Cardi B Addresses Plastic Surgery, Butt Injection Reversal Rumors

Cardi B's Kids Show Off Spanish Skills in Rare Family Videos From Dominican RepublicCardi B likes her body like that. Responding to recent comments about her figure, the 33-year-old addressed speculation that she had undergone more plastic surgery after previously removing most of her illegal butt injections. “Why every time I look snatched up and I look f--king good,” Cardi (real name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar) asked in a July 27 Instagram Live, “y’all always wanna f--king be like, ‘Oh, she got another surgery?’” The “I Like It” rapper has never been shy about sharing the cosmetic procedures she’s done, a fact that she emphasized in her livestream. “I’m very honest about surgery,” she said. “I’m very very honest. First of all, I got two lipos and one ass reduction.” Indeed, Cardi has been candid about getting most of her butt injections removed. After beginning the process in 2022, she confirmed in her recent livestream that her last extraction was in January 2024. The “WAP” artist had previously opened up about her removal experience around that time.“In January, right after I shot ‘Like What,’ I went and got surgery,” she said in a September 2024 Instagram Live. “I got some more butt injections removed because you know it takes rounds to get your butt injections removed, and I also went to fix certain things with my fibrosis.” The “Up” rapper first received biopolymer shots—a non-FDA-approved liquid silicone gel that can cause major health complications—when she was 21, describing the experience as “the craziest pain ever.”Johnny Nunez/WireImageAlthough she was considering further reducing her butt earlier this year, the mom of four—who shares a 4-month-old baby boy with Stefon Diggs as well as kids Kulture, 8, Wave, 4, and Blossom, 22 months, with estranged husband Offset—ultimately changed her mind. In fact, she gave more insight into her decision during her recent Instagram Live, explaining that she couldn’t just get liposuction on her behind because of loose skin. “If I just go and get a lipo reduction, that is the easy way, my ass could drop,” Cardi shared. “So I would have to cut myself. And I’m not cutting myself. I’m not sitting down for four months. I’m outside, like I said. I like my body, how it looks right now. I’m comfortable in my skin.” Keep reading to see more celebs get candid about their cosmetic enhancements…Alexa Lemieux/TikTokAlexa LemieuxThe Love Is Blind season three alum shared that she had gotten a boob job amid her divorce from husband Brennon Lemieux.
