NEW YORK − Rap superstar Cardi B entered a radio studio in midtown Manhattan on Sept. 18, a day after she announced she was expecting baby No. 4.

The Grammy winner was there to promote her new album on the nationally syndicated radio program "The Breakfast Club," co-hosted by an old friend, Charlamagne Tha God.

"Club" staffers brought cake and slushies and catered fare from the salty buffet chain Golden Corral in the Bronx. They brought blue and pink balloons. "You know we got a whole baby shower up here for Cardi," Charlamagne said on air during their talk of music and motherhood.

Then, Cardi blurted out a divine revelation: That off-air, the pair mainly speaks about politics.

Once known simply as a gossip guru, Charlamagne – who reaches over 7 million monthly "Club" listeners – still gets "the tea." But in recent years, the 47-year-old has emerged as one of America's most prominent political pundits, beefing with President Donald Trump and predicting Joe Biden's 2024 downfall.
