Cardi B finally confirmed she is pregnant while performing as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live last night.

The “Bartier Cardi” rapper, whose new album is expected to debut at the number one spot, has been dodging pregnancy rumors and trying to hide her baby bump for months now. TMZ first reported news of her pregnancy back in February. 

Cardi chose to set the bump free while performing her new single “Be Careful” in a form-fitting white ensemble that showed off all her curves.

Her fiance Offset tweeted a message to Cardi soon after, saying the the coupled looked “forward to our next chapter together.”

Her first child is reportedly due in July.
