Cardi B shares throwback nude pregnancy photo

Cardi B has shared a previously unseen nude image from her maternity photoshoot.

The I Like It rapper shared a previously unseen photo from her stunning maternity photoshoot which took place just days before she gave birth to her daughter, Kulture Kiari Cephus, last month (Jul18).

In the stunning shoot, styled by Kollin Carter, Cardi strikes a pose in a lush garden, wrapping her arms across the top of her baby bump. A swathe of pink silk fabric drapes her body, with a strip of it fluttering to the edge of the frame, highlighting her belly.

“A couple weeks ago KULTURE Shot by @jorafrantzis,” she wrote in the caption.

Cardi has been enjoying the early days of motherhood following a whirlwind rise to fame in a year that has seen her top the music charts and get married to Migos star Offset.

The Bartier Cardi hitmaker was set to go out on tour with Bruno Mars in September, but last week announced she was pulling out of his 24k Magic tour to spend time with her newborn.

“I think I underestimated this whole mommy thing,” she wrote in note announcing her withdrawal. “Not only am I just not ready physically, I’m not ready to leave my baby behind since the doctors told me it’s not healthy for her to be on the road.”

Superstar Mars praised the rapper for her decision, writing back on Instagram, “You are absolutely doing the right thing…We love you Cardi and we will play ‘Bodak Yellow’ every night in your honor.”

The 25-year-old has admitted she’s completely attached to her daughter, and got candid about the physical toll of giving birth.

“I met my match…She is very demanding, like I can’t believe I have a boss,” she told her followers. “I didn’t (think) it would take my body so long to heal, like, I thought six weeks was gonna be good enough. No bro! My a*s is broken… She really broke me. She took all the strength from my body.”
