Cardi B & Offset Weigh In On Birkin Debate After Spending $128K On Bags
It’s crazy that, after a restful weekend, the internet is still debating about Hermès Birkin Bags…
The debate began after Saweetie and Quavo delivered a public service announcement, telling women to dump their men if they weren’t copping them Birkin bags. The comments were not received well. Birkins, which usually go for over $15,000, are not very affordable. For some, that’s money that should be going toward investments, a down payment for a house, a retirement fund, and more. Those that can afford the luxurious purse should buy it, by all means, but to imply that a man isn’t worth your time if he’s not copping one? Eh…
The two most recent people to get involved in the all-important argument are Cardi B and Offset. Both being well-versed in all things Birkin, like Yaya Mayweather who chimed in over the weekend, Offset got his wallet out and spent over $100K on new bags for his wife. They both went online and told people to stop pocket-watching, speaking about the significance of the Birkin.
“Stop letting people on the internet tell ya’ll who can get a Birkin at the store, and how many Birkin’s you can get,” wrote Offset on Instagram. The picture he shared shows them both with their haul of the day, showing off the four new bags. “Black people having access to luxury shouldn’t be a debate…by the way hip hop starts the trends,” he continued.
Cardi B ran off on what he was saying, recording a three-minute video where she speaks to those who say that women in rap are depreciating the value of the purse. She explains that the people speaking about her and her Birkin bags don’t keep that same energy with white celebrities.
Her message was a response to a viral tweet, showing her, Saweetie, and other women in rap, arguing that they are lessening the value of a Birkin.
“First things first, I definitely could get a bag– actually I got four bags today from the Hermès store. That’s one. I don’t wanna brag but it’s like, don’t even try it,” says Cardi. “Second of all, why is it that y’all asking female rappers if they can get a bag from the Hermès store. Y’all don’t do that to these white celebrities. So, why is it that y’all gotta be asking us? What the f*ck?”
Where do you stand on the Birkin debate of 2020?

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”
Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.
“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.
But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
