Known for her bold and candid style on social media, Cardi B shared the news with her followers during an Instagram Live session. Fighting back tears, she described the challenges her family has faced since Wave’s diagnosis.
“Learning that my son has autism was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to deal with,” Cardi B told her followers. “But Wave is my heart, and I will do my best to give him a good life.”
