    Cardi B welcomes baby boy with Stefon Diggs, marking a new chapter for the superstar rapper

    The ever-energetic rapper Cardi B has officially welcomed her fourth child—a baby boy—with NFL star Stefon Diggs, according to a recent report from TMZ. 

    Arrival & Announcement

    Sources say the baby boy arrived last week, and Diggs was by Cardi’s side during the birth. Cardi took to social media to share the joyous news, posting a heartfelt message:

    “My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons. My last chapter was the beginning of a new season. A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me…” 
    In her own words, she described this as a fresh start—a new chapter worth embracing.

    Family Update

    This latest addition broadens Cardi’s already bustling household: she shares three children with her ex-partner Offset—daughters Kulture Kiari Cephus and Blossom, and son Wave Set Cephus. Stefon Diggs already has a daughter, Nova, from a previous relationship. 

    The Bigger Picture

    Cardi’s announcement comes amid other milestones: she recently released new music and teased a fresh album, signalling that both her personal and professional lives are entering vibrant new phases.


    For fans and the media alike, the arrival marks not just another little “Bardi Gang” member, but a turning point: Evolving relationships, expanding family, and creative reinvention all in one.

    It’ll be interesting to see how this new chapter unfolds for both Cardi and Stefon—from family dynamics to public appearances.

    Final Thoughts

    Congratulations are in order for the couple as they embark on this new adventure with their baby boy. With Cardi’s signature gusto and Diggs’ athletic pedigree, this little one is certainly stepping into a dynamic world. Wishing them lots of love, joy, and calm nights (yes, we can dream).

  • Offset’s tax debt soars amid Cardi B divorce drama, allegedly

    [media-credit name=”Instagram” link=”https://www.instagram.com/p/DPmEzvkAIgY/?img_index=1″ width=1440 align=”center”][/media-credit]

    Rapper Offset is facing a mounting tax problem just as his divorce from Cardi B plays out. Reports say his unpaid tax debt has grown into the seven-figure range, putting fresh pressure on already tense personal and financial dynamics.

    According to the coverage, the IRS and state filers have imposed multiple liens on Offset’s property—one federal lien reportedly at about $1.5 million for tax liabilities tied to recent years, with additional amounts from state authorities. The exact total remains somewhat unclear publicly, but insiders say it’s “close to $2 million”.

    What makes this more than a mere tax story: All this unfolds whilst Cardi B and Offset’s divorce negotiations are stalled. Cardi has publicly claimed one of the sticking points is Offset’s financial demands, including that she cover his tax bills and property transfers in order to finalise the split.

    For fans, analysts and anyone watching celebrity finances, several themes emerge:

  • The tax liens raise questions about Offset’s financial planning, obligations and potential exposure beyond just the musical brand.
  • The divorce context adds a layer of complexity: financial liabilities aren’t just personal—they can influence asset division, custody, and public image.
  • Cardi B’s willingness to highlight the tax issue suggests she sees it as more than incidental—she frames it as part of the leverage around their separation.

    • Whilst neither party has provided full transparent accounting, the debt alone is large enough to affect settlement talks, future earnings and how both artists navigate their independent paths. In the coming months, watch for how the liens get resolved, whether Offset pays down or structures the debt, and how that resolution affects his and Cardi’s public and professional narratives.

  • Cardi B ignites the Global Citizen Festival, whilst expecting

    [media-credit name=”CBS Mornings” width=1050 align=”center”]Cardi B[/media-credit]

    On September 27, 2025, Cardi B took to the stage at the Global Citizen Festival, and she did so with both bold energy and her baby bump. The multi-platinum rapper, several months pregnant with her fourth child, delivered a performance that reminded fans why she commands attention—even when her roles triple.

    With DJ SpinKing of Power 105.1 spinning the tracks, Cardi opened the set with selections from her latest album ‘Am I The Drama?’, including standout tracks like ‘Outside’ and ‘ErrTime’. She also reached back to fan favourites—’I Like It’ and ‘Bodak Yellow’—mixing hits old and new to both satisfy long-time listeners and showcase her current creative pulse. Her stage presence was magnetic; she moved with dancers, energised the crowd, and carried a performance that felt fearless, despite being several months into pregnancy.

