Yesterday on Instagram, Cardi B posted photos and video of the new home she purchased for her mom, fulfilling what she says was a childhood dream. In a video tour of the lovely, spacious new house, Cardi recounts a bit of her journey, including the struggle to get her money up so that she could afford a space worthy of her mother, and baby Kulture’s grandmother:
“This is the happiest day of my life. Last year, I was so thirsty to buy my mama a home, and I could only afford a house that cost six hundred thousand and you know, we live in New York, so cribs that look like that look like shit. I waited, I waited, I waited till I could afford a dream home, and I copped it…I’m emotional.”
Me too, Cardi. Me too. This offers such poignant commentary on the hellish reality of the New York City housing market; it is fully conceivable that a home with a $600,000 price tag could possibly have a toilet in the kitchen, or a front door located on the roof or something. Invite me over for Christmas, Cardi!
