Cardi B continues to live her best life. The Bronx rapper released her debut album, Invasion of Privacy on Friday and, spoiler alert: it’s a smash. She also got news that she would be the first co-host of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon tonight and she made her Saturday Night Live debut where she finally revealed that she’s pregnant!
As for the reason why she kept her pregnancy such a secret, Cardi chalked it up to one thing: haters. According to E! News, in a since deleted Instagram post, Cardi wrote after presumably seeing negative feedback about the reveal, “This is why I did not [want] to say nothing. People be so thirsty to scrutinize and try to destroy something that [is supposed] to be a blessing.”
That didn’t stop her from being overjoyed when she left the SNL stage on Saturday night yelling, “I’m free!” backstage.
However, she’s gotten plenty of love and support over the reveal, in particular from Rihanna. “The love I’m receiving is overwhelming! I can’t thank you enough for always finding the time to share your support!! Thank you a million times [Rihanna],” she wrote on Instagram. She also revealed on Twitter yesterday that she’s more motivated than ever now that she’s about to become a mother for the first time. “I started winning when the whole world was doubting on me! Think imma lose with my little baby counting on me?”
