Cardi B confessed that she previously underwent a butt reduction surgery and was stuck on bed rest for three months following the procedure.
The 32-year-old rapper made the reveal during her viral appearance on Wednesday’s Call Her Daddy podcast episode.
The star — who is expecting a child with NFL star Stefon Diggs — said she ‘already’ got the procedure done while addressing unsolicited comments about her body from people telling her to reduce her Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).
She also said she still wishes her backside was even smaller sometimes but confessed she would not go through the reduction procedure again.
‘I look at myself in the mirror, and it’s like, I really wouldn’t change a thing,’ Cardi told podcast host Alex Cooper.
‘Maybe I would like my butt to be smaller, but it’s, like I said, it’s really hard for my butt to be smaller [and] I already did,’ she continued.



‘I already did a reduction already and people will be like, “Well, you need to reduce your butt more.”‘
She then pointed out how some people overestimate the ease of the surgical procedure and underestimate the discomfort of the recovery process.
‘And it’s like, I think you guys think that people just plug something inside my a**hole and just suck it out,’ she said jokingly and earnestly at the same time.
She also shed insight on the lengthy recovery process and admitted she does not want to go through weeks of being bedbound again.
‘For me to reduce my butt, I have to literally sit on the table, get cut from the bottom, get cut from the top, and be on bed rest for three months,’ she explained.
‘So it’s like, I’m not gonna put myself in that position again because you don’t like my body.’
The Up hitmaker added: ‘I’m comfortable. I learn to live with it. I don’t get no complaints from nobody and it is what it is.’


She also shared words of advice to Cooper and listeners: ‘It’s just like, you can’t let people turn you crazy.’
Back in 2022, she also talked about her BBL, warning fans about the dangers of getting the procedure done.
She also revealed that year that she got 95 percent of previous butt injections dissolved.
The Grammy-winning artist also addressed widespread fan speculation about her body and her love life on the podcast.
‘There’s a rumor that my boyfriend dumped me because my BBL stink,’ she said.
She denied the allegations and added that she is ‘very, very’ particular about how she smells.
‘I don’t know who made the rumors that BBLs stink, but it doesn’t … stink. How will a BBL stink if you have no open wounds?’ She also confirmed that her relationship with Diggs is ‘good.’




The day after the podcast episode was released, Cardi stepped out in a super short shorts and a crop top for a meet and greet event at Fingerprints Music in Long Beach on Thursday.
Cardi — the stage name of Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar — was promoting her second studio album, Am I the Drama?, which she dropped on September 19 last week.
For the event to mingle with her fans, she wore a white graphic T-shirt with lyrics from one of her new songs and a photo of the viral confused facial expression she made while in court last month.
She wore snakeskin-patterned, platform boots with sky-high heels paired with massive, gold earrings and a camo-printed baseball cap.
Back in August, Cardi B went up on the witness stand to give her testimony after a security guard sued her for $24 million in a fingernail attack.
The rapper has since been cleared of the assault and battery charges in the civil lawsuit.
