Rapper Cardi B has announced the birth of her fourth child, a baby boy, marking her first child with American football player Stefon Diggs.
The Grammy-winning artist shared the news on Instagram, celebrating both the arrival of her son and the release of her new album.
“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,” Cardi B wrote, adding that the new chapter inspires her to love herself and her family even more.
Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almánzar, shares three children with her estranged husband Offset, from whom she filed for divorce in July 2024.
A spokesperson confirmed to People magazine that the rapper gave birth to a healthy baby boy, though no further details were shared.
Diggs, who has been dating Cardi B for about a year, revealed the baby’s sex earlier this month during a red carpet appearance. “It’s a boy.
”That’s enough for me,” the New England Patriots wide receiver told People.
“I can’t wait to make him do push-ups and sit-ups and run around.”
This is Diggs’ second child, as he also has a nine-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
Cardi B hinted that the birth symbolizes a fresh start. Sharing a clip from her single Hello, she reflected on her split from Offset and emphasised her commitment to giving her children 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,” she wrote to her 163 million Instagram followers.
Cardi B also revealed she is preparing for a tour linked to her new album, focusing on her physical and mental readiness to deliver what she calls the “performance of a lifetime.”
“I’ve learned, I’ve healed, and I’m loving the woman I’ve become! That’s what this next era means to me, and I’m stepping into it better than ever,” she concluded.
