Cardi’s rollout has involved a bit of everything, including turning photos from her courthouse trips and civil lawsuit victory into alternate album covers and staying true to her NYC roots with subway skits promoting the album.

It’s been an enduring journey for Cardi B in the seven years between Invasion and Drama, but she’s proud of the growth she’s seen from herself during that time period.

“Since then, I’ve experienced a lot. The good and bad of fame, the hate, jealousy, drama, balancing my career with my personal life and growing up and maturing,” she told Billboard. “I’ve learned to control my emotions and understand how life works and how to play chess better.”

Cardi’s also carrying baby No. 4 with her, as she revealed her pregnancy during an interview with CBS Mornings‘ Gayle King on Wednesday (Sept. 17). It’s her first child with boyfriend and NFL star Stefon Diggs.

“Yes, I am [pregnant]. I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs,” Cardi told Gayle King on CBS Mornings. “I’m excited. I’m happy. I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work. But I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, and me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.”

After giving birth, she’ll be hitting the road in 2026 for the Little Miss Drama Tour, Cardi’s first solo headlining arena trek.
