Cardi B recently shared a harrowing medical scare with her fans, shedding light on a serious incident she experienced shortly after announcing her third pregnancy.
The 31-year-old rapper took to X Spaces to discuss the situation, which she described as a “freak accident.” Cardi B, known for her hit songs and vibrant personality, revealed that the incident left her briefly “paralyzed” and posed a serious risk to her unborn child. She detailed the experience without specifying exact details or a formal diagnosis.
“I had a freak accident. I don’t know how something—well, it wasn’t little, it actually hurt,” Cardi B said. “It doesn’t really happen often, but it became so big to the point I was literally paralyzed. And that little thing almost cost me my little one to come.”
Fortunately, Cardi B reported that the situation did not result in a miscarriage. She explained that she was feeling better the following day. “Yesterday, I was feeling good. I came home, but I came home high as a kite,” she said. Cardi added that she planned to seek medical attention if her condition did not improve within a few hours. “I’mma exaggerate this so I can get more morphine. Morphine me down! I don’t give a damn,” she joked, reflecting her light-hearted approach to coping with the pain.
Cardi B’s announcement about her pregnancy came on August 1, just one day after she filed for divorce from her husband, Offset. The couple, who had been married for six years, share two children: son Wave Set, 2½, and daughter Kulture Kiari, 6. The pregnancy news came as a significant development amid her personal and legal challenges.
In her Instagram post announcing her pregnancy, Cardi B shared a series of photos in a red dress that highlighted her baby bump. “With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you,” she wrote in the caption. “You have brought me more love, more life, and most of all renewed my power!” Cardi B expressed her gratitude and excitement about the new chapter in her life.
She continued, “Reminded me that I can have it all! You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion! I love you so much and cannot wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do!”
