00:20children with, told King during the interview she feels, quote, very strong and powerful,
00:24doing all this work while creating a baby, as she prepares for her February tour. But despite the

00:47If she was broke and pregnant while still legally married, y'all would drag her,
00:51but because she's rich, it's goals. Cardi, meanwhile, explained she was taking control of

01:09cleared in a $24 million silver assault trial, a stressful chapter Cardi says left her anxious
01:14and emotional. But it's not just the mom of four under the spotlight. Diggs himself has been dealing
