Cardi B is known for having an expensive taste, and it looks like Latto knows it too as she’s gifted her “Put It Da Floor” collaborator with a pricey token of appreciation. Taking to Twitter on Thursday (June 29), Bardi showed off a $5,000 Chanel bag that the “Big Energy” hitmaker sent her. “This purse tho [shocked face and blue heart emojis] ….. Thanks, @Latto,” Cardi wrote.
Latto, seemingly proud of her good taste in gifts, retweeted the post while telling Cardi B: “Love u Big Bardiiiii.”

While the new song serves as the first official collab between Latto and Cardi B, the pair have always had mutual respect for each other, with Latto once citing an old Cardi performance as the sole inspiration behind her live shows.
“I did Rolling Loud Miami in 2018-ish…I was one of the openers,” Latto said in a 2022 interview with Audacy. “It was 3 p.m. hot as hell and I waited for all the way to the end for Cardi B to perform and I stuck around in the hot sun and I was like, ‘Nah, I gotta see Cardi perform,’ and I saw her like put on a show. Like, it was actual entertainment. Dancers, choreography.”
She continued: “She really had me entertained to where I wasn’t caring about the heat or standing on my feet all day. I was entertained. So I took that and ran with it like, ‘You know what? I wanna put on a show too.’”
The cost of Bardi’s new bag is half the price she paid for the video to her 2017 breakout single, “Bodak Yellow,” as she recently revealed.
Along with a screenshot of the music video – which features her in Dubai, riding camels through the desert and hanging out with lions – the Bronx native revealed some little-known information on Twitter earlier this month.
“Fun fact: I spend ten thousand dollars on the Bodak yellow music video,” Cardi told fans.
The apparently low-budget music video crossed the billion-view mark on YouTube in 2021, which was the quickest to reach the benchmark by a female rapper ever. It also made Cardi B the first female rapper to have two videos on her YouTube channel with more than one billion views, joining her 2018 single, “I Like It.”
Around the same time as the YouTube accolade, “Bodak Yellow” became the first diamond-certified single ever by a female rapper.
