When 2020 came over, Cardi decided to bite the bullet and go under the knife. Thankfully, Kim, 42, was there. “I remember the time we were at Kris [Jenner’s] house, and Kim [Kardashian] gave you a list of people you could call to get help. You didn’t call none of those people, you just did it at home?” asked host Lee. “No, I called a couple of people that [Kim] gave me,” said Cardi.
Cardi also clarified a misconception about her surgery. She said that some thought she went under the knife after her husband, Offset welcomed their boy, Wave, but that isn’t the case. “A lot of people thought that, like, when I gave birth, I automatically went to get surgery,” she told the Hollywood Unlocked founder. “No, I literally waited like seven months to do surgery.”
“The tea is after I gave birth to my son, [Wave] my a** was f****** huge,” Cardi said during a Dec. 2022 Instagram Live. “In August, I did surgery, and I removed 95% of my biopolymers… if you don’t know what it is, it’s a** shots. It was a really crazy process. l I’m going to say is that if you’re young, if you’re 19, 20, 21, and sometimes you’re too skinny, and you be like, ‘OMG, I don’t have enough fat to put in my a**,’ so you result to ass shots, b**** don’t f****** do it. I am super super super super against mother f****** a** shots,”
