Cardi B made her first public appearance since welcoming her fourth baby, her first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs.
Cardi, 33, attended the Thursday, November 13, launch party for Cybex’s flagship store in New York City, dressing to impress in a black corset dress with knee-high boots and a wide-brimmed hat.
For glam, the Am I the Drama? rapper wore a smoky eye and styled her hair in a chic bob.
During the occasion, Cardi walked through the SoHo showroom with Cybex founder Martin Pos and participated in a ceremonial ribbon cutting.
Cardi B and Stefon Diggs’ Relationship Timeline
Cardi announced several hours earlier that she and Diggs, 31, welcomed their first baby together. (Cardi also shares three children with estranged husband Offset, while Diggs is a father of two daughters from past relationships.)
“My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons. My last chapter was the beginning of a new season,” Cardi wrote via Instagram on Thursday, sharing footage of her outfit for the Cybex party. “Starting over is never easy but it’s been so worth it! 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 so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve.”
She continued, “This next chapter is Me vs. Me! It’s me against all odds me against everything meant to get in my way. I’ve started prepping for tour, getting my body right, getting my mind right. There’s nothing that’s gonna stop me from giving you guys the performance of a lifetime! I’ve learned, I’ve healed, and I’m loving the woman I’ve become! That’s what this next era means to me and I’m stepping into it better than ever.”
Cardi B Says Stefon Diggs Was ‘Very Respectful’ of Her Past Relationship
Cardi and Diggs, who have been together since 2024, following her separation from 33-year-old Offset, announced in September that they had a baby on the way.
“I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong,” Cardi said on CBS Mornings. “I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work. But I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, and me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.”
She added, “He just makes me feel safe and very confident and very strong. I mean, like, two weeks ago, I was literally having a panic attack. I was, like, crying and crying and crying because I was just getting really nervous with the whole album rollout. People were coming at me very hard. You know, sometimes people love you, people hate you. And people was just saying very mean things about me. He makes me feel very confident, and it makes you feel like you could take over the world.”
Offset Reacted to Ex Cardi B’s Pregnancy Weeks Before Her Announcement
Days later, the New England Patriots athlete was asked about Cardi’s pregnancy during a press conference.
“Oh, my personal life?” he quipped to reporters inquiring about “the baby rumors” making headlines at the time. “I told you about that. We won’t talk too much about my personal life, but I heard about that.”
Diggs later revealed in a separate press conference earlier this month that he and Cardi were expecting a baby boy. Neither Cardi nor Diggs have announced their son’s name.
