BRONX, NY – Move over, dance tutorials. There’s a new queen of the living-room floor, and she’s only seven years old.

On Sunday night, November 24, 2025, Cardi B quietly dropped the cutest video of the year on her Instagram Stories: her daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, dressed in a pastel-pink ruffled dress and tiny gold hoops, holding hands with her Dominican grandfather (Cardi’s dad, Mr. Carlos Almanzar) as he teaches her the classic merengue steps in their family living room.

The 38-second clip is pure sunshine:

Grandpa, rocking a crisp guayabera and his signature warm smile, counts “¡Un-dos-tres-cuatro!” in Spanish.
Kulture, all curls and confidence, nails the side-to-side hip sway and quick footwork on her first try.
When she adds her own little spin and hand flourish, Grandpa throws his head back laughing and yells, “¡Eso, mi reina! ¡Tú eres dominicana 100%!”
Cardi’s voice off-camera: “Y’all see this? My baby got the rhythm in her blood!”

The video instantly went nuclear: reposted by every major celebrity outlet, it racked up 45 million views in under 12 hours, with the caption “Kulture con su abuelo ❤️🇩🇴” now trending worldwide under #KultureMerengue and #DominicanPrincess.

Fans flooded the comments:

“She’s 7 going on 17 with those hips 😂🔥”
“Cardi said ‘culture over everything’ and meant it!”
“Grandpa’s face when she nailed it = my heart exploding”
“Future Bachata queen loading…”

Cardi later added a follow-up Story showing Kulture begging Grandpa for “one more song,” then attempting to teach him one of her own viral TikTok dances. His confused but proud two-step had the entire internet in tears of laughter.

This isn’t the first time Kulture’s Dominican roots have taken center stage. Cardi (real name Belcalis Almánzar Cephus) has always been vocal about raising her kids bilingual and connected to both her Dominican heritage and Offset’s Atlanta culture. From family trips to Santo Domingo to cooking mangú together on live, Cardi makes sure Kulture and little brother Wave know exactly where their fire comes from.

As one fan perfectly summed it up: “Cardi out here raising a whole princess who can merengue in designer and still say ‘bendición, abuelo.’ We stan a cultured queen.”

Kulture Kiari, you just broke the internet again… and Grandpa Carlos is officially the coolest abuelito of 2025.
