Cardi B did not hold back when it came time to celebrate her youngest child’s milestone first birthday.
The rapper–who is a mother to daughter Kulture Kiari, 7, son Wave Set, 4, and daughter Blossom, 1, with ex Offset–took to Instagram on Saturday, September 7 to show off the extravagant party she threw for Blossom’s birthday. The festivities were actually a joint celebration for Blossom and her older brother Wave, both of whom were born in September.
Cardi posted multiple videos of the party to her Instagram Story, showing off the two separate themes for her children–including a pink paradise for Blossom and red and black decor for her only son.
Videos from the party show the New York native dancing around in a big dress and having children run up and hug her throughout the party. There was even a catering truck from Raising Cane’s on the premises, where guests were treated to chicken tenders to keep the night going.
Earlier this week, Cardi was asked how becoming a mother of three has shaped her over the years. During the interview for her Billboard covery story, she said that her kids “ground” her, even though motherhood can be a lot of work.
“It turned me into a real woman. I was like, ‘What makes a woman? Her body? Her cooking?’ It’s her maturity and her thinking,” Cardi told the outlet. “If I didn’t have kids, I wouldn’t sacrifice so much. This summer, I haven’t even put my feet in a pool. I do everything for my kids. I’m the only provider and you know what? Ain’t no complaining about it,” she continued. “I love them so much and they ground me.”
While the rapper admitted she can sometimes be “exhausted” from taking care of her kids, it’s all worth it in the end.
“If you think when you get rich you’re going to stop working, you’re never going to stop working. My mom used to be a freakin’ cashier and she used to work every single day,” Cardi said. “To this day, I still talk about how hard my mom worked. I had a very rough childhood, but my mom always made sure we ain’t go to no shelter.”
“I want my kids to be like, ‘My mom made sure I had everything that I wanted,'” she added.
