Offset gave her 2-year-old daughter Kulture Cephus a pink Birkin bag as a late birthday present on Wednesday.
After he and his wife Cardi B celebrated the boy’s birthday with an over-the-top party last week, the rapper shared the moment he pulled out the lavish Hermes wallet in an Instagram video.
“Later is better than ever Birkin, my baby,” he wrote.
Kulture, dressed in a pink fairy costume along with a set of bunny ears, briefly held the bag before putting it back in the box.
The coveted designer bag retails for $ 8,000 and is a favorite with celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Jennifer Lopez.
Drake has even been collecting the bags for years as a future gift for “the woman I end up with,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
When people learned that Kulture received his first Birkin at just 2 years old, many were stunned, noting that the bag costs more than people’s monthly rent.

Others joked that the girl, who left the bag after holding it briefly, probably would have preferred receiving toys or candy for her birthday rather than a fancy bag.

Amid online criticism, Cardi B defended her husband’s gift.
“When celebrities buy their kids jewelry and designer s —, people say, ‘Kids don’t care about that. They only care about toys and candy.’ Yes, they only care about toys and candy, but children also go out. Children go to restaurants, children go to elegant places. Famous children go to make red carpets, “he said.
Cardi B continued: “If I fly and Dad flies, then so is the boy. If I am wearing Cha-nay-nay, my son has the same, you know what I say? It is not right. What they like to children. If they were children, they would be out in diapers. “
The rapper told fans that he would also be criticized if Kulture looked like a “riot” while dressing up as an “expensive face.”
“I’m not mad that Dad bought a Birkin baby,” she said. “She’s going to match mommy.”

The Birkin bag is not the first expensive gift Kulture has received. When she was 1, her mother bought her a diamond necklace featuring the characters from Netflix’s “Word Party”.
According to TMZ, the necklace was estimated to cost $ 100,000.
