Kulture Kiari officially turned 8 last week Friday, and Cardi B pulled out all the stops to celebrate her oldest daughter’s big day.
The Grammy-winning rapper gave fans a glimpse inside the birthday festivities on Instagram, sharing photos from a weekend that included a trip to Universal Orlando followed by a colorful Care Bears-themed celebration with family and friends.
“Happy birthday to my sweet beautiful first born @kulturekiari …just the most kind hearted girl in the world ..My real life bestie,” Cardi wrote. “Shout out to @universalorlando A TIME WAS HAD !! Ooo and of course @thecakegirl for the amazing cakes.”
The party feautured bright colors, rainbows, and plenty of Care Bears. Oversized character displays surrounded the dessert table, which had cupcakes, cookies, cake pops, and several elaborate custom cakes created by The Cake Girl. One towering cake was decorated with Care Bears figurines spelling out Kulture’s name, while another showcased pastel rainbows, stars, clouds, and hearts.
Kulture looked every bit the birthday girl in a sparkling light blue gown with matching sheer gloves and sandals. One photo showed her smiling beside one of her birthday cakes before joining family and friends to sing “Happy Birthday.”
“Awe so beautiful like mommy HBD,” one commented under the post. Another added, “And she had the siblings with her that’s love right there.”
Others couldn’t believe how quickly time has passed since Cardi welcomed her first child in 2018.
“Kulture is EIGHT now??? Omg,” one fan commented.
Cardi welcomed Kulture on July 10, 2018, during her marriage to Offset. Just days after giving birth, the rapper told fans she wanted to slow down and embrace motherhood before returning to work.
“I just want to learn how to be a mom. I want to enjoy every single second of it since I’m going back to work,” she said in an Instagram video at the time. Cardi also shared that she was thankful to have plenty of support from her family, including her mother, father, and younger sister, Hennessy Carolina, as she adjusted to life with a newborn.
As Kulture grew older, Cardi began sharing more about her daughter’s personality. During a 2020 interview with Billboard, the rapper described her then-2-year-old as “really sassy” and said she could already tell Kulture would have a big personality.
Cardi also revealed what she hopes her daughter always remembers as she grows up.
“I always want her to know that she’s beautiful,” she said. “I want her to be confident always. Don’t let one comment break you and make you feel like you’re not that girl. You that girl.”
Cardi and Offset also share son Wave and daughter Blossom. The rapper is also mom to a son, affectionately known as “Baby Brim,” whom she welcomed with NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
