Cardi B is asking critics to stop with the ongoing surgery speculation.
During an early morning Instagram Live session on Tuesday (July 28), the rapper pushed back against rumors that she recently had cosmetic procedures to maintain her figure. The discussion came after her performance at New York City’s Pacha nightclub appeared to reignite criticism and conversations about Cardi’s body.
“I’m also tired of you hating ass bitches,” Cardi said around the 6:44 mark in the video above. “Why every single time that I look snatched up and I look fucking good, y’all always want to be fucking shady like, ‘Oh, she got another surgery’ … Bitch, I post every week.”
The Grammy-winning rapper explained that she is constantly sharing updates on social media, including recent travels to Paris, London, and Venice over a two-week span. She said those trips are proof that she simply hasn’t had the time needed to undergo cosmetic procedures and recover.
“When have y’all ever seen me have time off to get surgery? I’m very honest about surgery. I’m very very honest,” she said, before revealing that she has previously undergone two liposuction procedures and a buttocks reduction.
After describing herself as “naturally petite,” Cardi explained why she has been able to lose weight quickly despite giving birth to four children.
“After I gave birth to my son this year, I lost weight easy. You want to know why? Cuz I went on tour. There was some cities that I ain’t going to front, the food was straight caca. It was straight shit. I wouldn’t even eat like that. I will eat a fucking salad,” she said. “No lie, when I was on tour, I wouldn’t eat after 5:00 p.m. because if I was to eat anything while I’m performing, I could feel myself about to throw up … And when I get off the stage, my adrenaline be so high that sometimes I wouldn’t even be hungry.”
“And then I went through a breakup. Ladies, shall I say more?” Cardi added, appearing to reference her split from Stefon Diggs, the NFL star with whom she welcomed a son last November.
The pair were briefly seen together again in April after Diggs attended Cardi’s Little Miss Drama Tour stop in Washington D.C.
Aside from addressing surgery rumors, Cardi also shared details about her actual routine, including taking fiber supplements, drinking water throughout the day, and eating lighter meals for two days before events.
“I’m not sitting down for four months, bitch. I’m outside,” she said during the livestream. “Like I said, I like my body how it looks right now. I’m comfortable in my skin. Y’all acting like y’all new to this. Y’all been seeing my body for how many years now? Too many.”
