All the signs
Cardi B pregnancy rumors have been going around for a few weeks now. It didn't help that she started wearing outfits that hid her belly. This included Cardi's latest appearance at the iHeartMusic Awards on Sunday. The tulle gown was made by Christian Soriano and was gorgeous. Most Cardi fans knew something was up though since the huge ruffles hid everything under the rapper's chest.
Back in February, BET accused the "Motorsport" artist of "pulling a Kylie Jenner." It looks like she sort of was. Or maybe more of a Khloe Kardashian since the news is out new. Then again, Cardi hasn't officially spoken out about her baby news yet.
Back in February when a fan asked Cardi about a possible pregnancy on Instagram, she responded, “No b***h.
I’m just getting fat. Let me fat in peace.”
Cardi B and Offset got engaged back in October 2017. Initially, it was reported that their wedding planning was postponed due to their busy careers. While Cardi's popularity has been through the roof, it looks like maybe it was the baby news that pushed back those wedding plans. Either way, congrats to Cardi B and Offset!
