
“Kulture and Wave gets tutoring four times a week,” she disclosed. “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 gymnastic and Wave’s boxing classes, but I pay for that, too.”
Cardi B mentioned that her cousin babysits her two oldest children for ‘$3,000 a week’ and that she employs a nanny who earns $500 per shift as she only works during the daytime.
“This is not even including food,” she remarked. “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 finances a 24-hour security team to guard the family home due to alleged ‘threats’ against them.
“I bought that s**t with my sweat and tears,” she expressed, seemingly addressing Offset with, “You have left me with the kids’ bill.”
Fans reacted with surprise on social media, with one person commenting: “Cardi pays her kids driver $10K a month sign me up.”
Another remarked: “3k a week to babysit?? Gah damn”, while a third wrote: “The cousin gettin paid 3k a week to babysitttt IS TEAAAA!!”
