Cardi B has a mini-me.

On Tuesday, the “I Like It” rapper, 31, shared a few photos on her Instagram of her two kids, including one of daughter Kulture, 5, side-by-side with a picture of a younger Cardi.

Rocking a pink, fur-trimmed jacket, Kulture strikes a pose, mirroring a photo of her mom’s younger self. In the throwback pic, Cardi wears a similar pink, fur-trimmed jacket and has her hands on her hips, smiling for the camera.

The mom of two also shared a picture of son Wave, 2, who wears a white T-shirt and sweats, reaching up a hand as his mom takes his picture.

Cardi shares her two kids with her estranged husband Offset, 31, whom she announced she was separated from earlier this week.

The rapper got candid on Instagram Live over the weekend as she admitted, “I’ve been single for a minute now,” according to a recording of the livestream shared on X (formerly known as Twitter).

She continued, “But I have been afraid… Not afraid, I just don’t know how to tell the world. But I feel like today has been, like, a sign.”

Cardi said she wants to start the new year “fresh” and “open,” as she admitted, “I’m curious for a new life, for a new beginning. And yeah… I’m excited.”

In November, the singer shared a few photos to her Instagram after Wave spilled his snack all over the floor. Sitting on the ground amongst the strewn food, Cardi told her son that he had to clean up his mess.

Another photo showed Wave sitting on a staircase, making an angry face while his mom snapped a picture. “Y’all he mad at me 😂😂😂😂😅😅😅,” she wrote across the hilarious photo.

In September, Cardi shared an adorable video on her Instagram Story asking her toddler how old he was turning this year.

In the short clip, Wave was seen making funny faces at the camera and sticking out his tongue as he nestled against his mom’s chest on a couch. Cardi then asked him, “How old are you gonna be, Wave?”

The little boy responded excitedly with a smile, “Two!” as he also held up one finger on his left hand. “Two!” his mom echoed with a laugh.
