Cardi B wants fans to be careful with the criticism. A little more than a week after welcoming her third baby with estranged husband Offset , the “WAP” rapper is responding to commentary after she shared a video of herself doing 30 minutes of cardio on a Stair Master. “Late night gym session,” she wrote in her initial post.
“No heavy lifting, no weight just straight stair master until next week.” She added as a word of caution, “Remember ladies this is my third baby..
. with my other 2 babies I was still on bedrest on the first week postpartum.” Now, Cardi, who shares daughter Kulture , 6, and son Wave , 2, with Offset, has explained why she felt the need to kickstart her gym routine again.
“This is my third baby and postpartum is a little different from my first two,” the 31-year-old replied to a person on X (formerly Twitter) who called out the pressure for women to “bounce back” after having a child. “I’m not doing [heavy] lifting, no muscle straining, squatting none of that..
. just cardio. Sometimes to avoid postpartum depression you gotta keep your mind busy and for me that’s work and staying active.
” The Grammy winner added that critics “dragged” her for gaining 15 pounds while five months pregnant, adding, “But now yall fake concerned and wanna talk about pressure??? Y’all said I was pregnant to avoid working now that you see I’m still at it it’s something else?? So yeah I’m taking this personal but its FOR ME because either.
