Cardi B is a mom-to-be!
That's right, after months of speculation the "Bodak Yellow" rapper is pregnant! In true Beyoncé style, the dynamic rapper made sure she had all eyes on her when she literally revealed her pregnancy bump to the world, wearing a bodycon white gown during her performance on Saturday Night Live, which was hosted by Black Panther's Chadwick Boseman
Earlier in the show, Cardi, who is engaged to Migos' Offset, hid her form under a voluminous feathered frock during her first appearance as the show's musical guest.
Soon after Cardi revealed her secret, Saturday Night Live's official Twitter wished the expectant star some love, tweeting, "Congratulations @iamcardib! #SNL."
In recent weeks, the rapper, whose first studio album Invasion of Privacy dropped one day ago, has been wearing increasingly outrageous ensembles in order to keep her body under wraps. Just last night she was outfitted in a very roomy pink metallic dress, which many (correctly) speculated was hiding her growing bump.
Blogging often feels like emotional abuse masked as news, but every once in a while, the benevolent gods at Vulture send me to you with a golden scroll, and HERE IT IS: CARDI B IS HAVING A CARDI BABY!!!! I was supposed to be writing you a Dirt Bag gossip round-up right now, but I’m not tainting this.
She announced it via baby bump while performing Be Careful last night on SNL, during which the camera panned down to her stomach (scroll to 2:30 above). Speculation has run rampant due to recent draperies such as this tremendous lamé tent and poofs of silky mohair.
The people guessed in February, and she told an Instagram commenter, “No bitch I’m just getting fat. Let me fat in peace.” This week, she told Beats 1 that she’s “not a damn animal at the zoo that you just could see everything, no.”
Now she is finally free!
Watch her exclaim “I’m finally free!”:

After months of speculation, the bump the whole world has been straining to see is now finally fully and completely visible. Cardi B finally revealed her now very obvious pregnancy to the world while performing her new single “Be Careful” on Saturday Night Live. The rapper had been dodging rumors about a pregnancy and trying her best to hide her belly from the public. She previously addressed the rumors in an interview with Apple Music, saying “People cannot expect me to be open about everything.”
This will be her first child with her fiancé Offset, who tweeted a message to the rapper shortly after she finished her performance/bump debut, writing, “Cardi and I look forward to our next chapter together.”
