Rapper Cardi B has confirmed she is expecting a child with another partner, stressing that her decision is not unusual and insisting she will not let her complicated marriage situation hold her back.
“Yes, I’m having a baby with somebody else. So what? That happens. It’s life,” Cardi declared in a candid message addressing critics.
The Grammy winner explained that she followed convention the first time by falling in love and committing to marriage: “I did things the correct way the first time. I fell in love. I got two rings on my finger. I lasted seven years. Seven years that I didn’t have to last with somebody else. I lasted seven years in a marriage.”
Responding to claims that she is still tied to her estranged husband, Cardi clarified her legal status: “Stop saying, oh, but you’re still married. No, I’m legally separated. The only reason why I’m still married is because somebody wants me to pay for their taxes.”
She revealed that divorce proceedings have been delayed by financial disputes: “The only way I can get out of my marriage is if I pay for somebody else’s taxes, even though I pay for my own, and give them one of my properties. I’m f+ghting for that. I’m going to f+ght for that. This is not no love sh+t.”
Cardi made it clear she refuses to pause her life because of contractual delays, declaring: “I’m not going to stop living my life because on a contract, I’m practically still married because somebody want to hold me hostage if I don’t give them millions of dollars to get out of it. Yes, I’m happy.”
Her remarks have sparked widespread reactions online, with fans divided over her bold announcement and her ongoing b+ttle to exit her marriage on her own terms.
