Cardi B and boyfriend Stefon Diggs are in the family way ... the rapper is pregnant with her beau's baby!

The "I Like It" rapper announced the exciting news on "CBS Mornings" Wednesday during an interview with Gayle King following rumors she was expecting.

The unborn little one is set to be Cardi's fourth baby, but her first with the NFL star ... who CB started dating in late 2024. Although, the pair didn't make their first public appearance together until May of this year, when they sat courtside at a Knicks game.

Singer D4vd has a tattoo on his finger with the letters "Shhh..." -- and the young girl's body found in his Tesla has the same tattoo on her finger.

As TMZ reported, the body has now been identified as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas. Authorities said she had a tattoo on her right index finger with the letters "Shhh..." David's tattoo is also on his right index finger.

TMZ spoke with Celeste's mom last week, and she told us about her daughter's tattoo, adding it was in red ink. The mom said Celeste had been missing for more than a year, but she was suspicious of the Tesla discovery because she said Celeste's boyfriend's name was David.

Cardi B revealed Wednesday that she is indeed pregnant with Stefon Diggs' baby ... and judging from their faces, they're both excited about the incoming bundle of joy!!!

Following her interview with Gayle King on "CBS Mornings," Cardi posted a loving photo of her with her arms wrapped around the NFL star's neck, with both of their faces lit up with bliss.

Cardi told Gayle that they're excited for the pregnancy ... but she didn't reveal how far along she is just yet.

Snoop Dogg has axed his New Zealand concert just 3 days before he was supposed to hit the stage ... after the show's promoter was reportedly found guilty of sexually assaulting his children's babysitter following multiple related accusations.

The "Drop It Like It's Hot" hitmaker was scheduled to perform at the Due Drop Events Centre in Manukau, Auckland, NZ on Saturday ... but the promoter, 4ward Entertainment, announced Wednesday the event had been cancelled due to "circumstances beyond" its control, stating ... "Our goal was to deliver a first-class, New Zealand-first show and we are saddened this is no longer possible."

The abrupt cancellation comes just a week after local promoter Pato Alvarez was revealed as the previously unnamed "entertainment industry figure" accused of sexually assaulting multiple women, according to multiple reports. Stuff reports Alvarez faced 25 charges involving nine women ... he was convicted on two charges of indecent assault and attempted unlawful sexual connection involving his babysitter in 2023, which has just recently come to light.

Alvarez's fought to keep his identity sealed, but the Supreme Court of New Zealand rejected his motion early last week, The New Zealand Herald reported.

The outlet also reported women were encouraging others to boycott any music events he was promoting after his name was released.

Alvarez gushed to Stuff just last week that he was behind Snoop's upcoming gig in NZ, gloating ... “Snoop Dogg’s team contacted us directly, wanting to stop in New Zealand for a special performance on his way to Australia."

The outlet reports Alvarez was also involved in the cancelled Juicy Festival, which was cut after promoters failed to obtain a liquor license.

3:57 PM PT -- ABC 7 Los Angeles reports forensics determined the victim was a female between 14 and 15 years old, according to the outlets sources.

Los Angeles authorities have identified the body found in the trunk of singer D4vd's car, TMZ has learned.

A rep for the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner tells TMZ ... the deceased has been identified, yet, the legal next of kin notification is still pending -- and so, they're unable to release the name at this time.

Damon Dash's return to "The Breakfast Club" was nothing short of the fireworks he usually brings ... he infamously called Charlamagne Tha God a "Chatty Patty" in the past, and this time it's an all-out call for the radio host to come out of the closet!!!

According to Dame's POV, Charlamagne is a poor representation of the standard Black man in America due to his being schooled in the art of gossip by Wendy Williams.

For those who don't know, Charlamagne got an early start working with Wendy and always gives her props ... Dame thinks he needs to get on bended knee and call her "OG."

Boxing star Adrien Broner was kicked off Cam'ron's hit show on Tuesday ... after he wouldn't stop making flirty comments toward one of the rapper's co-hosts.

Cops still haven't figured out some key elements of the homicide case involving a body found in a Tesla registered to D4vd ... but progress is being made.

LAPD sources with direct knowledge tell us police still have not been able to identify the victim. The body was badly decomposed and chopped up when it was found earlier this month in the front trunk of the singer's Tesla.

Our sources say detectives have yet to determine who was using D4vd's Tesla before it was abandoned in the Hollywood Hills and impounded with body parts inside. The car was never reported stolen.
