Cardi B is known for keeping things completely unfiltered, and her latest appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast proved just that.
The chart-topping rapper peeled back the curtain on her extensive plastic surgery journey, her lifelong struggle with public body image, and one very expensive jewelry mishap.
The “Bodak Yellow” star admitted she has faced relentless scrutiny over her famous curves.
“People say that my butt is too big,” Cardi said candidly. “But they don’t understand—they already did a butt surgery to reduce my behind! It’s really hard for my butt to be smaller.”
Battling Unrealistic Standards
For Cardi, the constant public chatter about her figure is a double-edged sword. She explained that no matter what she does, critics are always quick to attack.
She outlined the dilemma faced by public figures:
If she hides her surgeries: People accuse her of setting unrealistic standards.
If she tells the truth: Critics use the procedures against her.
“When I tell the truth, they use it against me,” she explained.
Why She Sought Surgery
The Bronx-born star broke down the initial reason she first turned to surgery: her naturally slim frame.
“I got lipo because I wanted to look thicker. I’m skinny, and I lose weight easily,” she shared.
However, after her butt reduction, Cardi has reached a place of peace. She has made it clear that she is done undergoing major surgery to please the public.
“I’m not going to put myself in that position again because you don’t like my body. I’m comfortable, I learned to live with it, I don’t get no complaints from nobody.”
Flushing Away a Fortune
The interview took an absurd and hilarious turn when host Alex Cooper asked about Cardi’s infamous butt piercing.
That’s when the rapper casually dropped a bombshell: she once lost a £10,000 diamond from the piercing straight down the toilet.
“Imagine flushing away that much money,” she laughed, turning the shocking admission into an instantly meme-able moment.
Despite the surgeries, the criticism, and the expensive toilet disaster, Cardi insists she wouldn’t change a thing about her journey. “I look at myself in the mirror and really, I wouldn’t change a thing,” she said with trademark confidence.
