Fans were left stunned after Cardi B revealed the staggering amount she spends on raising her and Offset’s three children.
The ‘WAP’ rapper and Migos member were together from 2017 until 2024, when Cardi B filed for divorce for a second time—having previously filed in 2020 before ultimately reconciling.
Cardi first hinted at the breakup during an Instagram Live, saying she had been “single for a minute,” and admitted, “I’ve been afraid… not afraid, I just didn’t know how to tell the world.”
She also shared that she was pregnant with their third child, a daughter who was born in September of last year.
Cardi B has never been someone to shy away from speaking her mind, and in a recent post on X Spaces on Friday (May 30), she revealed the cost of her three children’s lifestyles.
Her response came as a result of Offset, 33, allegedly filing spousal support, according to People Magazine.

According to the rapper, her kids, Kulture, 6, Wave, 3, and Blossom, 8 months, apparently indulge in numerous activities, share a personal driver and take weekly classes – all of which she claims that she pays for herself.
“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.”
The 32-year-old then slammed Offset for allegedly not helping out on Kulture’s private school tuition costs, which she said amounts to around $45,000.
“Kulture and Wave gets tutoring four times a week,” she revealed. “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.”
She went on to say that her cousin babysits her two eldest kids for ‘$3,000 a week’, adding that she has her own nanny, who 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 pays for 24-hour security team to be stationed outside of the home because of alleged ‘threats’ the family has received in the past.
“I bought that s**t with my sweat and tears,” she claimed, before seemingly addressing her ex by saying: “You have left me with the kids’ bill.”
Meanwhile, fans online were stunned by her claims, as one person wrote: “Cardi pays her kids driver $10K a month sign me up.”
Someone else said: “3k a week to babysit?? Gah damn”, while another wrote: “The cousin gettin paid 3k a week to babysitttt IS TEAAAA!!”
