Cardi B isn’t here for the impossible beauty expectations the internet loves to place on new mothers.
The 33-year-old artist took to X Spaces on Saturday (Nov. 15) with a fiery message for what she calls the “fake concerned people” critiquing her post-baby appearance, according to Complex.
The “Am I the Drama?” rapper, who just welcomed her fourth child and her first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs, addressed the wave of chatter that followed her appearance at a New York City event last Thursday.
She shared that she had actually been at home recovering with her newborn and had only stepped out briefly to fulfill an obligation.
“You don’t even know when I gave birth to my kid,” she said, noting that the event lasted all of an hour.
“Y’all took one event that I went to for one hour… literally probably even less, because my obligation was to be there for 30 minutes.”
The “Don’t Do Too Much” artist recalled how hard it was for her, dealing with postpartum depression, after her daughter Kulture’s birth in 2018, sharing that she “was at home for three months” and dealing with “the worst postpartum,” an experience she said left her genuinely “traumatized.”
She explained to those tuned in to her Spaces that with later pregnancies, she often felt waves of sadness and had to rebuild her sense of self little by little. Sometimes that meant getting her hair done. Sometimes it meant shopping or slowly re-entering the workforce.
These weren’t glam moments for the timeline, but moments that reminded her she was still a person underneath the pressure and became a routine in helping her protect her mental health.
Bed rest, she admitted, left her “crying almost for everything.”
She shared that she recently put on a faja for the first time after giving birth, explaining she didn’t put it on right away when she gave birth.
What the Grammy Award-winner takes issue with is the people claiming she is suddenly outside, living it up.
“I’m slowly starting to get in the rhythm of me, and it makes me feel good. I don’t like how you b*tches are like, ‘Oh, she’s outside, she’s doing this,’” she said.
“Y’all have not seen me in a club, y’all have not seen me out on a dinner, y’all have not seen me doing shit, but y’all ignore all the story posts of me with my kids.”
The Bronx native continued, adding that while she may not show her newborn online, she has been with him every single day. She expressed to the audience that she’s not going to post videos of her baby, but clarified that she’s “been with my baby all day long.”
“In the morning time, I give my nanny a lot of breaks, hours of breaks. I sleep with him in the daytime, I feed him. I’m with my kids all day long. I live with my kids,” she elaborated.
