If you are visiting Washington’s Broccoli City Festival, then you are in luck, since the festival will feature the last live performance from Cardi B for a while. The 25-year old rapper shared a video with her followers on Instagram on Wednesday night, revealing that she will have to cancel some of the upcoming tour dates due to her pregnancy.

“Hey y’all! What’s poppin?” said Cardi B in the video. “So, I just want to make this a little clear and everything. Broccoli Fest will be my last performance for a little while and everything because, you know, shorty keep growing. I be looking like I be moving and everything but in reality a b-tch barely can breathe.”

The “Bodak Yellow” rapper also added that she will be back for the Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic Tour in September, during which she performs as an opening act on the shows.

Still, despite taking a break from live performances, Cardi B doesn’t intend on getting too comfortable.

“Okay so I might be off from doing performances for a couple of months but in the meantime imma be working my ass off,” she wrote on her Twitter profile. “So many songs, features to do. Working on a lot of deals i sign up for and most importantly nesting. Im already overwhelmed from the new work.”

Since releasing her debut single “Bodak Yellow” in 2017, Cardi B has experienced a meteoric rise in the world of music. She became one of the most popular female rappers of today, with her singles topping the charts on a regular basis.

After several delays, Cardi B released her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, on April 6, 2018. The album received positive reviews and debuted at the top of US Billboard 200. The album features guest appearances from Migos, Chance the Rapper, Kehlani, and others.
