Cardi B stepped up as a headliner at the 2025 Global Citizen Festival after The Weeknd pulled out just four days before his scheduled slot, citing “personal reasons.” On the night of the show, she performed four tracks: “Outside,” “ErrTime,” “Bodak Yellow,” and “I Like It.” She also revealed her baby bump, captured in photos by Complex, while wearing baggy jeans and a Vale Forever motocross jacket. At one point, she took off the jacket and showed the bump to the crowd gathered at Central Park’s Great Lawn.

Cardi had confirmed her pregnancy on September 17, only two days before releasing her second album Am I The Drama? This baby will be her fourth child overall and her first with her boyfriend Stefon Diggs.

She also made it clear that her pregnancy will not interfere with her upcoming Little Miss Drama Tour. Fans had been worried about possible cancellations, since her first planned arena run never materialized due to her pregnancy with her eldest child. Still, Cardi’s own reassurance and her vibrant set at Global Citizen point to very encouraging signs for fans eager to see her perform live.

Is Cardi B Pregnant?

This year’s Global Citizen Festival also brought sets from Shakira, Tyla, and Ayra Starr, alongside appearances from actors, politicians, and other public figures. Once again, the event proved to be a successful night of music and fundraising.

Cardi’s tour kicks off in February, with rehearsals set to begin soon. Musically, she has not slowed down since releasing her new album. She has already dropped a couple of fresh tracks, including “Don’t Do Too Much” and a Latto-assisted remix of “ErrTime.”

Freddie Jackson, the R'n'B singer behind You Are My Lady and Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake), has died at the age of 70.

He passed away on Monday (05.10.26), just three days after celebrating his 70th birthday. A cause of death has not been announced.

Announcing his death on social media, his family wrote: "It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Freddie Jackson, who went home to rest last night.

"Freddie was more than a legendary voice. He was a kind, generous soul who loved his fans, his family, his friends, and his music with everything he had. For decades, he gave us the songs that became the soundtrack to our love stories, our celebrations, and our most treasured memories. That gift will live on forever.

"To everyone who ever sang along, danced, or felt something when Freddie took the stage: thank you. You were family to him, and he carried your love with him always.

"Please keep his family, friends, and loved ones in your prayers during this difficult time. Details regarding arrangements and how to honor his legacy will be shared in the coming days.

"Rest in peace, Freddie. Your legacy and your voice will live on forever."

Freddie began his professional music journey in the late 1970s as a member of California funk band Mystic Merlin. He later moved back to the East Coast and found his direction in R'n'B.

A string of successful releases in the mid 1980s established him as one of the genre’s leading singers. Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake), You Are My Lady, Have You Ever Loved Somebody, Jam Tonight and Do Me Again became some of his best known songs and earned him a lasting presence on the US charts.

His career also extended to cinema. He joined Irene Cara for the duet Love Survives, featured in the 1989 animated film All Dogs Go to Heaven, and later made an acting appearance in the cult crime drama King of New York.

Freddie continued making music for decades, with his last album, Love Signals, arriving in 2018. He followed it in 2020 with Why, a single addressing racial injustice.
