Despite having such a lucrative career in hip-hop, Cardi B still prioritizes her and husband Offset‘s three children — daughter Kulture, 6, Wave, 3, and six-month-old Blossom.
But the balancing act does not always come easy for the rapper. In an interview with Vogue Singapore published on Monday, Cardi discussed the difficulties that come with being a working parent, and shed light on why she never hired a nanny to care for Kulture, Wave and Blossom.
Cardi explained that before giving birth for the first time, people in her circle were worried about how she would be able to handle her career and motherhood. Initially, her solution was to use an nanny to help her out.
“Everybody was so nervous for my career and future, but I kept telling them, ‘It’s easy. Trust me, I’m going to have a nanny and she’s going to travel up and down with me. It’s not even going to be a hassle,’” she told the magazine.
After giving birth, her feelings changed. “When the baby got here, I couldn’t even think about getting a nanny because I was afraid of anybody being around her besides my family,” Cardi recalled. “I’ve never had a nanny for Kulture.”
The rapper added that she tries to makes sure she doesn’t overwhelm her parents with babysitting duties. “Your parents have already lived their life and raised their kids. They are older and don’t have the same energy as someone in their 20s,” she added. “I’m never far from my kids because that’s my responsibility as a mother.”
And as far as her hopes for her kids, Cardi B wants her kids to simply be the best version of themselves that they can be. “I want them to do amazing things when they grows up,” she said of her kids. “I want them to be smarter than me — just be the better version of me.”
Meanwhile, Kulture and Kalea surprise the 32-year-old ‘WAP’ rapper as pair make breakfast for her while she still on bed. Cardi B was so excited and shared the video on her instagram account.
Kalea, who clocks 10th today has been received heartwarming mothercaring from Cardi B since her mother rapper Shya L’amour, divorced her dad, Offset Cephus.
