Cardi B Surprised After Her Daughter Uses $60K Hermès Purse for Art

In a recent Instagram Stories post, the 32-year-old rapper revealed how she found her yellow croc-embossed Hermès bag altered by her daughter, who had drawn a small black heart on the front. The mother of two shared this amusing incident with her followers.

The incident involved Cardi B’s pricey designer purse being personalized by Kulture’s spontaneous action of doodling a heart on it. The rapper’s social media post gave fans a glimpse into this lighthearted moment between mother and daughter, highlighting the humorous side of parenting.

“I literally spent $60,000 on this purse,” Cardi said from behind the camera, per Page Six, zooming in on the small doodle in disbelief.

“Look what my daughter did to my purse. Look what my daughter did to my purse. Look what my daughter did to my f-cking purse. Look,” she repeated, growing more exasperated with each line.

The clip ended with a dramatic sigh of frustration, and the internet has not stopped talking about it since.

Cardi wasn’t exaggerating. A similar Hermès Kelly style currently retails for over $61,000 on resale site 1stDibs. But some fans were quick to point out that the new design might make it even more valuable, at least sentimentally.

“She loves you [red heart emoji] That’s a keepsake,” one commenter wrote on a reposted version of the video on YouTube. Another chimed in, “It’s better now. Something that your daughter drew is more valuable than that purse.”

While some fans gave sweet sentimental takes, others were more focused on the practical side of things, suggesting ways to remove the ink. “Take it in for spa service, sure it will be resolved,” one person advised. Another added, “Get a hot rag with some soap and water and lightly rub it off.”

Of course, this isn’t Kulture’s first run-in with luxury fashion. The mini fashionista already owns an impressive Hermès collection of her own, including a rainbow-bedazzled Birkin worth nearly $50,000. Maybe it’s time for a bag swap?

While she hasn’t confirmed whether Hermès will be performing a designer “rescue mission” on the bag, fans are wondering if the now-iconic heart could actually increase the resale value.

Either way, one thing’s for sure… this purse now tells a story, and as any parent (or fashion lover) can tell you, the most priceless accessories are sometimes the ones that come with a little chaos and a whole lot of heart.

Cardi B and Offset are one step closer to putting a major legal headache behind them. The estranged couple has reportedly reached a tentative settlement with the landlord who sued them for property damage and unpaid rent related to a Los Angeles mansion they once called home.

The lawsuit, filed in December 2023 by landlord SD Squared, accused Cardi, Offset, and his company Sallie Smith LLC of breach of contract and negligence following their 20-month stay in a sprawling 8,535-square-foot Beverly Hills estate.

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Offset and the landlord reached a settlement “in principle” during mediation on November 7, 2024. However, both sides still need to finalize and sign off on the agreement before it’s considered official.

The complaint alleged that the rappers moved into the home in February 2022 but vacated without notice in October 2023, leaving behind unpaid rent and utility bills, as well as an estimated $85,000 in damages to the luxury property.

Offset and his company have denied all allegations, arguing that parts of the lease agreement were unconscionable and allegedly signed under duress and fraud. In a countersuit, they claimed they initially agreed to pay $35,000 per month in rent for the luxury mansion, but later, the landlord allegedly attempted to hike the rate to $45,000 per month.
