Rapper Cardi B has confirmed she is expecting her fourth child, putting an end to weeks of public speculation. The exciting announcement was made during a sit-down interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings. This will mark her first child with her boyfriend, Stefon Diggs, a wide receiver for the New England Patriots.

Cardi B expressed her enthusiasm and well-being, stating, “I’m excited, I’m happy. I feel like I’m in a good space.” She further added that she feels both “strong” and “confident” as she navigates the challenges of pregnancy while simultaneously preparing for the release of her new album, titled “Am I the Drama?”

The artist is already a mother to three children – Blossom, Kulture, and Wave – from her previous marriage to ex-husband Offset. She revealed that she and Diggs are offering mutual support throughout this journey. Cardi B humorously encouraged her fanbase to reciprocate support by purchasing her upcoming album, which she joked would help her procure necessary baby supplies like nappies.

Explaining her delay in sharing the news, Cardi B emphasized her desire to make the announcement “on my own terms.” At the time of the CBS Mornings interview, she had not yet informed her own parents, promising to do so before the segment aired. Looking ahead, the rapper is set to balance her preparations for motherhood with her professional commitments, including getting ready for her ‘Little Miss Drama’ tour, which is scheduled to commence in February.
