American rapper and Grammy Award-winning artist Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, popularly known as Cardi B, has officially confirmed that she is expecting her fourth child.
The 31-year-old rapper revealed the news during an appearance on CBS Mornings, putting an end to weeks of speculation following her recent public appearances.
In the interview with Gayle King, Cardi B proudly announced, “I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs.” She further disclosed that her due date is scheduled just ahead of her Little Miss Drama tour, which is set to kick off in February 2026.
Rumours about Cardi’s pregnancy began swirling earlier this month when the rapper was photographed leaving a courtroom, where she has been attending hearings in connection with her ongoing assault case.
Fans were quick to notice what appeared to be a visible baby bump, and videos of her walking slowly and carefully, described by some as “waddling”, fuelled online chatter.
The viral moment sparked a wave of comments and speculation across social media, with fans eagerly awaiting confirmation from the rapper herself.

Speaking about her pregnancy, Cardi B expressed joy and contentment about this new chapter in her life.
“I’ve been putting in all this work, but I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby. I’m happy. I feel like I’m in a good space,” she said.
She went on to speak highly of her relationship with boyfriend Stefon Diggs, a wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills in the NFL.
“Me and my man are very supportive of each other. We like [being] in the same space in our careers. You know what it is? I feel like we’re really great, we’re really the best at what we do,” she added.
Cardi B’s pregnancy marks her first child with Diggs, following her very public relationship with rapper Offset, a member of the hip-hop group Migos. Cardi B and Offset share three children and have had a marriage that often made headlines for both its highs and lows.
The couple officially called it quits in 2023, after years of on-and-off reconciliation. Cardi B has since focused on co-parenting and balancing her music career with motherhood.

The Little Miss Drama tour, which she confirmed will proceed as planned, is expected to be her biggest yet, taking her across major cities in the U.S. and internationally.
Industry observers note that Cardi’s decision to embrace pregnancy while maintaining her work schedule sends a powerful message about women balancing motherhood and career aspirations in the entertainment industry.
As she prepares to welcome her fourth child, Cardi B appears to be thriving both personally and professionally. With a new tour on the horizon, a baby on the way, and a supportive relationship, the rapper is poised for another headline-making year in 2026.
“I’m just grateful. This baby feels like a blessing, and I can’t wait to meet them,” she said as she signed off the interview.
