THE RAPPER ANNOUNCES THIRD PREGNANCY
Just after the news of Cardi B’s divorce, the rapper surprised her fans by announcing her pregnancy. In the caption of the post, she seemingly referenced the divorce and expressed her gratitude for the life growing inside of her.

“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! Reminded me that I can have it all! You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion,” she wrote.

“I love you so much and can not 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 test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through,” she continued.
