Cardi B, whose birth name is Belcalis Almanzar, added: “I’m excited. I’m happy. I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work, but I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby. Me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other. We’re like in the same space in our careers.”
When King inquired about what Cardi B meant by saying she and Diggs are in the same space in their careers, she had this to say:
“You know what it is, I feel like we’re really great and [each are] one of the best at what we do, and me and him think the same way. It’s like, ‘Yeah, we’re one of the greatest, but what’s next? … Do it again.’ We have to do it again, all the time. We’re never comfortable. We just want to keep doing it, and that’s just how we both are.”
Cardi B is already a mother of three children. She had two daughters and a son with rapper Offset, whom she was previously married to. In 2024, Cardi B announced that she filed for divorce.
