Cardi B is making it clear that she doesn’t have beef with Coach after seemingly dissing the brand in her “Like What (Freestyle).” To prove that there’s no bad blood, the Bronx rapper bought a new Coach bag on Tuesday (March 5).
“Come with me to buy a Coach bag,” Cardi captioned a TikTok video of her on the way to Coach while carrying a pink Burkin bag, which she gave a playful thumbs down before hopping in the car and heading to Coach.
After looking through a few options, Cardi settled on a yellow quilted Coach Tabby Shoulder Bag.
The Tabby Shoulder Bag is one of Coach’s best-rated bags, with 4.7 stars and hundreds of reviews on the brand’s website. From hardware to design, there’s something about the Tabby bag that keeps shoppers coming back.
Coach’s Tabby bag is a modernized version of a design from the 1970s. The bag is available in 20, 26 or 33 inches, and made from soft, napa leather with chain straps that you can adjust to wear it as a shoulder bag or handbag. The Tabby Shoulder Bag retails for $295 and up, and it’s available in several colors, including black, pink, brown and silver. The quilted Tabby comes in yellow, pink, black, white and lip print ($450).
Cardi had the internet in an uproar after taking a soft shot a Coach on “Like What.” (In the song’s chorus, she raps, “Like a Coach bag, baby, this ain’t what you want.”) She later explained that the lyric was inspired by a 2011 Cam’Ron track.
Coach came to Cardi’s defense amid the controversy. “We love Cardi,” the brand posted on X on March 2, to which Cardi replied “Love ya” with a heart emoji.
