Rapper Cardi B, 31, recently took to Instagram Live to share updates about her health journey, including a second round of butt injection removals and the unexpected discovery of her third pregnancy.
Continuing Cosmetic Procedure Reversals
In January, following the filming of her music video “Like What,” Cardi underwent another surgical procedure to remove more butt injections. She explained, “I got some more butt injections removed. Because, you know, it takes rounds to get your butt injections removed.”
This follows her previous revelation in December 2022 that she had removed “95%” of the biopolymers from her buttocks. These silicone injections, which Cardi received in 2014 for $800, have been flagged by the FDA as potentially dangerous.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns that “injectable silicone used for body contouring is not FDA-approved and can cause serious side effects that may be permanent or may even lead to death.”
Surprise Pregnancy Discovery
During the same Instagram Live session, Cardi shared the moment she realized she was pregnant again. “I automatically knew I was pregnant again when I woke up one morning and my mouth tasted like copper,” she said. This baby will be her third child with husband Offset, joining siblings Kulture Kiari, 6, and Wave Set, 3.
Postpartum Wellness Journey
Cardi has been open about her postpartum experiences on social media. She’s shared insights into her current fitness routine, which differs from her previous pregnancies. “This is my third baby and postpartum is a little different from my first two… I’m not doing heaving lifting, no muscle straining, squatting none of that… just cardio,” she explained on X (formerly Twitter).
Like what?! Looks like we got a new addition to the lineup! 😍
Y’all thought she wasn’t gonna drop that baby before #OMF2024?!

The rapper emphasizes the importance of mental health during this period, stating, “Sometimes to avoid postpartum depression you gotta keep your mind busy and for me that’s work and staying active…”
As Cardi B navigates these personal health challenges and changes, she continues to keep her fans updated, providing a candid look into the realities of motherhood and body image in the public eye.
