Cardi B has recently opened up about her dissatisfaction with her current weight, revealing her unconventional plan to regain her ideal figure. The Bronx rapper took to Instagram Live while working in the studio with Pardison Fontaine, songwriter of her hit “Bodak Yellow.” She shared her frustration with her slimmer appearance and explained her strategy for putting on a few pounds.
Health Issues and Weight Loss
During her livestream, Cardi disclosed she had suffered from a severe stomach issue that lasted nearly two weeks, impacting her ability to eat and causing her to lose weight. “Until I gain weight back, I’m not going out,” she stated. Currently weighing 135 pounds, Cardi expressed that her ideal weight is closer to 137, but she has previously dropped as low as 128. This fluctuation has left her feeling self-conscious, especially when it comes to how clothing fits.
“I look too skinny, and I don’t like it,” Cardi admitted. She emphasized that she won’t be creating content or attending events until she’s back to a weight she feels comfortable with.
Cardi’s ‘X-Rated’ Weight Gain Strategy
To boost her weight, Cardi suggested an unusual method: eating more and staying physically active in an unconventional way. “I need to eat and I need some [sex],” she quipped, explaining that she believes intimacy can help her gain weight rather than lose it. “It’s just a science,” Cardi humorously added.
Cardi’s Journey with Cosmetic Procedures
The rapper’s openness about body image isn’t new. In 2022, she shared her decision to remove most of her butt injections, cautioning others about the procedure. Following her son Wave Set Cephus’s birth, she noticed a significant weight gain, which led her to address her figure through surgery. Cardi revealed she had 95% of her biopolymer (ass shots) removed, describing the process as difficult yet ultimately necessary.
Cardi’s Advice to Young Fans
Reflecting on her own experiences, Cardi urged young fans to avoid taking drastic measures like ass shots. She acknowledged the pressure some may feel to enhance their appearance but emphasized the risks associated with these procedures. “If you’re 19, 20, 21… don’t do it,” she advised, reiterating her strong stance against biopolymers and her support for safer, more natural body enhancement choices.
As Cardi works on regaining her confidence, her candid reflections on body image resonate with fans who admire her honesty.
