Cardi B has shared a harrowing health scare that nearly cost her the life of her unborn child and left her briefly paralyzed. In a candid conversation on X Spaces, the rapper described the incident as a “freak accident” that caused her severe pain and temporary paralysis.
The 31-year-old rapper, who is currently pregnant with her third child amid ongoing divorce proceedings with estranged husband Offset, revealed the gravity of the situation. “I had a freak accident. It was really painful, and it got so bad that I was literally paralyzed. It almost cost me my baby,” Cardi B explained. She also shared her struggles with the pain, humorously adding, “If I don’t feel better in four hours, I’m going to the hospital and exaggerating my symptoms to get more morphine.”
Cardi B and Offset, who share two children—daughter Kulture, 6, and son Wave, 2—announced earlier this month that they are expecting their third child. The couple’s relationship, which began with a private marriage in 2017, has faced ups and downs, culminating in their recent separation.
Despite the challenges, Cardi B expressed gratitude for her fans’ support and the new beginnings that come with this pregnancy. “With every ending comes a new beginning. I’m so grateful for this season of love, life, and renewed power,” she wrote on Instagram, sharing a photo of her baby bump with the New York City skyline in the background.
As she navigates this difficult period, Cardi B remains optimistic about the future and the joy that her growing family brings.
