The star of Cardi B's haircare line is her mini-me.
The "AH HA" rapper shared a new Grow-Good Beauty ad featuring her 8-year-old daughter, Kulture, promoting the brand's Get Rich Hair Mask.
Dressed in pajamas with her hair styled in a roller set, Kulture opens the fridge and puts ingredients in a bowl.
"Okay, let's see. Where are the bananas? Here they are. And avocados, I need those for moisture. Oh, here's the rosemary," she said. "Okay, I think that's everything. Or you can just use Grow Good. Can we put this on my back-to-school list?"
Kulture, born in 2018, is one of three children Cardi B has with Migos rapper Offset. They have two other children: Wave, born in 2021, and Blossom, born in 2024. Her fourth child, whom she shares with NFL player Stefon Diggs, was born last year.

Mission Produce gets about 85% of revenue from avocados, and a price collapse is impacting sales.
A supply glut from Mexico, not weak demand, drove the pricing headwinds, but a recovery in prices is now expected.
Mission Produce absorbs price shocks better than headlines suggest, with fiscal Q1 gross margin expanding 190 basis points despite a 30% decline in prices.
Seasonality turns in Mission's favor in the second half, with a record Peruvian harvest and management issuing upbeat guidance.
Insiders and institutions are buying, including directors, the company's largest shareholder, and elite funds run by billionaires.

These days, Jason Mraz's connection to the land is more than a lyric.
Over the past two decades, he has helped transform a San Diego orchard into a regenerative farm whose produce now ships around the country.
About a decade after becoming Mraz Family Farms, the property now has a full-time staff and grows avocados, coffee beans, and passion fruit, according to Green Matters. Its avocados have also been supplied to Chipotle.
Mraz said he bought the land in 2004, and in 2015 it became Mraz Family Farms, which uses organic, fair trade, and regenerative practices.
"When I bought the property 20 years ago, I bought it from a man in his 80s, and he planted those trees probably in the mid '70s," Mraz said. "Now I'm 46; the trees I'm planting today will be about that same age when I'm in my 80s."

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The United States announced Wednesday that it had suspended all government operations in the Mexican state of Michoacan because of a "threat to U.S. interests," including a halt to the inspections of avocados required for their export.
While the U.S. Embassy did not specify the nature of the threat in its security alert, Michoacan Gov. Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla said on social media that the temporary halt to inspections was intended to safeguard workers following recent arrests linked to extortion. The inspections are necessary for avocados to be shipped to the United States and their suspension could disrupt exports.
The western state of Michoacan is the leading exporter of avocados to the U.S. and has a high level of organized crime activity with at least four cartels — designated as terrorist organizations by the Trump administration — operating in the region. Besides trafficking drugs, cartels also make money through extortion, including of the avocado industry.
Michoacan State Security Secretary Antonio Cruz told The **** ociated Press that one of the arrests mentioned by the governor was of "El Poncho," the alias of Alfonso Fernández Magallón, leader of a local cartel operating in the avocado-growing region around Los Reyes.
U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ronald Johnson welcomed the arrest, which came over the weekend. The U.S. government had offered a $5 million reward for Fernández Magallón's arrest.
