In a recent interview, she revealed the “dark energy” she faced during her pregnancy and the challenges in her marriage to Offset. The Bodak Yellow hitmaker shared raw insights into fame, motherhood, and love under constant public scrutiny.
Pregnancy Struggles in the Public Eye
Cardi B (real name: Belcalis Almánzar) welcomed her son Wave with Offset in 2021, but her second pregnancy was marred by negativity.
“Pregnancy is already hard—your body changes, your emotions are all over the place. But when you’re famous, people feel entitled to comment on everything,” Cardi admitted. “I’d post a picture and get hate about my weight, my relationship, my choices. It’s like people wanted me to be miserable.”
She revealed the toll of online criticism: “I had days where I just cried. You try to stay strong, but sometimes that dark energy gets to you.” Her transparency highlights the unseen pressures on celebrity mothers.
Love & Drama with Offset
Cardi B and Offset’s relationship has weathered infidelity rumors and public drama since their 2017 marriage. Addressing their challenges, she said:
“Love is hard enough, but when millions are watching and waiting for you to fail, it’s a different kind of pressure.” Despite past turmoil, the couple prioritizes co-parenting their kids, Kulture (5) and Wave (2). “We’ve been through hell and back, but we’re a family. We’re not perfect, but we’re trying.”
How Cardi B Protects Her Peace
To combat negativity, Cardi leans on meditation, prayer, and social media breaks. “You have to protect your energy because people will drain you if you let them,” she advised. Her honesty about mental health resonates with fans seeking authenticity in curated celebrity culture.
What’s Next for Cardi B?
Amid personal challenges, Cardi is working on new music and advocating for women’s rights. “I’m not just an artist—I’m a mother, a wife, a businesswoman. I have to keep pushing,” she declared.
