Cardi B showed off a flat stomach in a series of Instagram posts on Tuesday, coming days after responding to critics of her postpartum workout routine.
The Grammy-winning singer, 31, was pictured in a room full of expensive gifts such as bags from labels such as Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurent, iMac computers, and signed albums.
The Bodak Yellow singer, who recently welcomed her third child with estranged spouse Offset, 32, promoted a contest giveaway of the listed items, showing off her midriff in a long-sleeved sweater with horizontal red and pink stripes and a cutout chest area.
The Up vocalist rounded out her ensemble with dark jeans that accentuated her curves, pink platform heels and eyeglasses.
The fitness-focused star’s auburn locks were styled back tied on each side as she held a pink luxury purse.

The latest post came two days after the New York City native, whose full name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, took to her Instagram Story on Sunday night to share a few snaps from her workout routine in response to critics.
The Enough (Miami) performer said, ‘Since im off tonight im doing a late night gym session….No heavy lifting, no weight just straight stair master until next week and I start with @fitking_plem.
‘Remember ladies tis is my third baby … with my other two babies I was still on bedrest on my first week postpartum. ‘
Many took to social media to criticize her decision as she quickly fired back to share that she’s using exercise to ‘avoid postpartum depression’ and not to ‘snap back.’
‘I’m not doing heaving lifting, no muscle straining, squatting none of that… just cardio. Sometimes to avoid postpartum depression you gotta keep your mind busy and for me that’s work and staying active,’ she said on Twitter on Monday, in response to a fan.
The WAP artist took umbrage with a commentator who wrote about the ‘the pressure women in the industry’ are under to lose weight after giving birth, noting that Cardi had just welcomed her third child.
‘But you know what’s funny?? Y’all dragged me down when I gained 15 pounds because I was 5 months pregnant but now yall fake concerned and wanna talk about pressure???’ Cardi hit back.
She added, ‘Y’all said I was pregnant to avoid working now that you see I’m still at it it’s something else??’

After the fan answered and said she was speaking in more general terms about ‘society’s expectations of women and “snap back” culture,’ Cardi wrote back a more agreeable message.
‘Totally babe!! And I do agree about society and pressure…I just was never the type to care about snap back after birth,’ she stated.

A rep told People that the latest filing is ‘not based on cheating rumors, but rather has been a long time coming.’
