Global rap superstar Cardi B has given her fans a glimpse into her impressive post-pregnancy fitness journey, sharing a workout video from Saudi Arabia just weeks after welcoming her fourth child.
Training Any Time, Any Place
The 33-year-old artist, whose real name is Belcalis Almánzar, took to Instagram on Saturday to post a clip of herself exercising diligently. The footage shows her using a treadmill while in the Middle Eastern nation for a concert performance. Demonstrating respect for local customs, Cardi B wore a full-length black cloak and hijab in accordance with Saudi Arabia's public decency laws.
In the video, she energetically declared, "We’re in [Saudi] Arabia, baby, I told ya." She reminded her followers of her commitment to getting ready for her upcoming tour, stating, "I told y’all after I give birth, I’m getting ready for the Little Miss Drama tour — and it’s two months away."
The Secret to Her 'Snapback'? Stress and Dedication
The mother-of-four, who recently showcased her remarkable post-pregnancy physical recovery, continued her workout on a stationary bike. She addressed the frequent questions she receives about her shape, humorously attributing part of her weight loss to seasonal stress. "I’ll tell you how I did it: Stress! It is Christmas, it is Kwanzaa, it is Hanukkah," she joked.
However, her dedication is clear. In a caption directed at her 164 million Instagram followers, she wrote, 'I told ya’ll imma be getting ready for tour! Any time! ANY PLACE ….y'all got y’all tickets?' She urged fans to secure their seats for the tour promptly, warning them not to complain in January if tickets sell out.
Preparing for a Major Comeback
Cardi B had previously revealed in September that her due date was set before the commencement of her Little Miss Drama tour in February. In an Instagram video at the time, she outlined her rigorous plans, insisting, "After this album run, it’s straight to exercising, it’s straight to dance classes."
She emphasised her commitment to her fans, stating, "I owe this to myself and I owe this to my fans that have been waiting for such a long time... I owe this album to y'all, I owe this tour to y'all, and it has to be the best of the best." Her sophomore album, 'Am I the Drama?', released on September 19, follows her Grammy-winning 2018 debut 'Invasion of Privacy'.
The Bodak Yellow hitmaker shares her newborn son with her boyfriend, 32-year-old New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs. She is also mother to three other children: seven-year-old Kulture, four-year-old Wave, and one-year-old Blossom, whom she shares with her estranged husband, Offset.
Cardi B confirmed her pregnancy in September during an interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, expressing her excitement and happiness. She also noted that having worked out until the final weeks of her previous pregnancy helped her achieve a quick recovery, suggesting a similar approach this time around.
