Cardi B, the 32-year-old rapper, revealed her growing baby bump at the Apple Music album launch for Am I The Drama? in New York City on Wednesday night, days after confirming she is expecting her fourth child and her first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs.
She commanded attention in a daring sheer black lace catsuit, layered with cascading strands of white pearls draped across her body. The look was completed with black high-heeled boots, a pearl choker, and voluminous platinum blond waves that channeled old Hollywood glamour. The outfit highlighted her baby bump just days after she publicly confirmed the pregnancy. The intimate Apple Music celebration gave fans a preview of what to expect from her upcoming Little Miss Drama Tour, which is set to begin in February on the West Coast.
Outside the venue in New York, Diggs surprised his girlfriend, greeting her with a bouquet that underscored the couple's growing family.
Cardi B has said she is excited about expanding her family. In an interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings earlier this week, she indicated she is having a baby with her boyfriend Stefon Diggs and that she feels excited, happy, and empowered as she works while pregnant.
At the Apple Music event, Cardi performed tracks from her long-awaited sophomore album, including Pretty & Petty and Outside. The Grammy winner also shares three children with her estranged ex-husband Offset. After their breakup, she moved on with Diggs, with the couple publicly stepping out together last year around Valentine’s Day. The baby is due to arrive before she heads out on tour.
Cardi B has previously balanced pregnancy with high-profile performances. In 2018, she performed on Saturday Night Live while pregnant with daughter Kulture, who is now seven. She also wore a sheer catsuit in 2021 to the BET Awards while with ex Offset. The upcoming tour, Little Miss Drama, is expected to reflect the drama and energy fans have come to expect from the Bronx-born artist.
