How did Cardi B announce her pregnancy?

Cardi B, real name Belcalis Almanzar, decided to reveal her pregnancy on Saturday Night Live in April 2018.

The 26-year-old star had denied pregnancy rumours for months leading up to appearing on SNL.

During her first performance she kept her bump covered up, but when she returned to the stage, a camera panned down her to reveal her pregnant stomach as she performed her song Be Careful.

She wore a skin-tight white dress with long sleeves which clung to her bump.

The Sun reported how she was getting ready to reveal the news after it was leaked that she was pregnant.

When did Cardi B have her baby?

Cardi gave birth to her daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus on July 10, 2018.

The rapper posted on Instagram to announce the news.

The music star shared a picture of herself posing naked during her pregnancy along with a message revealing her daughter arrived on Tuesday.

She also disclosed the baby's name, simply writing: "Kulture Kiari Cephus 07/10/18 @offsetyrn."

Cardi B gave birth at a hospital in Atlanta, Georgia with Offset by her side.

They kept baby Kulture under wraps for many months, despite getting six-figure offers for her photos.

She finally shared a photo of her daughter on her Instagram account in December.

Who is her husband and the child's father, Offset?

Offset is an American hip hop artist, born on December 14, 1991.

His real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, and he is from Lawrenceville, Georgia.

Offset is best known as a member of the hip-hop and trap music trio Migos, alongside Takeoff and Quavo.

He is a father of three from previous relationships - two sons, Jordan and Kody, and a daughter Kalea Marie.

On June 26, 2018, Cardi B confirmed she married Offset NINE months ago after fan speculation reached fever pitch.

However, in December, Cardi revealed that their relationship had come to an end in an Instagram video.

In it, she said: "So everybody been bugging me about everything and you know I've been trying to work things out with my baby father for a hot minute now.

"We are really good friends and we are really good business partners - you know he's always somebody that I run to talk to, and we got a lot of love for each other but things just haven't been working out between us for a long time.

"It's nobody's fault I guess we just grew out of love but we are not together anymore.

"I don't know, it might take time to get a divorce and I'm going to always have a lot of love for him because he is my daughter's father..."

Why did Cardi keep her pregnancy a secret?

While the rumours were swirling, Cardi had been seen wearing roomy outfits to avoid suspicion.

After the reveal, she wrote on Instagram: "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."

Wendy Williams told the audience on her talk show the day before that Cardi was going to announce the news on Saturday Night Live.
