People Editorial Guidelines Published on April 26, 2018 08:19 AM Share Tweet Pin Email Summer festivalgoers will have to wait a few months to party with Cardi B. The rapper, who is expecting her first child, announced Wednesday night that she’s canceling several scheduled shows to concentrate on her pregnancy. In an Instagram video, the 25-year-old chart-topper confirmed that this weekend’s Broccoli Fest in Washington, D.C., will be her final performance “for a little while.” “Because you know, shorty keep growing and I be looking like I be moving and everything, but in reality, a bitch can barely breathe,” she said. While catching her breath later in the video, she joked, “I can barely breathe right now. I’ve ate like six chicken wings, and I can barely breathe now.” Cardi was scheduled to appear at music festivals through July, including JMBLYA Festival in May and New York City’s Panorama Festival in July. The “Bodak Yellow” performer promised to be back on stage with Bruno Mars on his 24K Magic Tour, kicking off in September, with her firstborn in tow. “I’m taking my baby with me!” she said while co-hosting The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier this month.

Cardi recently confirmed she’s due in July, and revealed she and Offset already know the sex of their baby (which many fans believe is a girl!). During an interview on Power 105.1’s show The Breakfast Club, Cardi said it “disgusts” her that people have reached out to her online to more or less tell her that motherhood will ruin her professional success. “It just really bothers me and it disgusts me because I see a lot of women online like, ‘Oh I feel sorry for you, oh your career is over,’” she said. “As a woman, why can’t I have both? Why do I gotta choose a career or a baby? Like, why can’t I have both? I want both.”
