Animal rights group PETA is criticizing Offset for presenting his wife, Cardi B, with lavish Hermes Birkin bags.
In a statement provided to RadarOnline, the organization criticized the rapper for allegedly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on crocodile-skin Birkin bags as gifts for his wife on her 31st birthday.
“Instead of using his wealth and influence for good. Offset chose to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars into a gruesome, violent industry that electroshocks crocodiles, shoves metal rods into their heads in an attempt to scramble their brains, and mutilates them while they’re still alive,” PETA Vice President Lisa Lange said.
She continued, “PETA reminds everyone that people who still spend their money on a closet full of dead animals’ body parts either are clueless or simply don’t care about the extreme cruelty they’re perpetuating — it’s just not worth it.”
Earlier this week, Cardi B turned to Instagram to showcase her birthday celebration, sharing a series of photos that featured her in a stunning red floor-length gown with lace inserts. The images depicted the rapper posing against a backdrop of rose petals and balloons. In another post, the Bronx artist posted a video clip where she was met by a staircase embellished with red rose petals, leading her to a room where three Birkin bags were waiting for her.
