Cardi B has finally put fan theories to bed by revealing she’s pregnant with her fourth child.
For weeks, fans have had a sneaky suspicion the rapper could be expecting... again.
It's been a rather busy time for the 32-year-old, not least of all because her second studio album, 'Am I the Drama?', is due to drop this Friday (September 19), but a lot of her efforts have been poured into showing up to court after a security guard accused her of assault.
Cardi took the internet by storm in her famous courthouse appearances, from switching up her wigs every day to her frank and rather blunt remarks.

The incident unfolded back in 2018 from outside an obstetrician's office, during which the singer was pregnant and was keeping the secret under wraps from the public at the time.
The star claimed the bodyguard, Emani Ellis, filmed her on her phone when an altercation took place that she insisted was verbal.
However, Ellis filed to sue her on allegations of assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
A jury eventually cleared the New York star of the allegations, which she celebrated stating: "I work all day and I work hard for my money, for my kids, for the people that I take care of. So don't you ever think that you're going to sue me, and I'm just going to settle."
Yet eagle-eyed fans noted she was walking 'gingerly' down the Los Angeles County Superior Court steps and required assistance from her bodyguard to get in her car, all while sporting baggy clothes.
Now, she's put the rumors to bed by revealing on CBS Mornings that she is indeed expecting her fourth child.
When asked by anchor Gayle King if she had anything to say about the swirling speculation, Cardi simply said with a smile: "Well yes... I am having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs."
It'll be the first child between the 31-year-old NFL star and the 'Bodak Yellow' singer. They publicly revealed their relationship in October last year after Cardi finalized her divorce with Offset, whom she shares three children with.
“I’m excited. I’m happy,” she continued. "I feel like I'm in a good space. I feel very strong, very powerful that I’m doing all this work—but I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby.”
"Me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other,” Cardi gushed on her relationship. “We’re like in the same space in our careers... We’re never, like, comfortable. We just have to keep going it and that’s just what we are.”
As for what took her so long making the big announcement, the 'WAP' hitmaker said she wanted to do it all on her own terms, and seemingly get the court drama out of the way.
"I just was like, ‘Can I just say it on my own time?’ Like, I’m not hiding," she explained. “Let me close some deals first, you know what I’m saying?”
The singer has also been busy promoting her new album, cropping up in major cities across the US for fan meet-and-greets while dropping details of her first-ever arena tour for February next year.
"By the way, now that I talked about it, y’all better get my album," Cardi jibed in a nod to her on-going social media campaign to persuade fans to buy CDs and vinyls of the new record.
"Now y’all can buy my album so I can buy Pampers and diapers and all that type of stuff. I told y’all, now go support my album ’cause I’m a mother of four now!"