    Cardi’s appearance came on short notice, too. She stepped in for The Weeknd announces 2026 tour dates, who had to withdraw from the festival due to “personal reasons”. The substitution may have been unexpected, but Cardi didn’t simply fill a slot—she owned it.

    Looking ahead, this set gives a strong preview of what fans can expect from her upcoming Little Miss Drama Tour, launching February 11 in Palm Desert, California. The tour’s itinerary will include many major US and Canadian cities, ending its US leg in Atlanta in mid-April.

    Cardi’s performance at Global Citizen reflected more than just showmanship: It was a celebration of resilience, artistry, and life in motion.

  • Cardi B tells Apple Music about making ‘Imaginary Playerz’ and ‘Am I the Drama?’

    Cardi B joins Apple Music’s Zane Lowe for an in-depth conversation about her highly-anticipated second studio album, ‘Am I the Drama?’. In the conversation, Cardi B reveals what exact time JAY Z approved ‘Imaginary Playerz’, and opens up about overcoming writer’s block, the pressure of following her chart-topping debut, personal challenges over the past few years, and more.

    Cardi B tells Apple Music about having writers block while creating ‘Am I the Drama?’

    Zane Lowe: There’s a lot of life going on around this time as well. It wasn’t just like you were sitting on music, you were trying to find balance, I’d imagine that was what was going on.

    Cardi B: Yeah. It was just trying to find balance in life. And not only that, but it’s just like I don’t know, it got to the point for me that it’s like nothing was pleasing me. And it’s so funny because even when I get dressed up, when I wear clothes and stuff, there’s sometimes I’d be like, “Oh my gosh, I feel like I already did this. Oh my God, I feel like somebody already wore something similar to this.” And that is the same way that I feel about music. And it’s just, you’ll be surprised. I got 80 songs that I did probably these past seven years. And it’s just like I just be like three weeks later, it’s like I don’t love it, I don’t want it, I feel stupid, it sounds dumb, it’s sounds this. And even when people come and try to help me, it’s like I still don’t like it. It’s like I really went through a crash that nothing was pleasing me, nothing.

    Cardi B tells Apple Music about matching the success of her debut album ‘Invasion of Privacy’

    Zane Lowe: How much was the success that you achieved with ‘Invasion of Privacy’ and the songs that came from that? And then of course the world opens up and people fall in love with you. So music is the key. And then they’re like, yeah, we love the music, but we love her. How much of that got inside your head as well a little bit?

    Cardi B: It’s not really much. It’s just like I don’t go with the pressure of ‘Invasion of Privacy.’ Because what’s funny, when it came to ‘Invasion of Privacy,’ I wasn’t really thinking of like, oh, I need to make these numbers. I need to make these things. I just really felt like it’s like I have to keep my career. Because it was the first time I got pregnant and people were saying it’s like, oh, this never happened before. We never had an artist in the label that got pregnant right at the beginning of their career. So I just was in a rush to do my deadline and deliver my album. So that was on my mind.

    Now things have changed because people criticize me a little bit harder more than I feel like any other artist, which I feel like is not fair to me. But it’s like, you know what? They don’t do it to the people they don’t think that they’re great or they don’t whatever. And it’s like one of the key that I feel confidence that I’m going to be okay because it’s like no matter what I do, it’s like sometimes I could put this fire-ass outfit and I could kill Fashion Week, and it’s like people would be cool, but where’s the music? I could drop a product and people be like, okay, but where’s the album? I could be in a drama, some controversial shit, and people are like, we don’t give a fuck. We want the album.

    Cardi B tells Apple Music about other female rappers not liking her

    In the industry, there is a lot of different female rappers, but for some reason, it’s something about me that these bitches can’t stand. They can’t fuck with me. Some bitches, I feel like they’re on this class right now, they’re sophomores, and I’m a senior. And it’s like you want to fuck with the senior so bad. You think you’re here with the senior. You’re not even a junior. And it’s like you need to worry about them other sophomores before you start worrying about here, the fucking senior. But it’s something about it that it’s like they can’t even focus on them. They got to focus on me. And they always got to focus on throwing me shots and throwing me slings. No matter if you’re a fucking sophomore or in motherfucking college, it’s me.

