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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
