Unfounding the Rumor about Baby’s Name
Speculation and Cardi B’s Response

The said caption, “Cardi shares ultrasound pic of baby ‘Hurricane,’,” went viral almost immediately amongst her fans.
In a post from Cardi, though, the response was short but sharp: “Who???”-accompanied by several crying emojis. That pretty much squashed the rumors the name “Hurricane” was ever in the running for her baby.
On August 1, 2024, Cardi B took to social media to announce her pregnancy. On the same day, she filed for divorce from her husband, Offset, after six years of marriage.

In the caption, Cardi B let her fans know that she wanted to meet her new baby, penning, “I wanna meet my little boo boo soo bad already. The post reeked of excitement and anticipation as she juggled the emotional turmoil in which she presently found herself.

Children and Co-Parenting Amidst Separation
Offset and Cardi B have two children together: daughter Kulture Kiari, born on July 10, 2018, and son Wave Set, born on August 4, 2021, and who would be turning three by September 4, 2024.
