Cardi B Promises Pregnancy Won’t Affect Her Upcoming Tour: ‘I’ll Be Doing Splits, Somersaults’
Cardi B‘s announcement that she and boyfriend Stefon Diggs are expecting a baby came as a big shock to fans, especially because the rapper had revealed plans to embark on a rigorous tour just one day prior.

But in an X post on Wednesday (Sept. 17) — just hours after her pregnancy reveal on CBS Mornings — Cardi assured her fans that her pregnancy won’t affect her performance abilities when it comes time to hit the road in February. “Thank you everybody for the love and support,” the musician began.
“By the time tour comes I’ll be doing splits, somersaults backflips and handstands,” she continued. “I want this really bad and I’m on a very strict plan … trust me I’m determined to give my fans the best album AND tour experience!!”
The message comes one day after Cardi revealed the route for her trek slated for 2026, which will find the hitmaker playing 30 dates across North America. Before that, she teased the tour on The Jennifer Hudson Show, sharing, “I’m already preparing for it. I’m at the gym, and I’m taking dance classes already.”
Her comments about the physicality of her upcoming tour plans made it extra surprising when, Wednesday morning, she told Gayle King that she and a certain NFL star were starting a family together. “Yes, I am [pregnant],” she said on the ABC morning show. “I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs … I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, and me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.”
Cardi — who also shares three kids with estranged husband Offset — is also gearing up to release a new album. Titled Am I the Drama?, the follow-up to her debut LP Invasion of Privacy will arrive Friday (Sept. 19).
