Cardi B has been one of the most popular rappers in the world for several years. Since her breakout song, “Bodak Yellow,” debuted in 2017, Cardi B has been unstoppable, climbing the charts and making headlines for her unapologetic, outspoken attitude. These days, Cardi B is not only a chart-topping musician and businesswoman but also a mother. Recently, the rapper welcomed her second child with her husband, Offset. And after receiving comments questioning how she changes the baby’s diapers with such long nails, Cardi B took to social media to film a hilarious tutorial.

Cardi B has long been hailed a fashion icon — equally at home in sweatpants and designer gowns. Since she burst onto the scene, the music artist has partnered with several fashion brands, including Fashion Nova, Reebok, and Steve Madden.

She can always be counted on to bring her unique sense of self-expression to any partnership, and many fans are eager to buy whatever she sells.

Along with her clothing and fashion choices, Cardi B is known for her long, embellished fingernails. The rapper has admitted that she turns to New York manicurist Jenny Bui to perfect her gem-studded, brightly colored nails and that it can take up to three hours to get her nails done.

Though most fans love her unique look, a few have questioned how Cardi B can handle everyday mom duties with such extravagant nails.

Cardi B recently posted a diaper-changing tutorial

Recently, one of Cardi B’s followers posed a query to her on Twitter: “Aye Bardi how the hell u change wav diaper with the nails? Lol i got on press ons struggling.”

Cardi B responded with a full-fledged tutorial: a two-minute home video she made using a teddy bear in place of her 8-month-old son, Wave.

The rapper captioned her video response, “Okay girl sooo I just made a whole video. Trust me you will get the hang of it! However I do feel like boys are harder to clean, they got more crevices.”

Cardi B went step-by-step through the diaper-changing process, demonstrating how she uses baby wipes and fastens the onesie afterward — all while using the bear to provide a helpful illustration for her followers.

The rapper’s daughter, Kulture, was also on hand, providing hilarious commentary. At one point, the toddler even asked her mother, “Why are you doing that to the bear?”

Cardi B never let her long nails slow her down during the diaper-changing demo, proving she’s a pro at taking care of her kids.

“You know I have two kids, so I could do it probably a little faster — maybe because I’ve been wearing nails this long since I was 19!” Cardi B said in the video as she snapped the tiny onesie on the bear. 

These days, Cardi B is busier than ever, taking care of her two young children and working on projects, including taking over as a creative director in residence for Playboy magazine.

According to People, Cardi B is a longtime devotee of the brand and admitted not long after the announcement in December 2021 that the new project is a “dream” for her.
