Cardi B's son is called Wave

Cardi B and fellow rapper, Offset, have remained tight-lipped about the name of their second child -- who was born in September 2021 -- until now.

Alongside the first public photo of her son, Cardi wrote on Instagram: "WAVE SET CEPHUS."

Following the big reveal, the ' I Like It' hitmaker took to Twitter to reveal that her husband had suggested the name and knew that it was the perfect one.

Alongside a video ,which showed her baby's name written out in jewellery, she wrote: "When Set suggested Wave, I was sold! THAT HAD TO BE HIS NAME ."

The 29-year-old Cardi B has been married to Offset, 30, since 2017 and the pair welcomed their first son, Kulture back in 2018. Cardi B explained that they had gone through "a lot of sad things" when she made her first-born known to the public, which is why they kept Wave's anonymity for a while.

She said: "We went through a lot of sad things when it comes to Kulture -- terrible behaviour that not even the older kids have ever been through. So many people will post mean, disgusting things, just to get a reaction from us. We want to protect our feelings, because we get very, very angry and upset."

' Open it Up' hitmaker Offset is also father to Joran, 12, and seven-year-olds Kody and Kalea from previous relationships and he explained that it is a "blessing " to be part of a blended family.

In a joint interview with Essence Magazine, he said: "It's a blessing to be able to have them all together, and to have a wife who's open and treats them as if they're her kids. It could be an issue, but I don't have to go through that, and that's beautiful."
