Cardi B Rejected $100K Offers For First Baby Photo: Report

Rapper Cardi B, who gave birth to a baby girl on July 10, is already receiving offers from multiple media houses for the rights to the first photo of her daughter.

According to TMZ, Cardi B has received offers of $100,000 and more for the first picture of Kulture Kiari Cephus — her daughter — from magazines, entertainment websites and photo agencies. However, according to sources, neither Cardi B, nor her husband Offset are interested in making a deal just yet.

Both the rapper as well as the hip hop artist have reportedly rejected the offers in order to uphold the privacy of their child. Even when they announced the birth of the child on social media, they did it by posting a picture of a naked Cardi B sitting on a white chair and showing off her increasingly bulging baby bump, surrounded by an array of flowers.

The report added that Cardi B refused to even consider releasing her baby's photos till her daughter was at least five or six months old.

Cardi B recently took to Instagram to explain her reduced presence on social media. She uploaded a parody video made of her and Offset adjusting to parenthood, with the following caption:

“Thank you everybody for the congrats we really apreciated ❤ ️ .Thank you to family and friends that’s been hitting me up checking on me .It’s been a little hard for me to reply back cause this mommy job requires full day, all day, all night attention .I love you guys .Thanking all my fans as well for the love and support .I love you guys !”

Cardi B also sympathized with first time mothers, who were beginning to discover how difficult raising a child was. “When parents say 'if you wake the baby up YOU PUTTING HER BACK TO SLEEP!' I feel that,” the rapper tweeted.

However, the rapper’s wish to respect the privacy of the child only helped fuel the anticipation of her fans. In response to the Instagram post, one fan wrote “Can’t wait to see the baby!” while another replied to her recent tweet, “We want to see the princess of rap’s daughter.”

After the reveal of her daughter’s name, Cardi B’s fans were really excited to decode the inspiration behind the moniker. During a May appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Cardi B revealed it was Offset who came up with their baby’s name. “My dude named the baby. I really like the name,” she told the host.

As it turns out, the newborn’s name, Kulture, appears to be a tribute to Offset’s albums “Culture” and “Culture II” with his group Migos. Meanwhile, her middle name, Kiari pays homage to her father’s given name — Kiari Kendrell Cephus.

While Kulture Kiari Cephus is the first child for Cardi B, the baby girl’s arrival now makes Offset a father of four children. The rapper also has two sons, Jordan and Kody, and a daughter, Kalea.
