Yo, Cardi B can’t catch a break! The Bronx bombshell was spotted outside a Los Angeles courthouse on Wednesday, and her every move had fans buzzing louder than a Hollywood premiere. While she’s in the middle of a heated civil assault trial, it’s her careful steps and heavy breathing that got the internet playing detective about a possible baby bump.
Cardi stopped to sign autographs and shout out her loyal supporters gathered outside, keeping that fan love alive even under pressure. But when videos dropped showing her taking it slow and struggling to climb into her sleek black SUV - not to mention chilling in the ride during her lunch break instead of stepping out - the pregnancy rumors hit overdrive. Could there be a little one on the way with her new boo, New England Patriots star Stefon Diggs?
Just a few weeks back, Cardi was all over social media shutting down similar chatter with some serious fire. She clapped back hard at comments about looking pregnant, blaming her breathing issues on asthma, not a bun in the oven, and even threatened to block the haters. “I’m over y’all assuming stuff about my body!” she vented online, clearly fed up with the constant scrutiny.
But the timing of these whispers couldn’t be juicier. After her split from Offset last year - with whom she shares two kiddos - Cardi’s been rolling with NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs for a few months now. Their romance is already a hot topic on the LA gossip circuit, and a pregnancy would be the ultimate plot twist in this SoCal love story.
Fans and social media sleuths are dissecting every outfit and gesture like it’s a red carpet event. Her slow climb up the courthouse steps and need for a breather during lunch? That’s only fanned the flames, even after her fierce denials. It’s like the internet’s got a magnifying glass on her 24/7.
Amid all this baby talk, Cardi’s got bigger fish to fry with a messy legal battle in court. A former security guard, Emani Ellis, is accusing her of assault over a 2018 incident at a Beverly Hills medical office (yep, that’s prime LA territory for celeb drama). Ellis claims she just recognized Cardi and made a casual comment, which allegedly set off an aggressive reaction from the rapper.
Cardi took the stand on Tuesday with a totally different story. She testified that Ellis started the mess by filming her during a private medical visit - super invasive stuff. Cardi says she asked Ellis to stop recording and step back, but Ellis refused, claiming she could do whatever she wanted, leading to a heated verbal clash. Cardi insists no physical contact happened, though.
This whole drama went down when Cardi was pregnant with her first child with Offset but hadn’t gone public yet. With privacy on the line and pregnancy hormones in the mix, tensions were probably sky-high. Both sides are sticking to their guns, leaving the court to sort out this Beverly Hills blowup.
With an assault trial and pregnancy rumors colliding, Cardi’s living under a microscope hotter than a Malibu summer. Every courthouse appearance turns into a scavenger hunt for clues about her personal life, while she’s just trying to handle serious legal business. It’s a lot for anyone, even a superstar.
Still, she made time to connect with fans outside the courthouse, thanking them with love and gratitude for riding with her through this storm. But let’s be real - her physical vibe has stolen the spotlight from the trial in online convos. Social media can’t stop talking about her every move.
This whole saga just shows the crazy pressure female celebs face in the public eye. From body changes to style picks, or even the hint of a pregnancy, women like Cardi deal with non-stop commentary that often drowns out their real struggles or wins. For Cardi, who’s all about keeping it 100 with her fans, these rumors hit extra hard - and even her fiery clapbacks can’t seem to cool down the speculation.
