Cardi B has announced the birth of her third child with a selection of very personal images from her hospital bed.

The WAP rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, announced her pregnancy with her third child in August shortly after filing for divorce from her husband Offset.

The 31-year-old, who is also mum to daughter Kulture and son Wave, has now revealed that she has given birth and wasn’t afraid to share some revealing images.

Cardi captioned the carousel of images on Instagram: ‘The prettiest lil thing 🌸🌸 9/7/24 💖💖💖’

She then shared candid shots from the delivery room including a snap that appeared to show the rapper in active labour as her face was contorted in pain and her legs were held out to the side.

She also shared sweet images of herself breastfeeding the newborn and gazing lovingly at the baby.

One video also showed Offset cradling the newborn and giving skin-to-skin contact as voices could be heard saying that the baby was trying to nurse on her father’s nipple.

Cardi and Offset first started dating in 2017, and married in September of that year.

Reports have suggested that Cardi has now acquired a lawyer and is seeking a divorce from the father of her children.

This isn’t the first time the couple has split and it was reported in 2020 that Cardi submitted documents to end their marriage – but the matter was later dropped.

The couple has yet to confirm their current relationship status.

The rap artist previously revealed that during her third pregnancy she was left ‘literally paralysed’ in a freak accident that almost caused a miscarriage.

In a message in an X spaces chat, the musician revealed: ‘I had a f*****g freak accident. That’s what I have to explain I don’t know how something – well, it wasn’t little, it actually hurt.

‘It doesn’t really happen often, but it became so big to the point I was literally paralysed.

‘And that little thing almost cost me my little one to come. But it didn’t.’
