Latin music artist and Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B has once again taken the media landscape by storm with two major announcements, which seemed to be somehow contradictory, although a classic behavior for the Dominican American artist who has always defied expectations.

In a surprising turn of events, Cardi B revealed she is expecting her third child and has also filed for divorce from her husband, Offset. The news was confirmed by her manager to The Associated Press, stating: "This is not based on any particular incident; it has been a long time coming and is amicable."

Cardi B baby news

Cardi B didn't directly address the divorce on social media, but she did share on Instagram a photo carousel of herself on a Manhattan rooftop, dressed in a gorgeous and revealing red gown while holding her stomach, which reveals a baby bump.

Alongside the picture, she wrote: "With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all, renewed my power! Remind me that I can have it all! You've reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion! I love you so much and cannot wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do! It's so much easier taking life's twists, turns, and tests lying down, but you, your brother, and your sister have shown me why it's worth it to push through!"

The end of a hip-hop power couple

Urban music artists Cardi B and Offset, whose real names are Belcalis Almanzar and Kiari Cephus, respectively, have had a tumultuous relationship over the years. They share two children: Kulture, 5, and Wave, 2. The hip-hop power couple secretly married on September 20, 2017 in Atlanta and publicly announced their engagement a month later.

Their relationship has seen its fair share of ups and downs. Cardi B previously filed for divorce from Offset in 2020, citing that their marriage was "irretrievably broken." Despite reconciling after the first divorce filing, it seems the couple has decided to part ways for good this time.

Cardi B's latest announcements have once again thrust her into the spotlight, with fans and media alike speculating on what the future holds for the rapper and her growing family. As she embarks on this new chapter, Cardi B continues to show resilience and determination, embracing both the joys and challenges that life brings.
