Cardi B confirmed she is pregnant with her first child with Stefon Diggs, and her pregnancy reveal was nothing short of a surprise. The rapper confirmed on CBS Mornings that she is expecting her fourth child. After months of speculation, fans were caught off guard by how effectively Cardi managed to sidestep the news, especially while promoting her second studio album, “Am I the Drama?”
Cardi B’s smart choice of outfits concealed her pregnancy well
Cardi B has been at major events in September. However, she managed to hide that she was pregnant with Stefon Diggs’ child. Naturally, fans were shocked that she managed to be discreet about the pregnancy. The musician showed up at high-profile parties and even appeared in court. While being that visible would reveal anyone’s pregnancy, Cardi could hide it by turning every outfit into a distraction.
The rapper switched tactics depending on the event — from a polka dot suit to a sweeping black dress for a Billboard event in New York. Additionally, she opted for oversized coats at New York Fashion Week, despite the warm weather. A few days later, she ditched the glam for streetwear, filming an album promo in the subway with an oversized hoodie and sweats. This, again, did the job.
When the “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker finally confirmed her pregnancy in an interview with CBS Mornings, Cardi explained her timing. She said, “Can I just say it on my own time? I’m not hiding. On my own terms.” You don’t really want to say right away that you’re pregnant,” she asserted. “Let me see some sonograms, let my baby be healthy.”
Cardi B’s calculated approach to announcing her pregnancy with Stefon Diggs made the announcement land harder because it was hers alone to give. For weeks, fans speculated she was pregnant, convinced something was underneath the coats and layers. Now, the announcement proves that she knows how to control the spotlight and will share personal news when she deems right.
