The doting mom of four is always pushing her children to achieve more. During her appearance on Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast in October 2025, Cardi opened up about raising her children to be "better than me." She said that she doesn't want her kids to be perfect, but she wants them to be a "100 times better version" of her.
"It's discipline. It's gotta be in you, and you have to be better than me. I want you to be better than me," she said. "There's things that I cannot do that I want my kids to do."
"I want you to be smarter than me," she added. "I want you to be — not perfect because you cannot make your kids perfect and you don't want you to put pressure on your kids [to be] perfect — but I want you to be a 100 times better version than me, and I'm gonna [instill] that in you and you're gonna be mad and you're gonna be crying, but you're gonna appreciate that one day because I wish the things that that I put on my kids that somebody put in me when I was younger."
Back in November, Cardi B welcomed a son, whose name hasn't been revealed to the public, with her ex-boyfriend, NFL player Stefon Diggs. She previously welcomed Kulture, son Wave, 4, and daughter Blossom Belle, 18 months, with estranged husband Offset.
During an episode from season 4 of the Jennifer Hudson Show in September 2025, the doting mom jokingly shared why she'd be open to welcoming more children in the future.
"It's like the more kids you have, the less of a possibility you go to a home," she said. "One of them is going to wipe my butt."

Elsewhere in the conversation, Cardi told host Jennifer Hudson that she makes sure to expose her children to realities outside of their own.
"They have a lot of cousins and a lot of my friends. They still outside. They still in the hood and everything," she said, referring to her family members. "They was just in the Dominican Republic and it's like, 'Yeah. My grandma's going to make you clean and stuff.'"
"I want them to know that it's like there's another world out there that's not your world," she added. "It's not always about backyard and foxes and deer. There's rats and mice."
The mother of three added that although her children are growing up a different way than she did, they are still very well-rounded individuals.
"My kids, they really enjoy going to like, I guess, the hood," she shared. "They love going to their cousin's house. They love going to my dad's house and stuff like that. They're very well-rounded, [and] I love that."
