According to Billboard, Bruno Mars is teasing who will be replacing new mom Cardi B on his 24K Magic Tour. Cardi recently she would not be joining, since she "underestimated this whole mommy thing" and is "not ready physically," and "not ready to leave my baby behind since the doctors explained it's not healthy for her to be on the road."

Check out her full statement here:

This announcement had fans wondering who would be filling in for Cardi on the upcoming tour dates with Bruno Mars. The 24k Magic singer took to Twitter and shared:

Only time will tell!

Five-time GRAMMY Award winner and 21-time GRAMMY Award nominee Mars is a celebrated singer, songwriter, producer, and musician who has sold more than 180 million singles worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. Recently, his critically acclaimed and RIAA certified double-platinum album 24K Magicmarked his highest first week sales debut, remaining in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 for an impressive 33 consecutive weeks. The lead hit single "24K Magic" is certified four times Platinum by the RIAA. Mars' five-time platinum certified single "That's What I Like" recently climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking his seventh Hot 100 chart-topper and his first No. 1 on the Hot R&B Songs chart, where it remained at the top-spot for 19 consecutive weeks.

Mars is the first artist to have two songs spend 24 or more weeks in the Hot 100's Top 5 ("That's What I Like" and "Uptown Funk"). He is the only artist in the past year to have both a four-time and five-time platinum single from the same album. Also, Mars is one of the few artists to have written and produced all of his No. 1 hits and has had a No. 1 song on the Hot 100 from each of his first three studio albums.

With seven Hot 100 No. 1's, Mars is ranked No. 1 among male artists with the most Hot 100 No. 1s for this decade, extending his lead over Justin Bieber, Drake, Eminem, and The Weeknd. Mars has been traveling the globe on his massive 24K Magic World Tour, which sold more than 1 million tickets in a single day. In 2015, Bruno dominated music charts with the hit single "Uptown Funk," which took home three GRAMMY Awards, including Record of the Year.

Undoubtedly 2017's greatest hip-hop phenomenon, Cardi B's massive feature versus on G-Eazy's "No Limit (Ft. A$AP Rocky and Cardi B)" and "MotorSport" by Migos, Nicki Minajjoined "Bodak Yellow" at the top of Billboard's Hot 100, making Cardi the first female rapper to land her first three entries in the chat's top 10. As if that were not enough, with the release of "Bartier Cardi" and Bruno Mars's "Finesse (Remix) [Feat. Cardi B]," the latter of which is now certified 2x platinum, Cardi B made history yet again, surpassing Beyoncé as the first woman to have five top 10 singles simultaneously on the "Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs" chart.

Cardi B has received a stunning series of top honors, among them two GRAMMY® nods (for "Best Rap Performance" and "Best Rap Song"), two iHeart Radio Music Awards, two BET Awards nominations (for "Best New Artist" and "Best Female Hip Hop Artist"), a Soul Train Music Award, and five 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards.
