Cardi B is getting body-shamed online after proudly displaying new stomach piercings and the natural texture surrounding her post-pregnancy midsection.
The Bronx rapper shared close-up footage of several jeweled pieces stretching across her torso while wearing a tiny cropped shirt.
Instead of discussing the jewelry, several social media users zoomed in on her skin and began posting insults about its uneven appearance, as viewers blamed surgery for every visible crease.
The comments arrived almost a year after Cardi B welcomed her fourth child, a son with New England Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs. She gave birth in November 2025 before completing an arena tour and returning to intense rehearsals several months after delivery.
Cardi has never hidden her cosmetic history, which includes breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, liposuction and dangerous biopolymer injections received inside a basement.
She recently confirmed that she reduced those injections in January 2024 after followers repeatedly questioned why her famous backside appeared noticeably smaller.
“A lot of y’all keep telling me to go get my ass reduced,” Cardi explained during an Instagram Live session.
“I don’t need to go get my ass reduced. News flash, I did get my ass reduced. I can’t just go and lipo my butt because my skin is like kinda loose.”
The rapper said another liposuction procedure could make the area sag further, while removing loose skin would require an invasive operation.
Cardi has undergone two liposuction procedures and one reduction, but she insists that her desire to change her appearance never stemmed from constant insecurity.
“I never really been insecure,” she explained during a 2025 appearance on “Call Her Daddy.”
“I just really like, I just like a certain type of bodies. And it’s like, if I have the money and if I could, I’m gonna change it if I want to.”
Pregnancy has also repeatedly changed Cardi’s relationship with her stomach, weight and the public expectation that celebrity mothers recover almost immediately. After Kulture’s 2018 birth, Cardi discussed loose skin and unwanted “love handles” while balancing childcare against pressure to restore her former figure.
“I’m used to having, like, a real tight stomach,” she said while considering another procedure. “If I’m not working, I gotta make sure my baby’s okay. I might just get a little lipo, you know what I’m sayin’?”
Cardi previously rejected another round of surgery because recovery would interrupt her schedule, saying she now feels “comfortable in my skin.”
