VIDEO: CARDI B'S MAGICAL PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENT ON LIVE TV
Singer, Cardi B has been known to do some strange things on camera and has even admitted that she has an outgoing personality which makes a lot of people raise their eyebrows. The artist has once again challenged society’s conventions and has officially announced her pregnancy on SNL.
There is a huge school of thought that instructs women to hold off on starting a family until they have established themselves on their career path. Cardi B's announcement represents a big step for young women who choose motherhood at the start of their careers – even as they are still often advised against it. This has created a huge discrepancy between women pursuing a career and waiting too long to start a family resulting in infertility or risky pregnancy due to age.
As Cardi B came on stage during the SNL show to sing Bodak Yellow and Bartier Card, the camera zoomed in on her face and shoulders and slowly panned out to reveal a tight white dress, showing off her baby bump. Fans filled her social media with congratulatory messages after she had been ducking and diving from rumours for months. Her bundle of joy is expected to arrive in July only two months before she is meant to perform in Bruno Mars’ "The 24K Magic Tour" on September the 7th, but she is confident that she will be able to maintain both aspects of her life successfully and still plans to perform at Coachella this month.
Offset, singer in the hip-hop trio, Migos, proposed to Cardi B on stage in October last year despite rumours of Offset’s cheating habits.
Who are we to judge her choices and even Cardi B herself tweeted “I started winning when the whole world was doubting on me !think imma lose with my little baby counting on me?”
