Cardi B grabbed headlines after she bought a luxury Audemars Piguet timepiece worth nearly $500,000 just days after fans noticed tension between her and NFL star Stefon Diggs. Instead of staying silent about her personal life, the rapper focused on celebrating herself and preparing for her upcoming concert tour. Reports highlighted that she treated the purchase as a personal milestone rather than a reaction to online chatter.
In an Instagram Reel shared by celebrity jeweler Benny, Cardi proudly showed off the sparkling watch while dressed in a bold black outfit. She described the buy as motivation before stepping back onto the stage.
“A little gift for me from me,” the 33-year-old rapper announced in an Instagram Reel Benny posted Monday.
