Cardi B reveals she's pregnant on "SNL"

NEW YORK -- Rapper Cardi B made quite the debut on "Saturday Night Live." She revealed during her "SNL" performance that she's pregnant. The rapper is having a big week; she just dropped her album "Invasion of Privacy" on Friday.

The 25-year-old Grammy-nominated artist wore a fitted white dress showing off her bump.

It's been long speculated that Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, was expecting. Her fiance is 26-year-old rapper Offset, of the hip-hop group Migos.

Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, posted an Instagram photo of the two with a caption reading: "Thank you for all of your support. We feel so blessed." The couple has been engaged since October.

The couple were rocked by rumors of infidelity last year, but Cardi B addressed the issue during an interview with Cosmopolitan in February.

"It's like everybody is coming down my neck like, 'Why are you not leaving him? You have low self-esteem,'" Cardi told Cosmopolitan. "I don't have low self-esteem … I want to work out my s**t with my man, and I don't got to explain why."

"I'm not your property. This is my life," she said. "I'm going to take my time, and I'm going to decide on my decision ... It's not right, what he f**king did, but people don't know what I did, 'cause I ain't no angel."

Cardi B's "Invasion of Privacy" is set for a No. 1 Billboard debut.

The record comes 10 months after her smash hit "Bodak Yellow." She performed that, "Bartier Cardi" and "Be Careful" on Saturday night.
