Cardi B is adding another title to her already stacked résumé: mom of four.
The Grammy-winning rapper confirmed Wednesday on CBS Mornings that she is expecting her fourth child — her first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs, wide receiver for the New England Patriots. The announcement ends weeks of speculation about her personal life, with Cardi revealing the baby is due before the launch of her highly anticipated Little Miss Dramaarena tour in February.
“I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby,” Cardi said, adding that her partner’s encouragement has been invaluable. “Me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.”
The 32-year-old rapper, born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, opened up about the ways Diggs has given her stability and strength during an emotionally turbulent season. She admitted that the pressure of releasing new music — including her upcoming sophomore album Am I The Drama? — has triggered moments of self-doubt.
“Two weeks ago I was literally having a panic attack,” she confessed. “I was crying and crying … sometimes people love you, sometimes they hate you, and people was just saying very mean things about me. That’s why I don’t put music out sometimes, because it crushes you.”
Still, she said Diggs’ reassurance keeps her grounded: “He makes me feel safe and very confident … like I could take over the world.”
The couple, who kept their romance relatively private until recently, share what Cardi describes as a mutual drive to be “the greatest” in their respective fields. She revealed Diggs once told her: “Let me heal you. Give me a chance for me to heal you.”
Cardi, who already shares three children with ex-husband Offset, admitted she delayed her pregnancy announcement until “closing some deals first.” She also joked that she hasn’t told her parents yet — because she’s “scared of them.”
But fans won’t have to wait long for her other big delivery. Am I The Drama? drops September 19, featuring tracks like “Safe,” which Cardi says reflect her journey toward vulnerability and resilience.
Using her signature humor, the rapper even tied the personal milestone back to business: “Now y’all could buy my album so I can buy Pampers and diapers and all that type of stuff. I told you. Now go support my album, cause I’m a mother of four now.”
With a new baby, a new album, and her first arena tour on the horizon, Cardi B is stepping into her next chapter with equal parts grit and glamour — and plenty of drama, on her own terms.
