Cardi B is pregnant, say reports, but she won’t skip Coachella
Cardi B may have denied she’s pregnant, but she’s got a due date of early July and she’s not going to let the matter of a pretty significant baby bump get in her way of performing at the Coachella music festival next month.
That’s according to TMZ, who has sources close to the hip-hop star saying that her baby with fiancee and fellow rapper Offset, of the hiphop group Migos, is due the first week of July. the baby would be Cardi’s first child and Offset’s fourth ( his three other children are with three different women).
These sources also say that the 25-year- old will still take to the stage next month at Coachella, even though she would be close to seven months pregnant (Beyonce bowed out of last year’s Coachella because she was expecting). It’s unclear if she would come clean by then about the baby or shewould continue trying to cover up her bump, TMZ said. The site noticed that she wore an empire waist gown to the iHeartRadio Music Awards this past weekend that could have covered an emerging bump.
Pregnancy rumors first started to swirl around Cardi B in February. But she immediately shot them down, saying to a fan: “No bitch I’m just getting fat. Let me fat in peace,” according to the site hotnewhiphop.com. She also joked, “Is there maybe a Kylie Jenner secret that we need to know about lol. Just asking.”
The rumors heated up over Super Bowl weekend when she performed at several events, including a party hosted by Maxim, according to TMZ.
After the “Bodak Yellow” rapper performed, she apparently didn’t want to return to her own VIP room because alcohol was “flowing” there, TMZ reported at the time. Her representative told an employee at the venue that she didn’t want to be in a “party atmosphere” and preferred to stay in an area near the stage and drink Fiji water.
The reason? Her representative told the employee that Cardi B is three to four months pregnant, TMZ said.
TMZ is now reporting that Cardi plans to continue working up until she gives birth. She’s currently trying to finish her first album, and she fully intends to go on tour with Bruno Mars in September, two months after she is scheduled to give birth.
