Cardi B debuts baby bump during Global Citizen Festival show

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.”

Ice Spice Appears on Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign’s ‘New Body,’ New Report Says

If you are a hip-hop listener who keeps up with leaks and unreleased records, you have likely come across Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s “New Body.” The track has been floating around since 2018 and also includes a feature from Nicki Minaj. Despite ongoing requests over the years, Nicki has continued to decline clearance for its official release.

For a long time, Ye and Ty have held onto the record, hoping the circumstances would eventually align for it to drop. Years have passed since it first surfaced, and many fans have already accepted that it may never see an official release in its original form. In recent developments, Ty Dolla $ign briefly gave listeners some renewed optimism during a livestream. In the clip being shared online, he plays the track before quickly cutting it once an unidentified female verse comes in. The voice stands out immediately, and it is clearly not Nicki Minaj. Instead, many listeners believe it sounds similar to Ice Spice.

While some people might interpret this as a replacement of Nicki Minaj, it is worth remembering that she has repeatedly made it clear she does not want her verse released. Because of that, it would not be surprising if Ye and Ty explored other options to complete the record. Bringing in a newer viral artist would be a natural alternative given the situation.

Did Ice Spice Replace Nicki Minaj?

Even though the situation may look like a subtle shift away from Nicki, it is important to note that her contribution was never cleared for release. That leaves room for the possibility that a new verse could be used instead. The idea of tapping someone like Ice Spice would also fit the current trend of collaborating with rising artists who have strong online momentum.

At this point, it is still unclear when or even if this updated version of the song was recorded. There is also no confirmation on whether it will ever be officially released. If it does eventually drop, it would likely spark major discussion among fans who have been following the track’s long and complicated history.
