“One morning in September we woke up and decided to get married,” Cardi said. “I said I do with no dress, no make up and no ring.”

As for the later proposal that helped put the world off the scent? It was simply born of thoughtfulness on Offset’s part.

“I appreciate and love my husband so much for still wanting me to have that special moment every girl dreams of when he got down on his knee and put a ring on my finger,” Cardi said.

“Now you lil [nosy] f*cks know, at least ya can stop saying I had a baby out of wedlock,” she added.

Since shooting to international fame, Cardi has spoken openly about the effect the intrusiveness of celebrity has had on her, deactivating social media at times to escape the constant scrutiny and titling her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, in reference to the constant demand of information about her.

“I have been so open to people about myself,” said the star earlier this year, commenting on then-yet-to-be-confirmed rumours of her pregnancy.

“People cannot expect me to be open about everything. Certain things to me, it has to be private. You cannot invade my privacy.”
