Cardi B is opening up about an intense medical scare she recently experienced.
The rapper, 31, spoke to fans in a recent X Spaces chat after announcing her pregnancy with her third child on Aug. 1, reportedly sharing that she recently experienced a “freak accident” that left her briefly “paralyzed” and almost caused a pregnancy loss.

“I had a f–king freak accident. I don’t know how something — well, it wasn’t little, it actually hurt,” the “I Like It” singer said without specifying details or a diagnosis.
“It doesn’t really happen often, but it became so big to the point I was literally paralyzed,” she added. “And that little thing almost cost me my little one to come.”
Fortunately, “it didn’t,” she shared. “Yesterday I was feeling good. I came home, but I came home high as a kite.”
Cardi continued to update her fans on how she’s feeling, saying, “Today, I woke up sober, honey. I’m dying. If I don’t feel good in four hours, I’m going to the hospital and I don’t give a f—.”
“I’mma exaggerate this s— so I can get more morphine. Morphine me down! I don’t give a damn,” she added with a laugh.
Cardi initially announced she’s pregnant and expecting her third baby on Instagram on Thursday, Aug 1, just one day after she filed for divorce from husband Offset, 32, after six years of marriage. The former couple shares son Wave Set, 2½, and daughter Kulture Kiari, 6.
“With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power!” Cardi wrote in her caption alongside a few photos of herself in a red dress, baring her belly.

“It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and tests laying down, but you, your brother, and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!” she concluded her post.
