Cardi B is pregnant with her fourth child!
The Grammy-winning rapper confirmed that she’s having a baby with her boyfriend, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
“I feel like I’m in a good space, and I feel very strong,” Cardi explained. 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 said on CBS Mornings with Gayle King.
Cardi B said she and Diggs are determined to be “the greatest” in their fields. She also praised Diggs for supporting her in making her next album, “Am I The Drama?,
“And he just makes me feel safe and very confident and very strong,” Cardi B said. “I mean, like, two weeks ago I was literally having a panic attack. I was, like, crying and crying and crying, just because I was just getting really nervous with you know, the whole album rollout.”
People were coming at me very hard. You know, sometimes people love you, people hate you. And people was just saying very mean things about me.”
Cardi B also admitted that “harsh criticism sometimes makes her question releasing music.”
“And I’m like, see, this is why I don’t put music out, because it’s like, this is my art and this is something that I put a lotta love and time to. And it’s just like, sometimes, when people just rip it apart it just hurts you and it crushes you,” she said.
Cardi B said Diggs’ support “keeps her steady” as she evolves.
“He makes me feel very confident. And it makes you feel like you could take over the world.”
Cardi B’s highly anticipated sophomore album, Am I the Drama? drops on Sept. 19. The LP features Janet Jackson, Selena Gomez, Megan Thee Stallion, Summer Walker, Lizzo, Kehlani, Cash Cobain, and Tyla.
