Mom-Of-1, Cardi B Chose Motherhood Over Career For This Reason And It Is Coming at a Huge Prize
As sweet as motherhood is, it definitely comes with a prize that you may never have been prepared for. While motherhood comes with a lot of benefits that cannot be quantified, it is also characterized with psychological, physical, emotional, and financial most times unexpected changes that you will have to deal with.
This is the phase at which new mom-of-1, Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, 25, known professionally as Cardi B is at, at the moment. Cardi B became a mum on July 10, when she had her daughter with husband, Offset from Migos (read here).
The American rap artiste has just announced that she will not be going on tour with Bruno Mars as planned.
The rapper says she “underestimated this whole mommy thing” and isn’t ready to leave her baby. The 25-year-old first time mom was due to join Bruno Mars on tour for 24 dates across North America on the final leg of his 24K Magic tour.
Cardi said she thought she’ll be ready to hit the road six weeks after childbirth but just discovered that the reality of motherhood is way different from her expectation.
