NEW YORK.—US rap star Cardi B has welcomed her fourth child – her first with American footballer Stefon Diggs.
The Grammy winner shared news of the baby boy’s arrival on Instagram, writing:
“I brought new music and a new album to the world! A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else.”
Last month, Cardi B released her long-awaited sophomore album — Am I The Drama?—issuing a public plea for people to buy it so she can afford nappies.
The hip hop superstar —real name Belcalis Almánzar — shares three children with her estranged husband Offset. She filed for divorce from the Migos rapper in July last year.
Cardi B did not share details about the child’s birth, but her spokesperson told People magazine on Thursday that Cardi had a baby boy and is “healthy and happy”.
Diggs, whom the rapper has been dating for about a year, revealed the child’s sex during a red-carpet event earlier this month.
“It’s a boy. That’s enough for me,” the New England Patriots wide receiver told People at the time. “I can’t wait to make him do push-ups and sit-ups and run around.”
This is the second child for Diggs, who has a 9-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.—BBC
