Cardi B has hit back at online trolls who criticized the number of Hermés Birkin bags that she owns in a new Instagram video.

The rapper regularly posts about the bags which not only retail for upwards of $13,000 (£10,000) but have a long waiting list to purchase too.

The 28-year-old currently owns a number of the bags in various colors as well as four totes which she was gifted by her husband Offset.

However, some commentators online have slammed Cardi B as well as other rappers including Megan Thee Stallion and Saweetie for devaluing the bags.

A screenshot of an Instagram post calling the women out for their love of the bags went viral, the Independent reports.

"Birkins have literally lost their value," the caption read.

"The city girls and Cardi have got y'all convinced that these Birkin bags are easy to get. There's a certain number of Birkins that are made per year.

"There are billionaires who are spending months/years on a waiting list to just get one. These bags are supposed to be exclusive and you're supposed to be big in the fashion world and have relationships with these people to get one."

Now, Cardi B has hit back at the comment in a video posted to her Instagram page.

"I've been seeing this tweet right," the 28-year-old began.

"It had me and it had other female rappers on it. They were talking about if we could get Birkins from the Hermés store and they [were] also saying how we depreciate the value of a Hermés Birkin bag. I find that really interesting because, first thing first, I definitely could get a bag. Actually, I got four bags today from the Hermés store."

The rapper then slammed those who were questioning whether or not Black or Hispanic women "could get a bag from the Hermés store" because "y'all don't do this to these white celebrities".

"So why is it that y'all gotta be asking us? What the f***? It just makes you want to brag like, 'Bitch do you know who the f*** you're talking to?' But no, I'm not even going to take it there," she said.

"Another thing is that they're saying we're depreciating the value," she continued. "Actually, we add value because when we mention brands in hip-hop, s*** go up."

The rapper then mentioned her hit single 'Bodak Yellow' which mentioned designer Christian Louboutin.

"When 'Bodak Yellow' came out you could actually Google that their sales went up 1000 percent," she said.

"When y'all say that we devalue s***, no we actually add value."

Cardi B's husband Offset has shared the eye-watering receipt for the rapper's bags after a troll suggested her popularisation of them was "devaluing" Birkins.

"Stop letting people on the internet tell y'all who can get a Birkin at the store, and how many Birkin’s you can get," he said on Instagram.

"Black people having access to luxury shouldn't be a debate. By the way hip-hop starts the trends!" he added.

Then, on his Instagram story, Offset shared what is likely Cardi B's Hermés store receipt.

Offset's comments come after a screenshot of an individual saying that Birkin's have lost their value because of their popularity with rappers like Cardi B went viral at the weekend, the Independent reports.

"Birkins have literally lost their value," the caption read.

"The city girls and Cardi have got y'all convinced that these Birkin bags are easy to get. There's a certain number of Birkins that are made per year.

"There are billionaires who are spending months/years on a waiting list to just get one. These bags are supposed to be exclusive and you're supposed to be big in the fashion world and have relationships with these people to get one."

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/yoncerdi/status/1319973469212258307]]

However, as per Buzzfeed, Cardi was quick to tell her fans that they don't have to have such pricey bags to be as awesome as her.

"Let me tell you something: if you're a regular girl you don't gotta break your neck to have a Birkin. A Birkin doesn't make you,” the 'WAP' rapper said.

"So don't ever feel like you gotta compare yourself," she continued. "Don't compare yourself to nobody [on] the internet. This internet sh*t is fake... You still a bad f**king b*tch. Period."

Cardi also responded to the troll's slamming of her bags in an Instagram video where she, like Offset, said that the only reason she was being criticized was because of the color of her skin.

"I've been seeing this tweet right," the 28-year-old began.

"It had me and it had other female rappers on it. They were talking about if we could get Birkins from the Hermés store and they [were] also saying how we depreciate the value of a Hermés Birkin bag. I find that really interesting because, first thing first, I definitely could get a bag. Actually, I got four bags today from the Hermés store."

