Cardi B is shutting down rumors about her body after fans speculated about her curves. The speculation began after a video of the rapper’s hourglass figure circulated online, with some accusing her of undergoing plastic surgery.
In response, Cardi took to X (formerly known as Twitter) on Saturday, October 5, to clarify the situation. Sharing a snapshot and video of herself in form-fitting dresses, she wrote, “Y’all really need to relax…This is how my body REALLY LOOKS LIKE.”
The “WAP” artist explained that the appearance of her figure in the earlier video was due to her wearing shapewear. “My body looks exaggerated in the other video cause I have a 5X faja on… I want yall to think wit yall brain,” she added. Cardi also pointed out the inconsistency in the criticism, saying, “Yall was just praising my body couple days ago… do yall think I went and got surgery in 2 days?”
Her response specifically addressed a tweet from a user who expressed frustration over Cardi’s supposed body changes, writing, “The fact Cardi B really did that to her body is pissing me off! …Like y’all gotta start loving yourself ladies!”
Around the same time, a clip from Cardi’s Instagram Story gained traction on X. In the video, she showed off her slim waist and accentuated hips, while mentioning her struggles with weight loss around her face. Later, she revealed she had been wearing hip enhancements in the video, further dispelling any surgery rumors.
The Grammy-winning rapper, who welcomed her third child with estranged husband Offset in September, responded to a fan’s post that clarified, “You can’t get surgery unless the child you had is 6 months and up anyway,” by simply replying, “THANK YOU.”
Cardi has been open in the past about undergoing cosmetic surgery. In 2019, she postponed several shows to recover from procedures under her doctor’s advice. In 2023, she addressed critics accusing her of lying about her workout routine, stating, “How vocal have I been about my procedures??? … There’s this thing called visceral fat… It’s fat that grows under the muscle and you can’t lipo it, only thing you can do is work it out!”
Cardi B is also mother to 6-year-old daughter Kulture and 3-year-old son Wave. She first announced her third pregnancy on August 1, the same day Billboard confirmed she had filed for divorce from Migos rapper Offset.
