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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
