Cardi B Covered Up By Lots of Umbrellas While Stepping Out in NYC

Cardi B didn’t want anyone to see what’s going on with her this week … ’cause her team was in the midst of a major cover-up while out in NYC … and we mean that literally!

TMZ obtained photos of the rapper Wednesday out in New York City … and as you can see, something was going on with her and her crew — ’cause a bunch of them were trying to hide her behind umbrellas.

Cardi stepped out on 34th and Broadway in broad daylight — dressed in baggy clothes — and her team literally formed a human barrier around her … but look closely at the photos, she’s not entirely covered up.

The backdrop to all of this … Offset‘s recent public denial about cheating on Cardi B … a denial referencing an 8-months pregnant woman.

As we reported … Offset was recently spotted hanging out in a casino with this woman — not Cardi — but it’s not a case of him cheating … just proximity.

The way Offset puts things … “People really need to do the research…I’m at a public place gambling at a casino with a married 8 month pregnant women wtf I look like being outside publicly cheating SMD!!!”

Of course, Offset’s denial did little to dispel rumors about Cardi possibly being pregnant … although a rep for CB is on the record telling us Offset was NOT referring to Cardi. Plus, the woman from the Offset photo acknowledged she’s 7 months pregnant.
