The“Bodak Yellow”rapper, 26, bought her mother a house this week, she revealed on social media. Intwo new Instagram videos, she took her fans on a tour of the new digs — and expressed her pride about the sentimental purchase.
“Happiest day of my life,” Cardi said as she surveyed the kitchen, which is furnished with white cabinets. “Last year, I was so thirsty to buy my mom a home, and I could only afford a house that cost $600,000, and you know, we live in New York.”
She peeked into a side room and showed off the foyer, complete with a staircase that has an elaborate banister. “I waited, I waited, I waited, I waited until I could afford a dream home,” she explained.

In October, Cardi said that shegot her strict parenting style from her mother, who would not let her go to sleepovers as a child.
“My mom tried to stop me from all of that but I still did it,” Cardi said of her teenage hobbies. “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.”
