Cardi B recently shared alarming news with her fans, revealing that she was hospitalized after a “freak accident” that nearly resulted in the loss of her pregnancy. The rapper, who had just announced her third pregnancy on Instagram, took to X Spaces on August 7, 2024, to discuss the terrifying incident.
While Cardi B didn’t delve into the exact details of the accident, she mentioned that the experience left her hospitalized for two to three days. During her X Spaces session, Cardi described the severity of the situation, stating that at one point, she felt “literally paralyzed” due to the accident’s impact. The rapper expressed gratitude that the accident did not ultimately harm her unborn child, but she acknowledged how close she came to a tragedy.
“And that little thing almost cost me my little one to come. But it didn’t,” Cardi B told her fans. She also mentioned that she was feeling better after returning home, though she joked about still being “high as a kite” from the medication she received in the hospital. However, she admitted that once the medication wore off, she felt as though she was “dying,” and even considered returning to the hospital if her condition didn’t improve within a few hours.

In her typically candid style, Cardi also humorously admitted that she exaggerated her pain to get more morphine, laughing as she recalled telling the doctors, “Morphine me down.”
Despite the harrowing experience, Cardi B’s enthusiasm for her upcoming album hasn’t wavered. During the same X Spaces stream, she asked her fans, “You think I could record lying down?”—a sign that her focus on her music remains strong, even as she recovers from the accident.
Cardi B’s recent revelations come on the heels of her announcement that she is divorcing Offset, with whom she shares two children, Kulture and Wave. In an Instagram post on August 2, 2024, the rapper reflected on her pregnancy and the new chapter in her life, writing, “Every ending entails a new beginning.” She went on to express gratitude for the love and strength her unborn child has brought into her life, saying, “You have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all!”

Cardi B’s ability to maintain her passion for music, despite the challenges she’s facing, has been inspiring to her fans.
