Rapper Cardi B recently shared how she battled depression during her pregnancy, acknowledging the emotional toll her personal and professional challenges took on her mental health.
Emotional Struggles Behind the Scenes
In a revealing appearance on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast, Cardi B described intense inner turmoil that surfaced near the end of her marriage to Offset. She said she felt the “love dying” from both sides, and that isolation and uncertainty weighed heavily on her psyche.
“I felt the love dying from my end — from my end, from his end. I was very lonely because I chose to be lonely,” she confessed.
Faced with questions about the future, especially with a child on the way, she wrestled with fears about living without her partner, raising their baby alone, and losing the former friendship they had.
She admitted those thoughts spiraled into sadness and depression before she ultimately began the work of healing.
The Path to Recovery
Cardi B credits therapy and time as essential tools in reclaiming her mental well‑being. Over time, she says, she emerged stronger and more grounded.
These days, she’s reportedly in a happier space personally. She’s linked romantically with Stefon Diggs, and the two are expecting a child together. During a recent interview on TODAY with Jenna & Friends, Cardi shared that she’s open to love again — and even hinted at the possibility of marrying again someday.
“I would get married again. I believe in love, I’m like a hopeless romantic,” she said.
