Cardi B under fire for saying men are obligated to spend more money on Valentine’s Day gifts than women: ‘If he buys you flowers you buy him grass’
Cardi B believes in a strict code of etiquette when it comes to Valentine’s Day gifts.
The 28-year-old rapper said she expects to be lavishly spoiled by her man Offset on the romantic holiday, adding that as a rule of thumb, mens’ gifts ‘have to be less expensive then the girls gift.’
Taking to social media to continue to voice her opinions on what she sees fit for the holiday, she fired off a series of tweets before flaunting the beginning of her presents with a video of Chanel boxes.

‘Buy him grass’: The WAP hitmaker continued to elaborate after her initial tweet, seeming unfazed by the backlash she received from men that implied they should break their bank account
Never one to hold back when it comes to how she lives her life, she began her rant on Thursday as she wrote: ‘Men do deserve to get gift as well for Valentine’s Day, but the gift have to be less expensive then the girls gift. Soo if he buys you flowers you buy him grass.’
After she was met with backlash from her followers – mostly men – she continued to call things between she and Offset ‘even,’ as she listed off the monetary values of various possessions they had exchanged throughout the course of their relationship.
‘Ok so due to my Vday tweet men came on my twitter roasting me sayin “but you bought your man a lambo,” but remember…I got 550K ring on my left hand, 400k ring on my right, Thousands of dollars In Birkins, soo much jewelry, a lambo truck and rollsRoyce truck..so we even in gifts.’

Some Twitter users were quick to call the statements ‘toxic’ and ‘sexist,’ while others got a kick out of her words.
Others tried to say that the lavish gifts she was always receiving were reparations for all the cheating he did, though she admittedly splashed out $500K on a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ for his 29th birthday.
