Hip hop’s power couple Cardi B and Offset are expecting a second child.
Cardi revealed her pregnancy during a performance with Migos at the 2021 BET Awards. Midway through the groups live debut of ‘Type Shit’ Cardi B emerged, gloriously donning a rhinestone-embellished black jumpsuit and an unmistakable baby bump.

This is the second time Cardi has used a performance to announce her pregnancy. Back in 2018, Cardi revealed that she and Offset were expecting their first child, Kulture, during a performance on Saturday Night Live.
Naturally, the internet is losing its damn mind over the reveal.

Last week, Cardi B took to Twitter to highlight the way female rappers “disrespected” by rap fans.
“Female rappers have to bust their ass on performances, great visuals, hours on make up, hours on hair, pressure by the public to look perfect, make great music, and yet are the most disrespected,” she wrote. “It’s always they not good enough, what’s new? It’s boring. Why her not me.” You can read more about that here.