The rapper then slammed those who were questioning whether or not Black or Hispanic women "could get a bag from the Hermés store" because "y'all don't do this to these white celebrities".

"So why is it that y'all gotta be asking us? What the f***? It just makes you want to brag like, 'Bitch do you know who the f*** you're talking to?' But no, I'm not even going to take it there," she said.

"Another thing is that they're saying we're depreciating the value," she continued. "Actually, we add value because when we mention brands in hip-hop, s*** go up."

Drake has showcased a new diamond necklace made entirely from engagement rings that he never proposed with - and there are a fair few of 'em on there.

The 36-year-old self-proclaimed Certified Lover Boy was seen donning an eye-catching piece of jewelry while performing at the Lil Baby & Friends Birthday Celebration Concert on December 9, per TMZ.

The piece, entitled "Previous Engagements" has been made to honor "all the times he thought about it but never did" and was made by luxury New York-based jeweler Alex Moss.

The extravagant piece is set in 18K white gold and features a staggering 351.38 carats in diamonds. The jeweler posted a video on their Instagram page showing the new piece, and described it as "a true wonder of the jewelry world".

Check out the diamond necklace below:

In the video of the necklace shining in all its glory, the narrator says: "Bordering the impossible, an expedition spanning 14 months, every diamond hand selected, inspected to only suit perfection.

"This monumental art piece was assembled using 351.38 carats of diamonds mounted in 18k white gold, each stone meticulously set utilizing the eagle claw technique," they continued. "Previous Engagements, for all the times he thought about it but never did."

While Drake - whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham - has not yet commented on the necklace or given any hint as to whom he considered popping the question to, fans are sharing their hilarious responses on social media.

One user jested: "Drake having a 42 diamond necklace for the 42 times he’s wanted to propose is crazy I don’t think I’ve even had 42 conversations I've enjoyed in my life much less people much less loves." (sic)

Another person chimed in and said: "People are worried about Pete Davidson meanwhile Drake is out here considering proposing to the cashier at JC Penney."

A third user commented: "42 times??? in 36 years???? maybe love not for everyone."

While, a fourth user shared: "Love his music but c'mon, Drizzy, lol. 42 women, bro how do you have enough time to make that sort of connection with 42 women in like 10-15 years? The necklace is Fuego tho."

Over the years, the Hotline Bling star - who is a father to five-year-old Adonis with French model Sophie Brussaux - has been romantically linked with Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, and Serena Williams among others.

His extensive dating history was spotlighted on a recent Saturday Night Live episode, hosted by Keke Palmer, in a sketch called 'The United Tingz Of Aubrey'.

Regardless, the record-breaking star has never been ashamed of mentioning his exes and former lovers in his music. In his feature on 21 Savage's song titled 'Mr. Right Now' with Metro Boomin, Drake revealed that he dated singer SZA in 2008.

The R&B musician also confirmed their previous relationship in a recent interview with Audacy’s Check-In podcast and said that the pair have always been "cool," and disclosed that he let her know about the new song before it dropped.

Nevertheless, the 'One Dance' hitmaker is currently believed to be single. Let's hope his next relationship works out so he doesn't have to add another ring to his diamond necklace.

