Cardi B has been happily flaunting her pregnancy ever since she announced it officially earlier this year, but now, she’s ready to meet her baby.

The “I Like It” rapper posted a throwback photo of her and husband Offset cozied up on a peacock chair at the former reality star’s baby shower in June. Cardi’s mom snapped the pic of the Migos member with his hand on his wife’s belly.

In the comments, Tameka “Tiny” Harris speculated the baby girl might arrive on her birthday – or “G day” as the Xscape singer put it.

“She might come on G day 7/14… Many Blessings to u two,” Tiny commented.

“Hopefully sooner,” Cardi B replied.

Cardi has been open about her experiences with pregnancy, constantly tweeting updates about how she’s feeling and what she’s thinking. She recently shared that despite rumors to the contrary, she was not in labor, but rather, at home watching a movie.

“I’m at home watching ‘IT’,” she tweeted.

That morning, she shared, “Last night was the worst night ever 😪😪😓. This last month of pregnancy is hell 😰.”

And all the while, she’s still showing no signs of slowing down.

“Ebro told me to exercise and walk so my baby can come out easier but I can’t even put lotion on my legs with out feeling huffy and puffy 😩😩,” she tweeted Saturday, July 7. “I’m going to try my best to at least walk 5 blocks today!! After this photo shoot of course ❤❤.”

If she can’t get a walk in, she might be able to muster the strength to have herself a twerk session as the singer is known for busting a move throughout her pregnancy, something she put on full display during her Coachella performance back in April.

The performance was a hit with fans at the time.

“Hands down the highlight of Coachella was seeing lil prego Cardi twerk on Offset during ‘Motorsport.'”

“To be honest, watching a very swollen and pregnant Cardi B twerk fervently while the sun softly sets over the Coachella field basking it in a warm glow is a poetic and transformative experience..”

 

 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
