According to a report published by The Blast (the website started by the a TMZ vet) Nicki Minaj sent Cardi B a gift basket worth $5,000 after the birth of Cardi’s daughter Kulture, the best-named celebrity baby name we’ve had in years. But what is $5,000 to someone Google says is worth $75 million? Pocket change? A casual evening out? Last year she gave over $18,000 to strangers! So here’s what I’m getting at: was this gift shade?
This is not a question for me, as I am not certified like my former colleague Judge Kara Brown, but it is a question you can all ponder while I share details of the gift basket. Per The Blast:
Sources at Petit Trésor in L.A. — which caters to the elite kiddos in town — tell The Blast Minaj just purchased a $5,000 gift basket for Cardi and Offset‘s new baby, Kulture Kiari Cephus. The basket was bought minutes after the birth announcement was made.
We’re told the requirements for the basket were to “make it as girly as possible,” and was stuffed with some of the store’s most sought-after products including luxury seasonal clothes, an assortment of dolls and stuffed animals and, of course, a sterling silver rattle.
Maybe it’s not shade at all! Maybe it’s just a nice, thoughtful gift from one artist to another. Let’s give them this one, shall we?
