American rapper Cardi B has always been unapologetically honest about her cosmetic procedures — from liposuction and teeth veneers to breast augmentation and most recently, butt reduction surgery. But now, the 32-year-old star says she’s done with going under the knife.
In a recent appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, dressed in her boyfriend Stefon Diggs’ NFL jersey, Cardi opened up about her journey with cosmetic surgery, particularly her butt reduction. “It didn’t hurt,” she said, “but I’m not going to recommend it because I had surgery. People say my butt is too big, but they don’t know — I already had it reduced.”
The WAP hitmaker revealed that years of body shaming influenced her decision, and while the surgery was mostly painless, it left parts of her skin numb. “I practically did a tummy tuck on my ass to remove some biopolymers,” she said. That numbness even led her to get a $13,000 diamond butt crack piercing, which she later lost — literally down the toilet.
Despite the past struggles with public opinion, Cardi says she’s reached a point of body acceptance. “I look at myself in the mirror, and I really wouldn’t change a thing. Maybe I’d like my butt a little smaller, but I already did a reduction,” she shared. Cardi emphasized she won’t undergo further procedures just to please critics: “I’m not going to put myself in that position again because you don’t like my body. I’m comfortable.”
