Cardi B is setting the record straight as fans speculate about her curves.
After a video of the rapper’s hourglass figure led some people online to accuse her of undergoing plastic surgery, Cardi shut down the rumor mill by sharing a snapshot and video of herself in form-fitting dresses on X Saturday (Oct. 5). “Y’all really need to relax ..This is how my body REALLY LOOKS LIKE,” she wrote.
“My body looks exaggerated in the other video cause I have a 5X faja on…I want yall to think wit yall brain,” the “WAP” musician continued, referring to her shapewear. “Yall was just praising my body couple days ago …do yall think I went and got surgery in 2 days ?😫😂”
Cardi’s post came as a response specifically to one person who tweeted, “The fact Cardi B really did that to her body is pissing me off! 😔😒.. Like y’all gotta start loving yourself ladies!”
Around the same time, a clip taken from the Grammy winner’s Instagram Story was circulating on X. In the video, Cardi filmed her reflection in the mirror — showing off her slim waist and impossibly round hips — while lamenting how she struggles to lose weight around her face.

Shortly after revealing that she’d actually been wearing hip enhancements in the video, the Whipshots founder also retweeted a fan’s post that noted, “you can’t get surgery unless the child you had 6months and up anyway.”
Cardi, who welcomed her third baby with estranged husband Offset in September, simply replied, “THANK YOU.”
The “Up” musician has previously been open about going under the knife to modify her body, at one point postponing shows under doctor’s orders to recover from plastic surgery 2019.
