Cardi B released the first full-face photographs of her son, Grey M.D., on Wednesday to mark his first birthday. The images, shared on Instagram, show the one-year-old alongside his father, Stefon Diggs. This public debut concludes a period of privacy for the child, who is the rapper's first with the football player.
In a written tribute accompanying the photos, Cardi B described the year since Grey's birth. She stated that while only one year has passed, the relationship feels enduring. "It's only been 1 year since meeting you, but it feels like I've had you at my side forever," she wrote. The post also included the caption "Happy 1st birthday to Grey M.D🩶🩶🩶!!"
The singer reflected on the physical and emotional state of her pregnancy. She noted that carrying Grey occurred during a period of high pressure and uncertainty. "I carried you through one of the most uncertain high pressured times of my life but having you inside of me through it all gave me a extra strength," she explained. She added that the process was reciprocal, writing, "I was growing you inside of me and at the same time you were giving me life!"
Cardi B also addressed the specific choice of the name Grey. She suggested the child has changed the connotation of the word. "You gave a new meaning to what a Grey day feels like," she said. The tribute highlighted the child's effect on her environment, noting that his smile, laugh, and spirit brighten every room he enters.
Grey is the rapper's fourth child. She has three other children, Kulture, Wave, and Blossom, with her estranged husband, Offset. In June 2025, she shared the first full-face glimpse of their youngest daughter, Blossom. At that time, the release of photos generated intense reaction from followers, a pattern that continued with the release of Grey's images this week.
The post generated immediate reactions from peers and fans. Kelly Rowland commented on the images with the message, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREY!!" Shamea Morton responded with the word "adorable" accompanied by multiple emojis. The comments section filled with similar birthday wishes for the child.
The release of these photos marks a specific milestone in the family's public timeline. Grey was born in November 2025, making the current date his first birthday. The images serve as the primary visual record of the child's infancy for the public, following the precedent set by the reveal of his sister's face the previous summer.
