Cardi B, the Grammy-winning rapper and global superstar, has made headlines once again—but this time, it’s not about her music or her high-profile marriage. The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker has revealed why she never hired a nanny for her two children, Kulture Kiari and Wave Set, and why she intends to take the same approach with her third child. In an industry where celebrity parents often rely on an army of nannies, Cardi’s decision has sparked admiration from fans and fellow parents alike.

Balancing motherhood with an intense music career is no easy feat, but Cardi B has been vocal about her desire to be a hands-on mother. In a recent interview, she opened up about her commitment to personally raising her children rather than outsourcing their care.

“When I had Kulture, people kept telling me, ‘Girl, you need a nanny! You’re not going to have time!’ But I just couldn’t do it,” Cardi explained. “I want to be the one to wake them up, feed them, put them to bed. That’s something money can’t buy.”

Cardi emphasized that despite her busy schedule, she makes sure to carve out quality time for her children. “It’s all about prioritizing,” she said. “I’ll record my music when they’re asleep or bring them with me to the studio. I want them to know that their mom is there, no matter what.”

One of the primary reasons Cardi B has avoided hiring a nanny is trust. The rapper has been candid about her struggles with trusting outsiders when it comes to her kids.

“I don’t trust nobody with my kids,” she admitted. “There are too many crazy stories out there. I don’t care how much someone is vetted, at the end of the day, they’re still a stranger. My kids are my world, and I’d rather be exhausted than take any chances.”

Instead of hiring outside help, Cardi relies on her family, particularly her mother and sister, to assist when needed. “If I need help, my mom is right there, my sister too. They love my babies as much as I do.”

Beyond safety concerns, Cardi B also believes that raising her children herself helps set an important example. “I grew up seeing my mom work hard for us. I saw her sacrifice, and I want my kids to see that too,” she said.

Cardi hopes that by being present in their daily lives, she can instill strong values in her children. “I don’t want them growing up thinking everything is just handed to them because their mom is famous. I want them to appreciate hard work and love.”

With Cardi B and Offset expecting their third child, fans have wondered whether she will finally hire help this time around. However, Cardi insists that nothing will change. “If I could do it with two, I can do it with three,” she said with a laugh. “It’s going to be crazy, but I love my kids too much to hand them off to someone else.”

Offset, her husband and fellow rapper, has expressed his admiration for Cardi’s dedication as a mother. “She’s superwoman,” he said in a recent interview. “She takes care of everything, and I respect that so much.”

Cardi B’s decision to raise her children without a nanny has earned her widespread praise, with many fans calling her a “real mom” who prioritizes her kids over fame. Social media has been flooded with support, with one fan tweeting, “Cardi B could afford an army of nannies, but she chooses to be there for her kids every day. That’s real love.”

Others have shared their own parenting experiences, with some admitting that Cardi’s stance has inspired them to be more hands-on in their own families. “It’s refreshing to see a celebrity mom actually raising her kids herself,” another fan wrote. “Much respect to Cardi B.”

In an industry where childcare is often outsourced, Cardi B’s approach stands out. By choosing to raise her children without a nanny, she has shown the world that despite her wealth and fame, her role as a mother is her most important one. With baby number three on the way, Cardi is proving once again that motherhood and superstardom can coexist—on her own terms.
