Prince’s Estate have clearly clocked this and have struck a lucrative new deal with Sony Music – who’ve now snagged the distribution rights to a whopping 35 albums.

Cardi B and Offset‘s bundle of joy is due any day now. So, what better way to celebrate their daughter’s imminent arrival than with an elaborate baby shower?

The Hip-Hop couple hosted an elaborate pre-birth bash in Atlanta last night and made sure it was quite the spectacle.

Notable names such as Monica and Shannon Brown were on hand to help them mark the occasion, which comes the same week it was revealed that Cardi and Offset actually married last September – before their public engagement.

Via Instagram, Cardi explained that their marriage actually took place on the same day he proposed (in bed) and that because it was so swift the Migos star was unable to get a ring. As such, the public “proposal” we saw in October was actually a presentation of the bling he bought her. Confused? Can’t say we blame you.
