The Grammy-winning artist, whose full name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, is currently expecting her first child with NFL star Stefon Diggs. She revealed the news live during an interview on CBS Mornings in September, sparking excitement among fans who’ve followed her love life closely.

Since going Instagram official in June 2025, Cardi and the New England Patriots wide receiver have been spotted together at several public events, including courtside at a New York Knicks playoff game, looking very much in love.

Despite her physical discomfort, the “WAP” hitmaker told Gayle King during her CBS interview that she’s feeling grateful and empowered through this pregnancy, saying: “I’m happy. I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong, very powerful that I’m doing all this work – but I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby.”

Then, on Monday, October 13, the “Drip” rapper got candid with fans on social media, posting an unfiltered update about how she’s been coping physically this time around.

Her unapologetic clapback quickly caught fire online, racking up more than 33,000 likes and over 2,300 reposts within hours.

Others defended her right to live on her own terms, with one fan saying: “Real girl you need to catch a break.”

And another chimed in to remind people to mind their business, writing: “F***n wild how everyone got something to say about how she living her life.”

She explained that while she’s proud of how far she’s come, her biggest goal is to raise her kids to surpass her in every way.
