Cardi B Confirms Fourth Pregnancy and New Album Plans on CBS

Cardi B has announced that she is expecting her fourth child during an exclusive interview on CBS Mornings. The Grammy-winning rapper confirmed that her partner is Stefon Diggs, a wide receiver for the New England Patriots. This revelation comes after weeks of speculation regarding her personal life.

The baby is due before the launch of Cardi B’s first arena tour, titled Little Miss Drama, which is set to begin in February 2024. In the interview, Cardi expressed her feelings of excitement and happiness while balancing her music career with motherhood. “I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work,” she shared.

Support and Stability Amidst Challenges

As Cardi prepares for her upcoming album, Am I The Drama?, which will be released on September 19, 2024, she noted the importance of Diggs’ support. “He just makes me feel safe and very confident and very strong,” she said. The rapper recalled a recent moment of vulnerability when she experienced a panic attack, feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of her career and public scrutiny.

She elaborated on the emotional toll of harsh criticism, admitting that it sometimes makes her hesitant to release new music. “It’s like, this is my art and this is something that I put a lot of love and time into… when people just rip it apart, it just hurts you and it crushes you,” Cardi stated. Despite these challenges, she emphasized that Diggs’ encouragement helps her maintain her confidence.

Cardi B also revealed that she chose to wait before announcing her pregnancy until she secured some professional commitments. “I haven’t even told my parents yet,” she joked, adding that she feels “scared of them.”

New Chapter in Love and Career

The rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, shared her initial reluctance to fall in love again following her high-profile divorce from rapper Offset. However, she recounted Diggs’ words: “Let me heal you. Give me a chance for me to heal you.” This relationship has proven to be a source of stability as she embarks on this new chapter of her life.

In her typically humorous style, Cardi encouraged her fans to support her upcoming album, humorously mentioning her need for funds to purchase baby supplies: “Now y’all could buy my album so I can buy Pampers and diapers and all that type of stuff.”

She described her new album as feeling “complete,” saying it touches on every aspect she wished to explore. “I just feel like it’s something that is not out there right now,” she added.
