Cardi B has welcomed her first child with boyfriend Stefon Diggs. The “I Like It” rapper is now a mother of four, as she announced the news on Instagram on Thursday.
“My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons,” she wrote with a video of herself showing off her post-baby physique in a black miniskirt and coat.
“My last chapter was the beginning of a new season. Starting over is never easy but it’s been so worth it! I brought new music and a new album to the world! A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve.”

“This next chapter is Me vs. Me! It’s me against all odds me against everything meant to get in my way.”
The rapper mentioned that she has, however, begun “prepping” for her forthcoming tour.
“There’s nothing thats gonna stop me from giving you guys the performance of a life time!” she continued. “I’ve learned i’ve healed, and im loving the woman i’ve become! Thats what this next era means to me and i’m stepping into it better than.”
TMZ reported that the 33-year-old hitmaker had given birth to a son “last week.” Speculation that she had welcomed her fourth child intensified on Thursday after footage reportedly surfaced showing her exercising at a New Jersey gym.
The short clip obtained by TMZ featured Cardi B, perfectly styled in black workout clothes, sitting on a weight bench. The “WAP” rapper was wearing earphones and scrolling on her smartphone.
Cardi B had announced her pregnancy with the 31-year-old NFL star back in September.
She told Gayle King during an appearance on CBS Mornings at the time, “I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work. But I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.”
She credited Diggs with providing stability as she prepares her next album, “Am I The Drama?” which features the song “Safe.” Cardi B also shared with the outlet that she and Diggs are equally driven, both striving to be “the greatest” in their respective professions.
During the same interview, she joked, “By the way, now that I talk about it, y’all better buy my album so I can buy Pampers and diapers and all that stuff. I felt like can I just say it on my own time? I’m not hiding.”
The Grammy-winning rapper also shared that the baby’s arrival was anticipated before the commencement of her “Little Miss Drama Tour” in February 2026.
This newest member joins Cardi’s three children with her estranged husband, Offset, 33. The former couple, who split in 2024, co-parent daughter Kulture, 7, and son Wave, 3, along with daughter Blossom, 1, whom Cardi welcomed after their separation.
