Cardi B Finally Showed Off Her $88K Purse, But Twitter Wasn't Impressed

Cardi B has finally shown off her infamous $88,000 purse. However, Twitter was not impressed.

After sparking backlash earlier this week when she asked her Twitter followers if she should spend "88k for this da*n purse," the "WAP" rapper returned to the social media platform with pictures of the controversial bag.

After a fan tweeted, "show us the da*n purse," Cardi responded by sharing screenshots of her new brown, shearling-lined Birkin bag. "This this !! This is the purse people crying about." she replied.

Like clockwork, haters descended with their critical opinions of the purse. "It ain't even that cute tho" one wrote, to which Cardi responded: "It’s not about being cute it’s about the value.In 3 years I can auction it for double."

On Sunday (December 6), the "WAP" rapper asked her 15.4 million Twitter followers: "Should I spend 88K for this damn purse ? Omggg it’s tempting 😩😩😩.." The question was met with tons of backlash as unemployment benefits are about to expire and Congress has yet to agree on a stimulus relief package amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

As critics and fans alike began condemning Cardi for her alleged "insensitive" tweet, the 28-year-old rapper responded by sharing fans' screenshots of her charitable work throughout the year that included donating one million dollars to coronavirus relief, donating 20,000 supplement meals to New York-area staff, and donating another million dollars to fans impacted by COVID-19.

"Also I got 7 uncles an 3 aunts on my daddy side,9 aunts and 3 uncles on my momma side a whole bunch of cousins I had to help cause of the pandemic," Cardi wrote. "If I want to splurge I can with out yall asking for hand outs like me and my husband don’t do so.Thank you."

Despite Cardi's mentioning of her charitable work, the backlash continued, leading her to announce a donation match challenge. "Okay let’s do this challenge! Since ya want to tell me to donate soo much ...Drop receipts on what YOU have donated too," she wrote. "I will match it and donate to a organization you have donate as well.LETS START NOW!" Cardi added, "Any charity or foundation drop your receipts Receipt under the comment I will match what you donated and match your donation to that same charity or foundation.Lets match energy."

After announcing her challenge, the "La Bebe" rapper continued to defend her initial purse tweet, writing "I never seen u tweet about me when I donated a million dollar twice now you here I didn’t offended no body, didn’t do nothing illegal .Im not going to apologize because I work my a** off and I ask MY FANS! Which ARE MY FRIENDS A QUESTION!Ya want to be hurt so bad."

Ultimately Cardi concluded her tweets by sharing a few more examples of her charitable work before announcing that she did, in fact, buy the bag. "Sooooooo......do ya want me to show ya the purse ?" she tweeted along with crying laughing emojis.
