As the resident Cardi B stan here at The Root, I fully understand that not everyone is here for her, and not everyone has an appreciation for her style.

Cardi B fans rejoice! The new mom has announced her first performance after giving birth to her daughter Kulture, and it will be at the Mala Luna Festival in San Antonio, Texas, this October.

Looks like rap royalty Cardi B and husband Offset are already planning for their little princess to be a future mogul; according to documents obtained by The Blast, the new parents recently filed to trademark their 1-month-old daughter’s name.

There are certain life events you simply can’t comprehend until you’ve experienced them—as Cardi B recently discovered when she gave birth to daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus on July 10. Since the blessed event, Cardi has reluctantly cancelled her tour with Bruno Mars, and in a recent series of IG stories, explains…

Black people can’t have anything.

When we first learned Cardi B was pregnant, we were told her plan was to have her baby, take six weeks off to rest and bond with her newborn, and then join Bruno Mars on his fall tour.

Rapper Offset of rap trio Migos (and recent proud papa of Kulture Kiari with wife Cardi B) was reportedly arrested for gun possession on Friday afternoon.

Apparently, nothing’s too good for rap royalty’s newest little princess, including a custom-made crib topped with a crown, which Cardi B showed off to her Instagram fans on Thursday.

The MTV Video Music Awards, like others, are highly anticipated each year. We keep a special close eye out to see how our fave black artists are represented during these award shows and thankfully, we weren’t disappointed this year.

Updated: Thursday, July 12, 2018, 6:10 p.m. EDT: According to TMZ, Minaj did not send a gift, after all—or at least, not one from Petit Trésor. Despite multiple reports that a source from the boutique had confirmed the gift, TMZ reports:

As you by now likely know, our favorite regular, shmegular, degular diva, Cardi B, announced that she’s officially a mom by posting a never-before-seen pregnancy pic to Instagram on Wednesday morning with the simple caption “Kulture Kiari Cephus 07/10/18.”

Two years ago, I wrote a thing asking which was the single blackest last name. After an intense vet involving census results, personal recollections, proximities to yams, and even a consultation from an Adam Clayton Powell hologram, the list was narrowed to four: Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, and Jenkins.

She’s heeeeerrrre! Cardi B announced the birth of her daughter on Wednesday, her first child with her husband, Offset. Bartier Cardi announced the baby’s arrival and the child’s name via Instagram.

Back in April, news broke that Cardi B’s former manager Klenord “Shaft” Raphael had filed a $10 million lawsuit against her—claiming, among other things, that he was responsible for her meteoric rise to the top of the charts and that she had repaid his efforts by giving him, well, the shaft as it were.

Dear Page Six:

There are perks to having Cardi B’s number on your phone—one of which, apparently, is getting out of a possible traffic ticket.

Hey y’all, it’s me, the resident Cardi B stan at The Root. While your “queen”* spent her weekend generally being a jerk, wealth-shaming people and getting bloggers fired just for offering a valid critique of her work, my queen spent her weekend being pregnant and fabulous—and breaking records on the Billboard list.

Few contemporary stars switch up their looks more dramatically or with more regularity than Cardi B, who, in her very brief time in the limelight, has given us more transformations than we can count. Thankfully, we don’t have to, since Allure got Cardi’s makeup artist Erika La’Pearl to give us a retrospective rundown…

Leave it to Cardi B to give us an over-the-top baby shower to offset (see what I did there?) our dismay over missing her secret wedding last year. Not that we didn’t see it coming; after all, the star teased the big event in the couple’s recent interview with Rolling Stone:

Apparently, rap couple Cardi B and Offset were secretly married last year! After doing some digging, TMZ found a Sept. 20, 2017, marriage certificate (pdf) from Fulton County, Ga., for the rappers.
