Mercy Eke Defends Cardi B’s Pregnancy, Citing Libra Traits and the Right to Happiness

Big Brother Naija star Mercy Eke has joined global discussions following the news that American rapper Cardi B is expecting her first child with NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs.

Cardi B, 32, confirmed her pregnancy during an interview on CBS Mornings, revealing that she has not yet informed her parents due to fear of their reaction.

The announcement comes only months after she welcomed her third child with estranged husband Offset, with whom she is navigating divorce proceedings. The couple shares three children: Kulture, Wave, and Blossom. Cardi has reportedly been dating Diggs for less than a year.

Reacting via her Snapchat page, Mercy Eke, who shares the Libra zodiac sign with Cardi, offered her support, framing the pregnancy as a natural progression in moving on. She explained:

“One thing about a Libra, we’re deeply loving and endlessly patient. We endure the most, often apologizing even when we’re right—not out of weakness, but out of love. We give countless chances, but once a Libra woman is truly fine, there’s no turning back.”

In a follow-up post, Mercy expressed her joy for Cardi B, emphasizing that everyone deserves happiness:

“We all deserve true happiness.”

The reactions to Mercy’s zodiac-inspired perspective were mixed. Some social media users criticized the justification, arguing that pregnancy should not be linked to astrology, while others expressed amusement or disagreement with the Libra connection.

Regardless of public opinion, Mercy’s comments highlight a sentiment shared by many: the importance of moving forward and embracing personal happiness, no matter the circumstances.
