The25-year-old “Bodak Yellow” rapperkicked off the2018 VMAsat New York City’s Radio City Music Hall on Monday holding a bundle of pink blankets in her arms. At first, it appeared that her 5-week old daughterKulture Kiariwas wrapped up inside.
Of course, when she later unwrapped the blanket, it turned out Cardi was only holding a shiny Moon Person trophy. And while the audience quickly forgave her for the gag, Offset, 26, looked very serious when the camera cut to him before the reveal.
“Set said ‘I was sooo mad, when I saw you on stage with that blanket. I thought you was going to show Kulture,’ ” Cardi explained on Twitter after the show, with a multitude of crying and laughing emojis.
Cardi had a big night at the VMAs.
The Bronx rapper walked away with three trophies, including song of the summer (“I Like It”), collaboration (“Dinero,” withJennifer Lopezand DJ Khaled) and the coveted best new artist.
It was also the first public eventCardi has attended since welcoming Kulture.
