Naysayers worried about how Cardi B’s pregnancy will affect her career can worry about themselves now because the rapper completely shut it down at Coachella. 

Cardi’s pregnancy didn’t slow her down as she performed songs from her hit debut album, Invasion of Privacy. TMZ reports she also brought artists Chance the Rapper, Kehlani, 21 Savage, YG and G-Eazy out for surprise cameos.

The rapper announced the pregnancy during her recent Saturday Night Live debut, showing off her baby bump in a cute white dress. 

Cardi, who currently has the number one album in the country, has yet to reveal the baby’s gender but her sister may have let it slip earlier this month.

The rapper also made headlines earlier this month when she got candid about her plastic surgery. Speaking with GQ about her illegal butt injections, she said, “They don’t numb your ass with anything. It was the craziest pain ever. I felt like I was gonna pass out. I felt a little dizzy. And it leaks for, like, five days.” Cardi added she got the injections in a basement in Queens, NY for $800.
