Fellow rappers and famous parents, Cardi B and Offset, have a blended family, and some strict rules come with it. The couple got together after collaborating on the song “Lick” in 2017 and quietly got married that same year. Offset had three children from previous relationships, Jordan, Kalea, and Kody, and Cardi B became their stepmother before having two of her own children with the rapper. The “WAP” rapper has admitted that her own rebellious childhood is what has inspired some strict rules for her kids, Kulture and Wave.
In an interview with W Magazine, Cardi B said that her mother was a strict parent and didn’t let her attend sleepovers at other kids’ houses. The rapper explained that her mom’s harsh rules led her to skip school and get into trouble.
“My mom tried to stop me from all of that, but I still did it. I joined a gang. If she had let me out as often as I wanted to, I probably would be dead or got my face cut up. Or been a teenage mom,” she said. However, she insisted that she intends to be just as firm with her own children — particularly with her daughter, Kulture — and not allow her to attend sleepovers either. “I’m going to be very strict. Like, you can have whatever you want, but you can’t do whatever you want,” she said.
