BET AWARDS
Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B were among the big winners at the 2021 BET Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
Megan picked up four honours, including Best Female Hip Hop Artist and the Viewer’s Choice Award for her Beyonce collaboration Savage, while her Cardi B team-up on WAP landed both stars Best Collaboration and Best Video.
The rappers also performed during the big show at the Microsoft Theatre, but Cardi grabbed the spotlight when she revealed she was expecting her second child during a surprise set with Offset’s group Migos.
The award-winning rapper appeared on stage in a black catsuit covered with rhinestones with a sheer panel in the abdomen showing off Cardi’s blossoming baby bump.

Cardi B and Offset secretly tied the knot in 2017. However, Offset was caught cheating on the Bodak Yellow hitmaker in early 2018, the same year she gave birth to their daughter, Kulture. Cardi B took Offset back after the cheating scandal and the pair has had an on and off relationship since.
This the second time Cardi has used live television to break baby news – she debuted her burgeoning tummy when she was pregnant with the couple’s daughter, Kulture, in 2018. Kulture turns three next month.
Meanwhile, Offset recently heaped praise on his wife’s mothering skills, revealing she loves her three stepchildren the same way as their daughter.
“My other kids who ain’t hers… (she) gives them love the same way,” he said. “It’s a beautiful thing.”
CARDI B ON ‘F9’ APPEARANCE
Cardi B jumped at the opportunity to make a guest appearance in the Fast & Furious film franchise after receiving an offer from Vin Diesel.
The Bodak Yellow hitmaker, who made her movie debut in Jennifer Lopez’s Hustlers in 2019, joins the cast of F9 as Leysa, and she admits it was a no-brainer to sign on for the “powerful” role.
“Vin Diesel reached out, and he was talking about a role. I’m like, ‘It’s freakin’ Fast & Furious! Get me there, put me on a plane!’,” she smiled in a promotional video.
“I like the fact that I’m representing such a powerful, strong woman. She’s just that b****”
Cardi was all the more excited to represent for her community as an Afro-Latina, and share the screen with franchise regular, rapper-turned-actor Ludacris, as tech expert Tej, and reggaeton star Don Omar, who reprises his role as Santos for F9.
“I remember when I saw Ludacris in Fast & The Furious… then to see Don Omar, it makes the hood have hope,” she beamed.
Cardi had nothing but praise for leading man Diesel, adding: “Being around Vin, he’s just so nice, so dope. He makes you feel so comfortable. I’m just so excited. He’s just such a bad a**.”
The hip-hop sensation also took to Twitter on Tuesday to share her joy at being a part of the high-octane movie, admitting she will be among the film fans checking out F9 in U.S. theatres when it opens on 25 June.
“I can’t wait to watch Fast and Furious 9 .I haven’t seen my scenes yet!” she tweeted. “That’s the best part about it thooo watching the movie then you see yourself coming in.I’m sooo proud of myself. GOD IS GOOD (sic)…!”
F9, which has already become a huge hit in the global market, also stars Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren, and John Cena.
