Cardi B Sparks Pregnancy Rumors with Courtroom Appearance

NEW YORK (September 2, 2025) - Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B fueled fresh speculation about a possible pregnancy today when she arrived at Manhattan Criminal Court for closing arguments in her ongoing civil assault trial.

Dressed in a curve-hugging black ensemble and towering stilettos, Cardi B’s tight silhouette prompted fans and paparazzi to scrutinize her midsection for signs of a baby bump. Despite her poised walk and confident smile, the superstar made no comment on the swirling rumors, instead focusing attention on her legal battle.

Court sources confirm that Cardi B is facing a $24 million lawsuit filed by a security guard who alleges she struck him during an altercation at a New York City club in 2023. Closing arguments are scheduled for later this afternoon, after which the jury is expected to deliberate.

Social media erupted within minutes of her arrival, with hashtags like #BabyBardi and #PregnantOrJustFashion trending on X and Instagram. Clips of Cardi B from today’s hearing quickly amassed millions of views, as online sleuths compared angles and lighting to determine whether she’s expecting.

Representatives for Cardi B have declined to address either the lawsuit or the pregnancy chatter. This is not the first time the Bronx native has faced baby-bump rumors-offsetting speculation with blunt denials during last month’s Instagram Live, when she quipped, “I’m not pregnant, I’m just out of breath from walking in these heels”.

As fans await the jury’s verdict on the civil suit, many will also be watching for any statement from Cardi B that might confirm-or finally put to rest-rumors of a new addition to her family.
