Popular rapper, Cardi B has confirmed she is pregnant. The rising rapper made this known a day after releasing one of the anticipated rap debut albums.
The talented 25-year-old star showed off an unequivocal baby bump as she appeared on weekly comedy show “Saturday Night Live,” becoming a top trending item on social media.
In a playful confirmation, Cardi B mounted the stage twice on “Saturday Night Live,” first concealing her body with a fulsome feather boa as she performed her breakout single “Bodak Yellow.”
When she returned to rap “Be Careful,” a track off her debut album “Invasion of Privacy” that came out Friday, Cardi B donned a body-hugging white dress and smiled knowingly as the lights shone on her bulging belly.
The rapper is engaged to Offset of rap trio Migos, who shortly after his fiancee’s television appearance confirmed the pregnancy on Instagram, writing, “We feel so blessed.”
The gossip site TMZ earlier reported that Cardi B is due to give birth in early July.
