Cardi B Reveals Pregnancy to Gayle King Before Her Parents in Emotional Interview

I was glued to my television set at 4:00 a.m., eagerly waiting for Cardi B’s appearance on CBS Mornings. The sit-down interview with Gayle King did not disappoint. In one of the most candid revelations of her career, Cardi B shared that as pregnant by her boyfriend and wide receiver for the New England Patriots, Stefon Diggs. She also revealed that she told King about her pregnancy before she even broke the news to her parents. She joked that she was scared of them.

After announcing that she as pregnant, she joking said,

By the way, now that I talked about it...Y'all better get my album. Y'all wanted to know...Y'all wanted to know, right? Now y'all know.

Now y'all could buy my album so I can buy Pampers and diapers and all that type of stuff. I told ya. Now go support my album, cause I'm a mother of four now.

Cardi lovingly expressed how Stefon Diggs made her feel strong, safe, and confident. She gushed and lit up as she relayed that Diggs told her, "Let me heal you. Give me a chance for me to heal you." It was a raw and vulnerable confession that underscored the unique bond between the rap superstar and the veteran journalist.

Cardi revealed that her baby is due ahead of her upcoming “Little Miss Drama Tour”, which kicks off in Palm Desert, California, on 11 February 2026. The North American arena tour will support her much-anticipated sophomore album Am I the Drama?, slated for release on 19 September 2025. This is also one of Devi Media's most anticipated album drops of the year. Fans can expect the live shows to feature Cardi’s unfiltered personality, humor, and high-energy stage presence, all the qualities that have cemented her as one of hip-hop’s most magnetic performers.

But true to form, Cardi isn’t just waiting for the release date to make headlines. Following her latest courtroom battle that dominated tabloids, she has flipped her challenges into an unforgettable promotional strategy. Channeling the raw hustle of hip-hop’s mixtape era, Cardi has been spotted selling CDs on the streets and even on public transportation, pulling copies straight from her waistband with a grin.

Even more hilarious and genius is her branding. Cardi calls these copies “Limited Court Edition CDs”, offering them to fans for just $9.99. The move feels both nostalgic and innovative: a throwback to old-school hip-hop hustle while also proving she can spin drama into lemonade and make it a cultural moment.

The sight of a global superstar moving CDs hand-to-hand in 2025 is not only a reminder of Cardi’s humor and resilience but also a reflection of her deep understanding of hip-hop culture’s roots. Just as she told Gayle King about her pregnancy before her parents, Cardi B continues to prove she’s unafraid to be vulnerable, unfiltered, and unconventional, all while making sure the world is watching.

With Am I the Drama? dropping this September and her baby due just months before the “Little Miss Drama Tour”, 2025 and 2026 are shaping up to be Cardi B’s most unforgettable years yet. Part two of Gayle King's interview with Cardi B. is tomorrow, 18 September 2025, 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) and 4:00 a.m. Pacific Time (PT). During this part of the interview, Cardi B discuses the recent lawsuit against her.
