For many, this was considered unacceptable as it was believed to bring bad luck. A portion of her fans were furious, criticizing her for making such a move so soon after the big news.

Cardi B is celebrating her new chapter of life.

On Thursday, Nov. 13, the Am I the Drama? artist, 33, made her first public appearance since announcing the birth of her fourth baby. She was seen attending the launch party for CYBEX’s NYC store, wearing a black cropped puffer jacket with a matching mini skirt and heels in footage shared on the Instagram fan account @cardibnews.

She completed the look with a black hat adorned with a large bow on the back. While posing for photos in front of a Cybex backdrop, Cardi appeared in good spirits.

A post on the car seat brand’s Instagram Stories showed her cutting the ribbon to open the store and dancing.

The outing came just hours after Cardi announced she had given birth to her and her NFL boyfriend, Stefon Diggs’ first baby together. “Cardi is healthy and happy,” a rep told PEOPLE.

Cardi shared an Instagram Reel of her walking down a hallway wearing the same outfit she wore to the launch party. She captioned the post, “My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons. My last chapter was the beginning of a new season.”

“Starting over is never easy but it’s been so worth it!,” she continued. “I brought new music and a new album to the world!”

The “Up” artist added, “A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve.”

Cardi described her “next chapter” being “Me vs. Me!”

“It’s me against all odds me against everything meant to get in my way,” she said. “I’ve started prepping for tour getting my body right getting my mind right.”

Closing out her caption, the mother of four added, “There’s nothing that’s gonna stop me from giving you guys the performance of a lifetime! I’ve learned I’ve healed, and I’m loving the woman I’ve become! That’s what this next era means to me and I’m stepping into it better than ever.”
