The Personal Journey Behind the Music

In an interview with Billboard, Cardi B reflected on her growth since 2018’s Invasion of Privacy. “Since then, I’ve experienced a lot. The good and bad of fame, the hate, jealousy, drama, balancing my career with my personal life and growing up and maturing,” she said. “I’ve learned to control my emotions and understand how life works and how to play chess better.”

Her ability to turn personal highs and lows into relatable, hard-hitting tracks has always been her superpower — and Am I the Drama? Pushes that narrative forward.

Big Announcements: Pregnancy & Tour

Adding to the excitement, Cardi B confirmed she’s pregnant with her fourth child, her first with NFL star Stefon Diggs. The news broke during her CBS Mornings interview with Gayle King, where Cardi said she felt “strong, powerful, and supported” while balancing motherhood and music.

Once she welcomes the new baby with Stefon Diggs, Cardi B is set to hit the road in 2026 for her first-ever solo headlining arena trek: The Little Miss Drama Tour.
