Cardi B has responded to speculation that she has had her butt fillers dissolved, using her traditionally straight-talking brand of communication to put the record straight.
The singer, real name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, had the injections when she was just 21-years-old, but has since had her posterior ‘reduced’ with other operations, the latest in 2024.
The injections, which are unapproved by then FDA as they can leak, as well as other significant complications, involve the injection of a silicone-based filler into the backside, which creates… well, you know what it creates.
Now, the 33-year-old has addressed the speculation on an Instagram Live where she revealed that she actually had things taken down a notch back in January 2024.
She said: “A lot of y’all keep telling me to go get my ass reduced,
“I don’t need to go get my ass reduced, news flash, I did get my ass reduced.”
There you have it.
Opening up on another trade secret, she explained how she 'can’t just go and lipo my butt because my skin is like kinda loose’.
That’s why things ‘shake so much’, she went on to add.
‘Lipo’ - for those unaware - refers to liposuction, a procedure whereby fat is suctioned out of the body for cosmetic reasons.
Cardi continued: “So if I just go and get a lipo reduction, that is the easy way, my ass could drop,
“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.”
That is, after all, the main thing here.
The singer then went on to open up to her fans about exactly what work she has had done.
She said: “I’m very, very honest,
“First of all, I got two lipos and one ass reduction.”
That’s simply because she is a ‘small’ woman, so she decided to have the effects of those injections brought back a bit.
“First thing first, I am a small girl,” she explained.
“I’m a very small, petite girl. My mom is petite.
“My sister’s petite. My aunts are small.”
Of course, cosmetic procedures are only one part of the story here - you can have as many as you like, but if you don’t eat well and exercise, you’re always going to be fighting a losing battle from a health perspective.
With that in mind, Cardi explained how she eats and works out to ‘look snatched’.
It involves eating a lot of grilled chicken and salmon, as well as drinking beverages that contain fiber.
She warned fans not to ‘starve’ to get into shape.
Most reasonable health professionals would certainly agree with that.
“That’s what I do. I’m being as honest as possible,” she added.
“[Whenever] someone’s talking about oh, I look good, y’all say I’m doing surgery.”
“So shut the f*** up; it just gives straight hater,
“Hating ass b****es.
“Enjoy your life. Enjoy yourself, enjoy your everything.”
That’s a health and body positivity we can all get behind.
