Cardi B has chosen a unique way to celebrate the birth of her fourth child—by transforming a piece of her baby’s umbilical cord into a gold-chrome keepsake.
The 33-year-old rapper, who recently welcomed her first child with boyfriend Stefon Diggs, partnered with a company that specialises in preserving birth materials. According to the company’s website, the custom piece features the newborn’s umbilical cord dehydrated into the shape of a heart before being coated in gold chrome.
A video shared by the business shows the intricate process of shaping and preparing the special memento. The company also revealed that Cardi B opted for an additional keepsake: a placenta print, another service they offer.
While the gold-dipped cord costs $50, the company’s premium $500 Placenta Encapsulation Service converts a mother’s placenta into consumable pills—a trend that has gained popularity among some celebrity mothers.
Cardi Bsentimental choice adds to the growing list of unconventional ways new parents commemorate childbirth, and the videos shared online have quickly captured fan attention.
