Cardi B shocked her fans during the BET Awards on Sunday when she revealed that she is pregnant with her second child. The artist confirmed her pregnancy during the live television event from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, showing off her baby bump while joining Migos to perform their Culture III song “Type S**t.”
Cardi also went to Instagram to break the big news.
