Nothing confirmed Cardi B’s pregnancy louder than the SNL performance of her single “Be Careful”, which debuted last month.

The New York City native performed in a stunning Christian Siriano baby-bump hugging white gown and wore her hair in a glamorous up-do.

Below is the video of Cardi’s performance:

When the camera zooms out at around 2:34, you can see Cardi’s baby bump is totally there. The crowd cheered and social media went wild.

Viewers were excited and in shock. According to PopCrush, one fan Tweeted:

Many fans were supportive, calling out that the pregnancy did not stop her success on the charts.

Although supportive, some fans asked, "Why Now?" during the first suspicions of her pregnancy.

Rumors of Offset cheating didn't help either.

But at the end of the day, if 50 Cent has your back, what else is needed?

And we can’t forget the supportive re-post from Rihanna:


In spite of her pregnancy, Cardi will go on to perform at Coachella as well as the other festivities where she is slotted to perform in upcoming months. Because her baby is expected to arrive in July, fans might see one or two cancellations. We know Coachella is safe--in an interview, Cardi talks about how much she paid for her Coachella stage set, and rather candidly, I might add.

Overall, I’m super excited for Cardi B, and love the fact that she was able to essentially “hide” her pregnancy from the media until she was ready to announce it on her terms. Of course, there have been speculations, but she was able to play them off and keep us guessing, which was entertaining in and of itself. We’ve seen huge stars like Beyoncé and Adele who have successfully kept their family life private, and it’s something to spoken about when an emerging artist like Cardi B, with similar levels of fame, can accomplish such privacy, too.

Ronda Racha Penrice points out that Cardi B's backlash comes from the history of working women being judged for starting a family on what seems like the "height" of their career. I am glad we are living in a generation where the "right time" to start a career and a family is finally being viewed as the woman's right to choose.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
