Cardi B has used her performance at the 2021 BET Awards to reveal she's pregnant with her second child.

The rapper was dressed in a skintight bodysuit that had a cutout for her belly.

She didn't miss a beat as she sang her verse for 'Type S**t' in a collaboration with the rapping trio Migos.

The crowd went absolutely wild when the 'Up' singer came onto the stage with her pregnancy outfit on, which was adorned with rhinestones and crystals.

It's unclear how far along in the pregnancy Cardi is, however this will be her second child after she gave birth to Kulture three years ago. She shares the toddler with Migos member Offset.

Cardi was nominated for five gongs at the BET Awards, including best female hip-hop artist, best collaboration for 'WAP' with Megan Thee Stallion, viewer's choice award and video of the year for both 'WAP' and 'Up'.

Migos was also nominated for best group.

The onstage performance was slick and brilliant and largely praised by audiences around the world, which is a far cry from when Cardi and Megan performed 'WAP' at the Grammys earlier this year.

US author Candace Owens said the performance being given the go ahead by the awards ceremony was a sign of the 'destruction of American values and American principles'.

The National Center on Sexual Exploitation also released a statement criticising the performance, with Senior Vice President and Executive Director Dawn Hawkins describing it as 'hardcore pornography'.

He said: "In a performance that could have been cut from a hardcore pornography film, CBS allowed a glamorization of stripping and prostitution to be broadcast in front of a national audience - a portion of which were children - for no other reason than for TV ratings."

In response, Cardi B took to social media to defend both the song and the performance.

Responding to someone who claimed that kids were reading 'WAP' lyrics in school, the 28-year-old rapper wrote: "When has a school made kids read the lyrics to 'WAP'?

"I get it 'WAP' might be a lil vulgar but stop comparing a sensual song to books that has [sic] RACIST content! How can ya not tell the difference? I see that common sense aint that common."
