Cardi B Shares Painful Effects of Pregnancy With Baby No. 3

As a bystander to this rollercoaster ride that is Cardi B and Offset’s relationship, it’s hard not to feel like I’m watching a reality TV show unfold before my eyes. With their on-again, off-again romance, they’ve given us a masterclass in the art of keeping fans guessing.


Cardi B has almost had enough of these pregnancy symptoms. 

It was revealed that the musician known for her hit “I Like It” is expecting her third child with her separated spouse, Offset, and it seems that their pregnancy journey has not been smooth sailing.

31-year-old Cardi (whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar) promptly dismissed a rumor about skin bleaching when someone brought it up on X, nipping it in the bud.

“Bleaching while pregnant?” she wrote on X Aug. 21. “Why must yall be so dumb ? Actually NO !”

In reality, Cardi B, who declared her pregnancy on the very same day she filed for divorce from Offset, made it clear to everyone what was true.

She mentioned, “I’m pregnant and somewhat anemic. This baby is draining so much energy from my body that I’ve become quite pale, with sunken eyes and greenish veins. I can’t tan because I get hot very quickly and feel dizzy…PLEASE STOP THINKING WITH YOUR HEAD!” (In a polite manner)

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must say, it’s disheartening to witness such lack of respect towards pregnant women. It’s appalling that some people find it acceptable to behave in such a manner. Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, and every woman deserves respect throughout this transformative phase. It’s simply gross and unacceptable.

Another added, “I couldn’t keep anything down with my baby and it made me look super pale and swollen. Don’t stress yourself with this trolls. Praying for a safe and smooth delivery.”

Cardi, who is a mother to 6-year-old daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus and 2-year-old son Wave Set Cephus with Offset, has been quite transparent about her pregnancy journey. This transparency extends to disclosing the reasons behind her and the former Migos member (whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus) deciding to part ways.

“Every conclusion marks the start of a fresh chapter! On August 1st, she expressed her heartfelt gratitude for journeying through this phase together. You’ve showered me with love, energy, and above all, rekindled my strength! You’ve reminded me that I am capable of achieving it all!”

For me, as a lifestyle expert, I’d say: Expanding our family by welcoming a new member became a significant milestone in my journey as an artist, much like the evolution of my hit song “Please Me.”

She went on saying, “You’ve made me realize that I don’t have to sacrifice life, love, or my passion! I adore you immensely and am eager for you to see what you’ve helped me achieve, what you’ve inspired me to undertake. It may seem simpler to just go with the flow through life’s ups and downs, but you, your brother, and sister have demonstrated the importance of persevering!”

In December 2019, Cardi B and her daughter Kulture graced the cover of Vogue magazine, with the renowned Grammy winner sharing insights about her husband’s unfaithfulness in the issue.

“I believe in forgiveness,” she told the magazine. “I prayed on it. Me and my husband, we prayed on it. We had priests come to us. And we just came to an understanding like, bro, it’s really us against the world.”

As a lifestyle advocate, I’d put it this way: “I stand by him in all aspects, and he does the same for me. This unwavering support extends to every facet of our lives. So, when dishonesty rears its head in the form of infidelity, you’re not just hurting the one who stands by you the most, but also betraying the trust that binds us. I find it hard to comprehend such actions. For me, the path of monogamy is the only one I choose, and I wouldn’t hesitate to take a firm stance against any unfaithfulness.”
