Cardi B confirms the rumors of being pregnant with Stefon Diggs’ child on CBS Mornings with Gayle King [VIDEO]

Cardi B Announces Album and Arena Tour Details, Plus The Arrival of Her Fourth Child

This morning (September 17), Cardi B sat down with Gayle King on CBS Mornings for what turned out to be one of the most personal and revealing interviews of her career. The Bronx-born superstar confirmed that she is expecting her fourth child, her first with boyfriend and NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Meanwhile, she is also promoting her long-awaited second album Am I the Drama? In addition, she is unveiling her first-ever solo arena tour, the Little Miss Drama Tour.

The news not only places Cardi back at the center of cultural conversation, but also underscores her uncanny ability to merge personal milestones with professional triumphs. This is a strategy that has consistently fueled her staying power in music, business, and pop culture.

A New Chapter: Love and Family With Stefon Diggs

The 32-year-old rapper confirmed rumors that had been swirling for weeks. Yes, she is pregnant again, with her due date set before her tour kicks off in February 2026. This marks Cardi’s fourth child overall and her first since finalizing her divorce from Offset in 2024. Ironically, her 2024 divorce came with confirmation of the birth of her third child, Blossom.

“This is baby number four for me,” Cardi told Gayle King, smiling throughout the reveal. “I’m actually very excited. I’m happy. I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong, and I feel powerful that I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby.”

Cardi described Diggs, who currently plays wide receiver for the New England Patriots, as a stabilizing force in her life after a rocky few years. “He just makes me feel safe — very safe, very confident, and very strong,” she said, noting that Diggs encouraged her to push through the pressures of her album rollout even when online criticism got overwhelming.

The pair, who began dating quietly earlier this year after being spotted courtside at NBA games and at industry events, share a dynamic Cardi described as “relentlessly ambitious.” Both see themselves at the top of their respective fields but constantly striving for the next challenge. “We’re never comfortable,” Cardi said. “We just want to keep doing it again and again.”

Am I the Drama? — The Album

The announcement came just two days before the release of Cardi’s long-awaited sophomore album Am I the Drama?, set to drop September 19 via Atlantic Records. The project marks her return to the music spotlight seven years after her Grammy-winning debut Invasion of Privacy.

The album features a cross-generational lineup that has the internet buzzing: Janet Jackson, Selena Gomez, Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo, Kehlani, Tyla, Summer Walker, and Cash Cobain. The biggest headline, of course, is Janet Jackson’s appearance — the first time in history that Jackson has ever been featured on a female artist’s album.

For Cardi, the pregnancy reveal and album rollout are intertwined. “Y’all wanted to know, and now y’all know,” she joked. “Now go buy my album so I can buy Pampers and diapers.”

Industry watchers see the move as savvy marketing: leveraging a personal life milestone to maximize attention on her music. Early pre-saves for the album reportedly jumped more than 40% within 24 hours of the interview airing.

The Little Miss Drama Tour

Cardi also announced her first solo headlining arena tour, the Little Miss Drama Tour, a 30-city run produced by Live Nation. The trek kicks off February 11, 2026, in Palm Desert, California, and wraps April 17 in Atlanta.

The tour is expected to be a full-scale spectacle, with choreography, fashion, and staging to rival the biggest pop tours of the last decade. Cardi emphasized that even pregnancy won’t slow her down. “Even while I’m pregnant, I’m very ready,” she told Gayle King. “As soon as I give birth, tour rehearsals start. I don’t come from weak women.”

From Divorce to Renewal

This pregnancy marks a new chapter in Cardi’s personal life following her highly publicized divorce from Offset in 2024. Their split was fraught with tabloid drama, but Cardi made it clear in the CBS interview that she has embraced a new sense of stability with Diggs.

She admitted she was initially hesitant to open her heart again: “Yes, I was scared after my divorce. Dating makes you feel like you’re 16 again — excited, but also nervous. But one time he told me, ‘Let me heal you. Give me a chance to heal you.’ And I said, okay.”

That vulnerability is expected to shape the tone of Am I the Drama?, with songs like “Safe” directly inspired by her relationship with Diggs.

Fan Reactions: Excitement, Memes, and Offset Jokes

The announcement immediately trended across X (formerly Twitter), with “Cardi B” hitting the #3 spot in the U.S. within hours. Posts ranged from heartfelt congratulations to memes targeting Offset, who was predictably dragged into the conversation despite being uninvolved.

Celebratory Posts (60%):

Despite mixed reactions, the overwhelming tone leaned positive, with fans praising Cardi for reclaiming her narrative and blending motherhood with superstardom.

Why It Matters

Cardi B’s announcement is more than tabloid fodder. In addition, it’s a snapshot of how celebrity culture, personal milestones, and career moves intersect in the current climate.

By revealing her pregnancy on the eve of her album release, Cardi ensured maximum buzz. By framing her relationship with Diggs as empowering and stabilizing, she countered narratives from her Offset divorce. And by announcing an ambitious arena tour just months after giving birth, she positioned herself as a powerhouse redefining what it means to be a working mother in hip-hop.

In her own words: “I don’t come from weak women.”
