Cardi B never does anything halfway, and her latest appearance on CBS Mornings proved exactly that. The Grammy-winning rapper sat down with Gayle King in a wide-ranging conversation that shocked fans. From candid confessions about her recent trial to a headline-making reveal that she’s expecting her fourth child with NFL star Stefon Diggs, Cardi owned the moment the way only she can.
After weeks of speculation, Cardi B confirmed she’s pregnant with her boyfriend, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs. The baby is due before her highly anticipated arena tour, “Little Miss Drama,” which kicks off 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. She described Diggs as her anchor, fueling her ambition and bringing her peace. “He just makes me feel safe and very confident and very strong,” she assures in the interview.
The rapper also admitted she kept the news private until she could lock in major business deals. With her trademark humor, she joked, “Now y’all could buy my album so I can buy diapers and all that type of stuff. I told you. Now go support my album, cause I’m a mother of four now.”
Balancing Motherhood and Music
Motherhood has always been central to Cardi’s journey, but she’s candid about the challenges of balancing it with her career. She revealed moments of vulnerability during the interview, recalling how harsh criticism of her new music left her in tears. “This is why I don’t put music out sometimes,” she admitted. “It crushes you when people rip apart something you poured love and time into.”

Scheduled to drop Sept. 19, it’s already one of the year’s most anticipated releases. She teased that the project includes a track called “Safe,” inspired by Diggs’ impact on her life.
The Viral Street Promotion
Cardi also leaned into her signature creativity when promoting the album. Her guerrilla-style, on-the-street promo went viral earlier this week, with fans swarming around her as she blasted snippets of “Am I The Drama?” directly into the public. The stunt perfectly captured her knack for turning the ordinary into a spectacle, ensuring her rollout stays unforgettable.
Finding Love After Heartbreak
The rapper opened up about her divorce from Offset and her hesitation to love again. She credited Diggs with breaking down her walls, recalling his words: “Let me heal you. Give me a chance for me to heal you.” That reassurance, she says, made her believe in love again.

Between prepping for the release of “Am I The Drama?,” gearing up for her arena tour, and preparing to welcome her fourth child, Cardi B is stepping into one of the busiest yet most fulfilling seasons of her life. She insists the timing feels right. “I just feel like it’s something that is not out there right now,” she said about her album.
Congratulations on your pregnancy and new album, Cardi B!