As one of the most successful rappers in the game, Drake could spend his money on pretty much anything - another Lamborghini, a yacht, Canada. (I assume by now he's made enough money to buy the entire country of Canada.) But instead, he's on his 'best behavior,' and spent the day giving away more than $175,000 to strangers all over Miami, Florida. Now he's got real people showing him real love - 'straight up to his face!' Drake's giving spree began at Miami Senior High School, where he presented a $25,000 donation and OVO-designed uniforms for all the students. Now they can look just as fresh as his character did on DeGrassi. One lucky student who was accepted at the University of Miami received an additional present: a $50,000 check toward her tuition. "Drake told me that he has read great things about me and appreciates how hard I've worked through so many trials," she wrote on Instagram. "THANK YOU SO MUCH!! You don't understand what this means to me!" As far as days at school go, that must have been the 'best she ever had.' [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Be1elkkhJg8/]] After helping out the kids, 'Champagne Papi' surprised shoppers at the Sabor Tropical Supermarket by paying for their groceries. (Thank him later.) Reportedly Drake dropped more than $50,000 at the store, and customers freaked out, posting selfies on social media. "A real king [went] out and paid for everyone's groceries in the store, all the while encouraging people to buy more lol," wrote one of them on Instagram. "BE GOOD AND IT'LL COME RIGHT BACK AROUND!!!" (If you live in the area and are still hoping to get some free groceries, sorry. 'If you're reading this, it's too late.') [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Be35VkJg9-a/]] [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Be30eV5n76X/]] And finally, Aubrey Graham's kindness continued with a generous $50,000 donation to the Lotos House Shelter. The organization provides sanctuary, shelter and support to homeless women and children in Miami. Recently they opened a new shelter with 500 beds, and the money will go towards funding it. In addition to the huge check, he gave toys and games away to 140 kids and $150 Target gift cards to 130 women. He 'started from the bottom' and never forgot where he came from. A camera crew followed Drake around on his giving spree, capturing everyone's surprised and grateful reactions. The footage will be used in the music video for "God's Plan," a brand new single he dropped last week (and is really good). No word yet on when the music video comes out, but I'm sure it will make 'headlines.' (Okay, that's the last pun on his song titles, I promise.) In the song "God's Plan," Drake talks about how some people - haters, if you will - wish bad things upon him, and want him to fail. But he keeps succeeding, because God won't let him fail, and it's all part of a greater plan. We all struggle sometimes, and today the '6 God' made a positive impact on many people's lives. In related news, Drake called a man for groping women at his show and threatened him...

Ever since she shot to fame back in 2005 with Pon de Replay, Rihanna has been one of the most eligible bachelorettes on the planet - and why shouldn't she be? She's insanely talented, incredibly beautiful, and - most importantly - single. Well, single-ish.

The Barbadian-born singer has been in a relationship with Hassan Jameel, a Saudi Arabian billionaire, for a couple of years now. However, the two have always kept their business out of the spotlight. Naturally, then, Riri's fans always go wild with speculation. Are they still together? Have they got engaged? Are they planning on starting a family?

Up until recently, these were all questions that we had absolutely no answer to - but, ever since Rihanna liked a post on Instagram, fans believe she's dropped a hint about what's going on with her and Jameel.

Earlier this week, Riri liked a video posted by the account "celebsloverhi", in which a reporter gave her predictions on how Rihanna's love life would go over the next year or two.

"Do I think Rihanna’s worthy of someone worth a billion dollars? Yes, I do. Is he worthy of her is the question that’s on everyone’s mind," the reporter began.

"If I was a betting woman and I had to give my opinion on this, I would think that Rihanna’s going to go the long haul with this guy ... I see an engagement and possibly a baby with this guy. Not yet 'cause she wants to smoke a cigarette once in a while but I definitely see an engagement and then baby in two years."

Here is the video in question that has sent fans wild:

[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/AyBeKtg0-sKUnNGKf.mp4||AyBeKtg0]]

So, of course, fans got a bit carried away with what this one little "like" could mean.

"I love how low key she is about her love life, hell for all we know she could already be engaged," wrote one fan.

"I’m happy she found someone who brings her happiness. Baby been glowing and sh**," said another.

Other people, however, had a bit more sense.

"Yall literally made her "liking" a video into something big??social media has everyones minds warped," said one person.

"Or she could just be agreeing with the quote 'is he worthy of her?' Lol," someone else pointed out.

Since this news went viral, Rihanna has unliked the post - but we still have the receipts. And it's not as if this was the first time that rumours about Riri getting engaged have been rippling around the internet. Not long after she started dating Jameel, a picture of her wearing a ring had everyone believing that he had popped the question already.

Needless to say, there's no hard evidence that Rihanna has decided to settle down just yet - but, who knows, it could be on the cards for the near future. Since this news went viral, Rihanna has unliked the post - but we still have the receipts.
