Of all places TMZ? Unless she confirms it then I'm not going to believe anything. And please stop with the sexist comments about her ruining her career if she's pregnant. If she were a man no one would say stupid s**t like that. She'll be fine as long as she continues to want to hustle and has the same team in place afterwards.

However one looks at it, it will stack the deck against her quite a bit if she is pregnant this early in her career. No point in denying it, however unfair that truth may be.
Kreayshawn (sp?) got dropped 4 days after telling her label she was pregnant. Granted, Cardi's in a MUCH better position than Kreayshawn ever was and on a much nicer label. But still, that's the kind of motherf**kers Cardi is doing business with right now; it's nothing for a label to write a female artist off and move on to the next. So it's not sexism from any individuals per se (at least from me; I'm just rudely flippant about kids and I want this chick to drop albums, not babies) but concern about sexism in the industry itself. #metoo hasn't set its sights on maternity leave yet.
As for Cardi herself, I always got the feeling that she craved a sense of family and being wifed up more than she did rap superstardom. So she may put her career on ice herself before anyone else's sexism can even come into play because the baby and Offset make her happy enough, and that in turn would make an attempted comeback a year or more from now harder because people move on so quickly these days. If that's how she decides to go about it, I totally respect that (pro-choice works both ways!), but I selfishly am hoping she feels differently at this moment (or that she is not pregnant at all).
In theory she could "Beyonce" this first era - finish it pronto and film all videos in advance; release album in May. The label can push singles out while Cardi does nothing more than take cute baby bump pics for the 'gram and do a few interviews here and there. Cardi is (supposedly) due in June so when she goes on tour with Bruno in September, she'll have new songs to perform. Bring baby out on stage for an adorable photo op! I can see her fans being totally into mommy Cardi as long as Cardi shows that's she still totally into putting out music. BUT this all assumes that she is still into putting out music, and that she has enough album-ready material by May, and that she will be in the shape/mood to tour and promote anything that soon after giving birth. That's so many assumptions.
TMZ is gross, but their gossip accuracy rate tends to be decent. I should look up old/new pics of Cardi to see for myself though. The bridge of the nose is usually the first giveaway, but I haven't been paying that close attention to know what her nose normally looks like.

Plenty of celebs deny they're pregnant at first. Tbh, she does look pregnant. And she's been wearing convenient & oversized clothes that cover up her bump. She's probably weighing out all her options right now. You can really tell in this video. http://instagram.com/p/BfCahhBFCr_

If she were a man no one would say stupid s**t like that. She'll be fine as long as she continues to want to hustle and has the same team in place afterwards. You’re 100% right. If she were a man, she wouldn’t negatively impact her career because pregnancy doesn’t treat both sexes equally, and every industry on this planet propagates that disparity. Let’s not kid ourselves and think that a pregnancy isn’t detrimental to the career of a female, let alone the career of a female in the enterntainment industry where your expiry date comes exponentially faster than your male counterparts.

Cardi has already denied this rumor though? As long as she's already on her way to the clinic I'm okay with being wrong We don't deserve you As a fan of Charisma Uniqueness Nerve and Talent, I don't want Cardi to leave us for motherhood so quickly but if that's what she wants good for her. Having said that, we need to be able to discuss abortion being an option casually and stop treating it like a stigma. No one is arguing she should have one if she doesn't want one, but that it's a convenient option and that a lot of women who have unplanned/unwanted pregnancies usually only end up completing their pregnancy because they don't consider abortion an option. Her career is sky-rocketing right now and she's working like crazy, so it's hard to imagine this is planned. It's sad to think of someone with so much potential (especially a black female rapper who is being celebrated for her authentic self in ways we've rarely seen before) peak so quickly because she felt like she had no other option but to become a mother. there's a big difference between hoping she gets an abortion because you want her to keep entertaining you(no one is saying this lmfao), and wanting her to be able to get one because she doesn't deserve to stuck at home taking care of some brat if she doesn't want that yet but feels trapped into. I'm not a woman, but I've seen what someone goes through when they get pregnant at the worst time possible and have so much stigma/darkness associated with abortion, and I know if it wasn't treated as an unspeakable word/option their experience with it would have been a hell of a lot less traumatic. Anyway, if she does end up having the kid I could see her still finding a way to stay in the spotlight. Times are changing, it wouldn't be the same but with social media now and women being celebrated I think it's possible it wouldn't be the exact career killer it looks like now. Oprah and Becky thank you for doing the lords work helping decrease the stigma, it's much needed.

This album has to be close to done though right? She's been working on it since BY started taking off. Even if she's pregnant, it's not to the point where she'd be unable to give it some promotion if it comes out soon.
