On October 23, Cardi B took to her X account (formerly Twitter) to announce the cancellation of her scheduled performance at ONE Music Fest, citing a medical emergency that required hospitalization. The news has left fans deeply concerned as the rapper shared her disappointment about missing the event.
In her post, Cardi B wrote, “I’m heartbroken not to see my fans this weekend. I wish I could be there. Bardi Gang — thank you for understanding, and I’ll be back stronger and better soon. Don’t worry. Love you all.” Although she did not share specifics about her condition, fans from around the world flooded her post with messages of support, wishing her a swift recovery.
ONE Music Fest organizers soon confirmed the cancellation, stating, “Unfortunately, Cardi B has announced that she will not be able to join us this year due to ongoing health issues. Please pray for her full recovery! We are working hard to find a replacement at this late date, and more information will be available soon.”
The timing of Cardi B’s health scare coincides with recent developments in her personal life. On July 31, her representative confirmed that she had filed for divorce from her husband, rapper Offset. Cardi B has remained mostly silent on the details of the filing, though insiders suggest the artist is dedicated to securing custody arrangements for their children.
Cardi B and Offset, who married in September 2017, have had a rocky relationship, punctuated by multiple separations and reconciliations over allegations of infidelity. In 2023, the couple briefly split again, with Cardi B unfollowing Offset on Instagram and publicly addressing her husband’s alleged infidelity through a live stream. Despite these challenges, they reconciled, reportedly prioritizing their children’s well-being.
This recent divorce filing marks the fifth time Cardi B has sought to end her marriage with Offset, a decision that has sparked significant public interest. Their high-profile relationship has consistently made headlines, with Cardi B candidly addressing her struggles and frustrations regarding Offset’s behavior.
Adding to the complexity of her life’s current chapter, Cardi B welcomed her third child in mid-September. In a heartwarming series of photos posted on her social media, Cardi B appeared joyful, cradling her newborn. In an unexpected show of unity, Offset was present in the hospital with their two children, supporting her despite the ongoing divorce proceedings.
As fans await further updates on her health and recovery, Cardi B’s resilience shines through as she continues to navigate both her career and personal challenges. While her return to the stage is uncertain, her message to fans promises that she will return stronger and better.
