CARDI BIRTH
It’s mom, pop & Kulture as hitmaker has baby
B is for baby.
Rapper Cardi B and her hip-hop star husband, Offset, welcomed their first baby, a girl named Kulture Kiari Cephus, on Tuesday. The Bronx-born rapper broke the news Wednesday on her Instagram page. The baby's middle name is a shoutout to her pop, who was born Kiari Kendrell Cephus.
The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker gave birth in Atlanta, TMZ reported. Offset was there, too.
“Kulture :')...no better feeling,” Cardi captioned a second Instagram post Wednesday.
Cardi, 25, first revealed she was expecting in April during a performance on “Saturday Night Live,” ending weeks of speculation about whether she was pregnant.
She explained on the radio show “The Breakfast Club” later that month why she felt ready to be a mom.
“You know what? I'm a grown woman,” she said. “I'm 25 years old. I'm gonna say this in the most humble way: I'm a schmillionaire. You know what I'm saying? I'm prepared for this.
“I see a lot of women online, like, ‘I feel sorry for you. Your career is over.' And it's like, ‘Why can't I have both?' ”
She then confirmed she was expecting a girl on “The Howard Stern Show” the following month.
Cardi — whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar — revealed late last month that she and 26-year-old Offset, a member of the rap group Migos, secretly got married last September.
“Our relationship was so new breaking up and making up and we had a lot of growing up to do but we was so in love we didn't want to lose each other,” she tweeted. “One morning in September we woke up and decided to get married. We found someone to marry us and she did, just the two of us and my cousin. I said I do, with no dress no make up and no ring!”
