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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
