“WAVE SET CEPHUS,” Offset captioned an Instagram photo of his baby boy on April 14 — the first pic that had been made public of the rapper’s son with Cardi B. Surely an all caps-worthy name, Cardi instead opted for emojis to accompany an image of her little one that also went up on Instagram. A dinosaur and teddy bear sat on either side of a wave in her caption, which was pretty cute, but certainly not as sweet as little Wave himself.
Although the fact that Cardi and Offset finally shared Wave’s name likely made plenty of people happy, fans may have also still been wondering why the stars chose to keep the moniker under wraps for so long — seven months after the little guy was born, to be exact. While opening up about her family, Cardi explained the choice, tellingEssence, “We went through a lot of sad things when it comes to Kulture — terrible behavior 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,” Cardi went on to say. Hopefully, that kind of bad behavior soon changes for the better.