    Cardi B tells Apple Music about the start of ‘Imaginary Playerz’

    I was in the studio last year in the Summertime and I was really caught in a funk. I ain’t got my hair done, I ain’t got my makeup done in weeks. I’m sleeping on the couch. It was the fourth, third day that I’m sleeping on the couch in the studio. And I just feel so down, not down, but I just don’t feel like my best.

    I’m exhausted, I’m pregnant as fuck. And I was just going through some drama in my life and I just was so tired, so over it. And then my engineer was like, “Cheer up.” He’s like, “Come on, come on. We got to wake up, we got to get up.” And I was like, “All right. All right.” Then he started playing [Jay-Z’s] ‘Imaginary Players’. And I just started laughing because it was so random for him to play that. And I was like, yeah. I’m like, yo, imagine if I flip this but my way because it’s like my life. Because it’s like I got a lot of shit to brag about. I really do live a different lifestyle than a lot of people.

    Cardi B tells Apple Music about making ‘Imaginary Playerz’

    Cardi B: It’s like I’m practically rapping about what I’m living. Everything that I’m talking about is the things that I live or the things that my fly friends… Because I be looking like, it’s like what this bitch wearing? What this bitch talking about? What this and that? And it’s like I literally just have to make it rhyme, make it sound good, but it’s like this is my life. And I just took notes of everything that I was doing. It’s like even in the music video, I was really having a fitting. I just had my hair done and my makeup done and the people that were fitting me, they’re really the fashion houses fitting me for a show. All those outfits that I wore, I wore them for a show.

    Zane Lowe: That’s not a set.

    Cardi B: It’s not a set. And it’s like they’re really fitting me couture pieces while I’m doing a music video. This is my life. This is really my life. It’s like I’m wearing couture, but I’m not wearing it for a music video. I’m wearing it because I’m about to wear this to a show this week.

    Cardi B tells Apple Music about feeling like she was dying the past year

    Cardi B: I really like to do my things very colourful. I’m a very colorful person. But it’s just like this past year, I feel like something kind of was dying in me. My humbleness, me trying so much to be unproblematic, me trying to avoid drama, avoid the disses, avoid the bitches, avoid the talks, it’s like that shit is dying, that’s dying out in me. It is like that’s really dying in me. Because I’m really about to show you, bitch, that you are not fucking with me. The cockiness is being born again. And not only that, but it’s like my life, my relationships, everything, it’s like that shit is dying now too. It is giving chances, giving chances to men, giving chances to women, giving chances to people that it’s like just want to see the nice shorty shorty. It’s like, oh, just ignore it, be the bigger person. That shit is dying. Now it’s like I feel like I gave y’all too much grace to think that y’all could fuck with me. And it’s like that shit is dead, bitch. Now I’m going to embrace that. You wanted that, bitch. Now I’m going to give it to you. And I hope you could take it when I motherfucking give it to y’all. That’s how I feel, for real. You see that I’m getting kind of angry?

    Zane Lowe: It’s a real emotion though. It’s a real human energy.
    Cardi B: Yes, yes. Because imagine being in your crib. You’re going through so much, so much drama. You probably got into an argument with your aunt and your cousins and shit. Then your fucking husband doing some bullshit. Then in your music career in the studio, you got fucking writer’s block. You have all these problems going on. Then a bitch starts fucking with you. And it’s like while all this is happening, you got a bitch fucking with me. And it’s like all right, bitch, I can’t get to you at that moment, but I’m going to get to you now. And you’re going to get it on my time as well.

    Cardi B tells Apple Music about JAY-Z approving ‘Imaginary Playerz’ at 4:44 PM

    Cardi B: Life, it just changed for me and I just needed to be outside. So I was just writing fly shit down. Then when it was time to submit it to get approved, I was a little scared. I was a little shaky. Wait a minute, Jay-Z got to approve it. I mean, I always knew that he got to approve it, but it was like, how about if he don’t approve it? How about if he fucking likes it? And he did like it. And it’s so crazy, the text message of him approving it, it was at 4:44 PM.

    Zane Lowe: Are you kidding me? Is he living like that or is that just some crazy universe fucking spiritual shit? Because I don’t really think he’s sitting there waiting till 4, 4, 4.
    Cardi B: No, nobody does.

