Cardi B Denies New Surgery, Credits Weight Loss to Touring and Breakup
Rapper Cardi B used an Instagram Live session to push back against online speculation that she had undergone recent cosmetic surgery to achieve a slimmer figure. She said the weight loss stemmed from a demanding tour schedule, limited eating while performing, and stress from her recent breakup with Stefon Diggs, not from any new procedures. Cardi emphasized that she is “very honest about surgery,” noting she previously had two liposuction treatments and a buttocks reduction, and that she had her earlier butt‑injection (Brazilian Butt Lift) reduced in January 2024. She explained that further butt reduction would be difficult because of loose skin and would require a lengthy recovery, which she is not willing to undertake. The artist reiterated her comfort with her current body, saying, “I like my body how it looks right now. I’m comfortable in my skin.”
