Cardi B is looking forward to giving birth to her and Stefon Diggs’ first child.

On Monday, the Am I the Drama? rapper took to X Spaces, where she discussed her postpartum plan, describing it as being very similar to her recent album rollout.

“I can't fucking wait to give birth because I have made a very strict schedule,” she told her Bardi Gang. “You see how I was in a strict schedule while I was doing the rollout? Well, that is the same way that I'm going to be when I give birth. I want to be a bad bitch. I feel really beautiful being pregnant, but I want to go back to bad bitching. So I need to tighten up my body.”

She then clarified that what she meant by “tighten up.”

“I'm not talking about surgery,” she added. “I can't do surgery. And I don't really have to do surgery because…when I usually do surgery, I take fat to put…it in some spaces, but I'm fat everywhere.”

She went on to describe that she needs to “lose weight” for tour. The 33-year-old is due in early 2026, and she’s slated to kick off her 31-date Little Miss Drama Tour in February in Palm Desert, California, before hitting Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Austin, Chicago, and elsewhere. The tour is set to wrap in Atlanta on April 17.

Bardi’s sophomore album, Am I the Drama? arrived on Sept. 19 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Seventeen of the project’s songs charted simultaneously on the Hot 100, led by the Kehlani-featuring “Safe,” which opened at No. 26.
