On Saturday, Cardi B took to her Instagram account to share a shocking picture of her feet and ankles; they were swollen to an alarming size. According to Cardi, the swelling is a side-effect of her recent plastic surgeries that have caused her to cancel performances in order to focus on her healing. .
In her always-candid Instagram stories, Cardi has talked about how she has had “lipo” and breast-lift surgeries to change her postpartum body. She has defended the decision before, saying: “My job as an entertainer is a 24-hour job. So, no, I don’t have time to work out. And I wanted specific things that I know that no matter how much I work out, [are] not going to get fixed”.
In late May, Cardi had to cancel a show in Maryland on her doctor’s orders. According to Cardi, the doctors told her to take a step back from the constant performances, explaining that her body needs time to heal. “My doctor was like, ‘Yo, you cannot be doing all these shows because you’re not fully healed’”, Cardi explained via Instagram. “Health is wealth, so I have to do what I have to do. My breasts gotta f—- heal”.
But, after having her baby Kulture last July, Cardi has been blunt about the fact that her postpartum body isn’t the same as it was since before she gave birth. “[My weight] has been depressing me, making me sad,” she revealed in her Instagram comments. “I still feel like I got a lot of love handles. It’s not much but I’m used to having a real tight stomach”.
And to the haters that flood her Instagram with comments telling her to simply “work out” and “eat healthfully”? Cardi has a few choice words for them: “I do whatever the f– I want with my body.”
