Today is a bittersweet revelation for Cardi B.
On March 5, the “WAP” rapper went to Instagram to announce the release of her new venture: an original doll modeled on the artist himself.
“BARDI GANG !! I’m throwing down my own doll today!” she writes with a photo of the statuette in the box. “Inspired by me. Created by me. Designed by me. Thank you @officialrealwomenare It means sooo much. Visit the site now to discuss your doll. You only have 72 hours – so go for it!”
The 28-year-old star, the mother of the 2-year-old Culture Kiari, later told why she decided to start in the toy industry.
“I’m a mom of a girl and you know how crazy I go with my nieces at Christmas and all, right?” she began. “And I’m just like, ‘Wow. ‘These dolls are not like Barbies nowadays, they are much more expensive, they have more fashion and are much more diverse. They are so chic and I have to constantly spend money on these dolls. My daughter constantly wants me to buy these dolls, she actually has a preference. ‘
