Cardi B's New 'Money' Video Looks, Well, Like It Cost A Lot Of Money

As soon as Cardi B's cash not to be mistaken with Cardi B's cash Bag," dropped in late October, it was the initial taste of new music we heard from Cardi soon after her debut collection — one of our albums of the year, Invasion of Privacy — dropped in April. And immediately after trim ascended to utter rap stardom. And soon after trim given birth to her daughter, Kulture. It was a Event, plus it went hard.


Perhaps unsurprisingly then, the cash video is, likewise, a Event. The hugest, most memeable moment is Cardi breastfeeding what may actually be her daughter in a moment of power for working mothers. Case in point, breasts are all over this monumentally expensive-looking video, as is Cardi herself — in back of a glass case like a museum artifact, commanding a fleet of rather stylish girls, sitting naked at the piano.


Earlier this week, Cardi appeared in a new segment of James Corden's Carpool Karaoke, where the pair sang and danced to her massive hit "I Like It" at a senior center. "I just had a baby and this is how I lost weight," she says at one point, twisting her torso around to the music. The cash video, though, tells a different story, as her moves while in it must've accounted for at least 30 percent of Cardi's postnatal cardio regimen.


By the end, we've taken a detour to pay homage to Cardi's stripper days, with piles of money on the stage for full effect, and lingered on her angel-white pair of Beats headphones long enough to get some nice product placement. It's a hell of a ride.
