Cardi B<\/strong><\/a> is opening up about a recent body transformation.<\/p>\n

“A lot of y’all keep telling me to go get my ass reduced. Newsflash, I did got my ass reduced,” the “Imaginary Playerz” rapper, 33, said in a recent Instagram livestream, a clip of which has been recirculating via X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She added, “I can’t just go and [liposuction] my butt because my skin is kinda loose, like, that’s why my ass shakes so much. So if I just go and get a lipo reduction — that is the easy way — my ass could drop. So I would have to cut myself, and I’m not cutting myself. I’m not sitting down for four months, bitch. I’m outside, like I said.”<\/p>\n

As for the reason for her smaller behind, Cardi said she decided to have the reduction because of her “small” frame. “I’m a very small, petite girl. My mom is petite. My sister’s petite. My aunts are small,” she said, per People<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I like my body how it looks right now. I’m comfortable in my skin,” she added.<\/p>\n

Clapping back at criticism over her body, the rapper said, “Y’all acting like you’re new to this. Y’all have been seeing my body for how many years now? Too many.”<\/p>\n

“Why every single time that I look good, y’all talking about I’m doing a surgery?” she continued. “I haven’t got surgeries since January 2024, and even in January 2024, I didn’t went and got lipo, I got my f***ing ass reduced, like y’all told me to do.”<\/p>\n

Cardi previously revealed to GQ<\/em><\/a> in 2018 that she had her buttocks illegally injected with filler by an unlicensed practitioner in a basement in Queens, New York, for $800 when she was 21.<\/p>\n

“When I was 21, I did not have enough meat on my body — if I was to get lipo, I wouldn’t have fat for my ass,” she said, explaining why she opted to have filler injected instead.<\/p>\n

Cardi recalled, “They don’t numb your ass with anything. It was the craziest pain ever. I felt like I was gonna pass out. I felt a little dizzy. And it leaks for, like, five days.”<\/p>\n

At the time, Cardi told GQ<\/em> she planned to return to the woman for a touch-up but said, “By the time I was gonna go get it, the lady got locked up ’cause she’s supposedly killed somebody. Well, somebody died on her table.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Cardi teased going to Colombia to have her behind further reduced<\/a>. “After this tour, I’m taking some out,” she said in a video shared by Big Boy’s Neighborhood via Instagram. “After this tour, I don’t wanna hear nobody for three months. I’m going to Colombia … nobody hit me up, nothing. I’m taking this ass out!”<\/p>\n

However, the following month, she backtracked during an appearance on the Today<\/em><\/a> show. “I was saying that, but I’m not gonna do it,” the rapper said. “I was just gonna take a little bit of butt out, but I don’t have time for that.”<\/p>\n