    Cardi B tells Apple Music how she is processing life after getting divorced

    Zane Lowe: You’re still going through it though? Does it feel like you’re still processing? You talked about life changing.
    Cardi B: Yes. Yes. You know when you graduate high school and now you’re about to go to college, you don’t know what you expecting. Well, not only do you got to go to college, it’s like I had to move out. So it’s like now you really in the real world. And it’s like I feel like I’m getting that reset again, but it doesn’t feel as good because I’m in my 30s and I shouldn’t be having a reset at my 30s. It should just be almost planned out, almost like this is what is coming for the rest of my life. It’s like sometimes I feel like I’m in my 20s and I don’t really want to feel like I’m in my 20s. I want to feel like I’m in my grown 30s because I got three kids. And it’s like I’m not a… I like to be outside. I like to have fun. But it’s like I like to have my things planned out. I’m always a person that thinking about five years from now. You know what I’m saying? I like to think about family. That’s just the type of person that I just am. So experiencing that, experiencing the streets and stuff like that, it’s just a little weird. And then it’s like going through a divorce is very, very tough because you marry somebody and the person that you divorcing is not that person that you married. It’s like you really ask yourself like who the fuck did I marry? Who did I marry? There is no love there. There is no love. There is no love. But to me, I always felt like if I ever walk away from something, I get along with all my exes. Even if we don’t talk, we never ended it on some nasty, nasty stuff. So I never wish them bad. I don’t wish them bad or nothing like that. It has gotten to the point that it’s like, oh my gosh, I feel like I really hate you. I think I hate you. And I never wanted that. I always be wondering, it’s like why do women hate their baby daddy so much? Why do people say that divorce is so tough? I feel like if the love is dead, people should just go their separate way.

  • Watch Newburgh’s finest Pardison Fontaine and Cardi B rap about new relationships in ‘Toot It Up’

    Is it me, or does Pardison Fontaine flow like French Montana on this track?

    [media-credit name=”Courtesy” width=701 align=”none”][/media-credit]

    Today, frequent collaborators Pardison Fontaine and Cardi B released a new track called ‘Toot It Up’ that the Newburgh-bred artist and songwriter, formerly linked to Megan thee Stallion and Jada Kingdom, teased on the world wide web some days ago. On the piquant hook, the Bronx-bred GRAMMY Award-winning superstar Cardi B embraces her verified freakiness, speaks on what gets her going (naughty time), and takes it further to explain what happens whenever she shares photos of herself in a bikini. During his verse, he boasts about being able to throw a birthday bash at the Barclays, his relationships (Benny the Jeweler), the head-turning women he dates, and cleverly shouts out the legendary HOT 97 DJ, Funkmaster Flex.

    After the Pardison Fontaine verse, Cardi B seems to share another preference of males she could entertain (athletes), she acknowledges the Nas sample, and reminds us all that she never met a woman who could check her, or a broke man worth her time. Finishing off her addition, she describes her complexion preference, flying private on a jet, and never getting the credit she deserves. Watch the official music video for the explicit record below that interpolates global superstar rapper-songwriter Nas’ fan-favourite lead single, ‘Made You Look’, from his 2002 album, ‘God’s Son’, and the song that Will Smith and Carlton Banks danced to on the popular television show, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air — ‘Apache’ (also commonly referred to as ‘Jump On It’) by The Sugar Hill Gang. Sage English shot it.

    If you identify as a music fan, who invests significant time of your life into the personal lives of others, Cardi B has also addressed the notion of her allegedly backstabbing her friend, Megan thee Stallion, who Pardison Fontaine dated from 2020-2023.

    On X Spaces, the ‘WAP’ rapper explained, “I wanna make this very clear. When I fuck with two people and I like two people, I stay away from their shit Because when it comes to relationships, some bullshit will always happen, and one thing about me – I’m gonna stay neutral and I’m gonna stay the fuck out of it.”

    She continued, “I don’t wanna hear nothing because I fuck with both of y’all… None of that shit is my fucking business. So stop fucking harassing me, stop calling me a fucked up person, stop calling me a fucking bitch because that’s not what I am.”
