Cardi B is proving she is still the queen of keeping the internet on its toes. Just as the world was gearing up for the release of her long-awaited sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, the rap superstar pulled out another headline-grabbing announcement: she is pregnant with her fourth child. And if that wasn’t enough to make Twitter implode, she revealed the father is none other than New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
In fact, Offset is technically out of the picture, and Cardi is starting a new page with music, motherhood, and a healthy amount of controversy.
Big Reveal: Baby Before the Tour
Spoke with CBS News on Wednesday, Cardi confirmed that she is having a baby with Diggs. She is expecting their first child together. There’s a baby due right before her “Little Miss Drama” tour is scheduled to commence next February, and Cardi is not letting being pregnant hinder her grind.
“I feel like I’m in a good space,” she said. “I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work. But I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, and me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.”
She also credited Diggs with being able to give her stability: “He makes me safe and very confident and very strong, like you could take over the world.”
Unexpected Love Story Fans Never Expected
This is not just a celebrity baby reveal, it’s a Cardi-level drama. Cardi has been open about how she didn’t want to fall in love again after she ended things with Offset but Diggs flipped that mentality upside down with one bold promise: “Let me heal you. Give me a chance for me to heal you.”
But the love saga isn’t drama-free. Diggs has a child with a different woman just a few months back, so fans were skeptical about the timing. And let’s keep it real, Cardi is still technically married to Offset, albeit separated. Fans didn’t take much time to connect the dots and share their unfiltered opinions.
Social Media Goes Viral with Opinions
Twitter has made Cardi’s baby news into a soap opera. Check out just a few threads from some drama:
“So Cardi is literally still married, and having a baby with some guy she’s been with for less than a year? And that guy JUST had a baby with some other girl. Her mind is so twisted!”
“Cardi can do with her body and life what she likes. But you can’t make me think it’s a good idea to have had a baby with the rebound. Another ‘two things can be true at once’ scenario.”
“Get somebody to ease off squeezing those youngsters with those blasted corsets. It wasn’t hiding anything.” “IDK who that is but my male mutuals claim that he is not a good man.”
“Congratulations Cardi ???????????? she enjoys being a mom so I’m happy for her! And I’m also hearing people vent yap about a tour, stop talking. The baby is coming faster than that but even if it wasn’t she’s a grown ass woman.”
The lines are divided: some cheering Cardi’s right to love and motherhood, others side-eyeing the drama as if it’s next season’s Love & HIP Hop.
Cardi Being Cardi: Comedy, Drive, and Diapers
Cardi, being the wit that she is, received the news with a dash of humor and grind. She jokingly poked fun at getting fans a copy of Am I the Drama? tomorrow since she has to go get “Pampers and diapers and all that kind of things. She also admitted she has not yet confided in her people about being with child, saying she’s “scared of them” to signify even a multi-platinum Grammy winner has to answer to mom and dad.
