Cardi B reveals moments “in labor” since the birth of her daughter

CardiB pulls back the curtain on one of the most intimate moments of his life. The Grammy-winning rapper surprised fans this week by sharing a never-before-seen photo of herself “in labor” with her third child, Blossom Belle Cephus, offering a raw glimpse into the moments leading up to her daughter’s birth in September 2024, the same year that also marked a major turning point in Cardi B’s personal life.

The newly released images show Cardi in a hospital setting, visibly exhausted but beaming, as she prepares to welcome Blossom Belle. The images, which have never been shared publicly before, capture the reality of giving birth, far from red carpets and stage lights.

Blossom’s arrival comes during an emotional time for the rapper. A few weeks before giving birth, Cardi filed for divorce of her ex-husband, Compensatemarking their second attempt to end the marriage after a brief reconciliation following their initial separation in 2020. The separation remains unresolved, with persistent disagreements on childcare and finances.

Cardi B has publicly expressed frustration with Offset’s financial demands, including tax and property disputes, while also raising concerns about his level of involvement as a parent.

While Blossom Belle is Cardi’s fourth child, her growing family doesn’t stop there. On November 4, Cardi and the NFL star Steve Diggs has quietly welcomed another baby (a son) whose name has not yet been revealed. This birth marked Diggs’ third child overall.

Diggs is already a father to 9-year-old daughter Nova, whom he shares with a former partner, as well as 7-month-old daughter Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera, whom he welcomed earlier this year with model Aileen Lopera.

As Stefon Diggs moves toward new fatherhood, his professional and personal life remains under intense scrutiny. The New England Patriots wide receiver is expected to take the field next Sunday when the Patriots take on the Los Angeles Chargers at Gillette Stadium in the first round of the playoffs. However, his return to football comes amid serious legal developments.

In November 2025, Cardi B marked a powerful turning point in her life with a deeply personal Instagram post celebrating the newest addition to her family and the shift in mindset that came with it. The media personality shared that becoming a mother again has a lot to do with her commitment to growing, not only personally, but also professionally.

“My final chapter was the start of a new season,” Cardi wrote on her Twitter account. Instagram. “Starting over is never easy, but it’s definitely worth it! I brought new music and a new album into the world! A new baby in my world and one more reason to be the best version of myself.”

She went on to explain that this phase of her life has given her an even stronger sense of self-love, emphasizing that prioritizing her own healing allows her to give her children the love and life they deserve.

Looking ahead, Cardi B has made it clear that she’s focusing on herself, viewing herself as her own competition as she prepares for what she described as the most ambitious chapter of her career yet. She revealed plans already in the works for what she promised would be the best tour and performance of her life.
