Global music sensation Cardi B has offered fans a tantalising hint about the name of her newborn son, shortly after welcoming her fourth child and her first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs.
A New Chapter and a 'Cute' Name
The 33-year-old rapper, who announced the birth on Instagram a day prior, playfully addressed the baby's name during an interview at the CYBEX Global boutique opening in New York City on Thursday. In a clip shared by Highsnobiety, the Bodak Yellow hitmaker confirmed the baby is a boy. 'I'm not sharing the name yet,' she stated, before teasing admirers with the promising description, 'It's cute.'
Cardi B, who shares her three older children—seven-year-old Kulture, four-year-old Wave, and one-year-old Blossom—with her former husband Offset, opened up about her recovery and the challenges of her latest pregnancy. She expressed that she was 'feeling a little better' and revealed she had been on bed rest, noting, 'You know, I was a little bit on bed rest because that baby - oh. That baby was heavy.'
Motherhood, Style, and Strength
When questioned about how motherhood has influenced her personal style, the star laughed and remarked, 'I dress like - when was the last time I ain't had a kid? Before I was 25.' Beyond fashion, she shared the powerful lesson she hopes to impart to her children: the importance of self-advocacy.
'I will stand up for myself,' she asserted. 'Sometimes people be like, 'Oh no avoid it.' No, I will stand up for myself. Then my kids can see that they mama ain't no punk.'
Her appearance at the event was a fashionable affair, where she donned a striking black puffer ensemble with a corset and a cap perched atop her blue-green hair, complete with a large black bow.
Embracing a 'Me vs. Me' Era
In a heartfelt Instagram post also shared on Thursday, Cardi B formally confirmed the birth and reflected on this significant new phase in her life. She described her life as a series of chapters and seasons, with this one marking a fresh start.
'Starting over is never easy but it's been so worth it!' she penned. The star revealed she is already preparing for her upcoming 'Little Miss Drama Tour', set to commence on February 11 next year in Palm Desert, California, by 'getting my body right getting my mind right.'
She concluded with a powerful message of self-love and determination: 'I've learned i've healed, and im loving the woman i've become! Thats what this next era means to me and i'm stepping into it better than ever.'
The rapper first publicly announced her pregnancy and relationship with Stefon Diggs, a wide receiver for the New England Patriots, during a September interview on CBS Mornings. She gushed about their supportive dynamic, stating, 'Me and my man are very supportive of each other.' She added that Diggs makes her feel 'safe and very confident and very strong.' Diggs is also a father to an eight-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
This new arrival comes as Cardi B navigates her divorce from Offset, which she described as 'not peaceful at all' during a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club.
