Cardi B revealed that she’s pregnant with her second child at the 2021 BET Awards, and social media was abuzz with excitement over the unexpected announcement.
The rapper showed off her pregnant belly while onstage with Migos during Sunday night’s (June 27) show.
“Me chillin expecting a normal performance,” one person tweeted, posting a screenshot from Cardi’s performance on SNL in 2018, when she revealed her first pregnancy, right next to one from the BET Awards in 2021.
“One thang bout Cardi, she gon debut her baby bump on stage! Period,” another noted.
“that’s how you pop out,” wrote another fan, along with a classic GIF of Da’Vonne’s memorable exit from Big Brother. “like surprise biiiiiihhhh.”
Cardi’s last pregnancy announcement came around the time that she released her debut studio album, Invasion of Privacy. That timeline left some fans hopeful that Cardi expecting again could indicate a release date for her sophomore album is on the horizon.
“Cardi B is pregnant. That means an album soon,” they predicted.
