“Since my son was born, I’ve lost more than I’ve gained”: Cardi b humorously blames her son at press conference after controversy over married life!

Cardi B has never been one to hold back — whether in her lyrics, her Instagram Lives, or her press conferences. But even her most dedicated fans were caught off guard this week when the rap superstar made headlines with a shocking (and hilarious) statement about motherhood, marriage, and her son.

Speaking at a high-profile press conference in New York City to promote her new beauty line, BardiGlow, Cardi opened up about recent rumors surrounding her personal life — and she didn’t hold back.

With her signature mix of sass, sarcasm, and sincerity, she quipped:

“Since my son was born, I’ve lost more than I’ve gained… and I blame him. Yup, my lil fat-cheeked dictator!”

The crowd erupted into laughter, but the moment quickly turned into one of unexpected depth — and, as always with Cardi B, more than a little drama.

The Bronx-born rapper, 32, has been at the center of media speculation after fans noticed she had recently stopped wearing her wedding ring in public. Whispers of marital trouble with husband Offset — whom she married in 2017 and shares two children with — have been swirling for months.

Asked directly about the status of her marriage, Cardi didn’t dodge the question.

“We argue, we love, we fight again — you know how it is. Marriage ain’t no damn fairytale. It’s more like a rollercoaster run by a toddler who hasn’t napped.”

She continued, “Offset’s my partner in crime, my headache, and my baby daddy. But sometimes I do feel like I’m mothering three kids, not two.”

That comment drew both laughs and gasps from the audience. But Cardi wasn’t done.

In classic Cardi fashion, she turned the conversation back to her children — particularly her youngest, Wave, now 3 years old.

“Listen, I love my son. He’s my everything,” she said, raising her perfectly arched brows. “But since he came into this world, it’s been chaos. My sleep is gone, my waistline left me, I haven’t finished a meal hot in three years, and don’t even get me started on romance. One time Offset tried to kiss me and Wave hit him with a Paw Patrol toy.”

She laughed at her own story, before getting a little more serious.

“Being a mom is beautiful, but it’s also exhausting. And yeah, I’ve lost some things — privacy, time, some sanity… but I’ve gained something bigger: purpose. Even when my kid pees on the carpet.”

Though her press conference was filled with playful digs and comedic timing, fans saw the deeper message behind Cardi’s words: the pressure of juggling motherhood, career, and a high-profile marriage in the spotlight.Mental health advocates praised Cardi’s candidness. Dr. Alicia Morales, a family therapist and cultural commentator, posted:

“Cardi B’s humor reveals real truths about the challenges women face. It’s okay to laugh through the chaos — and still speak truth to the struggle.”

Shortly after the press conference went viral, Offset took to Instagram Live in his usual laid-back style, saying only:

“She wildin’, but that’s my queen. And yeah… Wave is a little savage.”

He then posted a photo of Wave sitting on his chest with the caption: “My boss.”

Fans quickly turned the couple’s banter into memes, with hashtags like #BlameWave and #CardiSaidIt trending on Twitter.

Despite the headlines, Cardi B seems to be in control of her narrative — and her empire. With her second studio album breaking records, her BardiGlow brand flying off shelves, and a Netflix docuseries rumored to be in development, she’s clearly not slowing down.

When asked about future plans, she smiled and said, “I’m just tryna keep these edges laid and my kids alive. That’s the real goal.”

As she exited the stage, reporters called out for a final comment. Cardi turned, winked, and shouted,

“Tell my son to give me back my life! But don’t worry — I still got my lashes and my money!”

Love her or hate her, Cardi B is never boring. Her latest press conference wasn’t just headline-worthy — it was a masterclass in authenticity, humor, and owning your truth, even when it’s messy.

And maybe, just maybe, there’s a lesson for all of us: Sometimes you’ve gotta laugh at your chaos, throw on some lip gloss, and keep dancing — even if it’s to the sound of a toddler tantrum.
