Cardi B Hospitalized Due to ‘Medical Emergency,’ Withdraws from One Music Fest

Cardi B, the chart-topping rapper known for hits like “WAP,” has been hospitalized due to a medical emergency, forcing her to pull out of her highly anticipated performance at Atlanta’s One Music Fest. This unexpected health issue comes just a month after Cardi gave birth to her third child, and while she hasn’t shared many details about her condition, the rapper reassured fans she’ll return stronger. In an emotional message posted to her social media accounts, Cardi expressed her regret about missing the festival. “I am so sad to share this news, but I’ve been in the hospital recovering from a medical emergency the last couple of days, and I won’t be able to perform at ONE Music Fest,” she wrote.

A Heartfelt Apology to Fans

Cardi’s message reflected her disappointment in missing the opportunity to connect with her fans. “It breaks my heart that I won’t get to see my fans this weekend and I really wish I could be there,” she continued. “Bardi Gang — thank you for understanding, and I’ll be back better and stronger soon. Don’t worry. Love y’all.” Though she didn’t elaborate on the specific nature of the medical emergency, her team has not yet commented further. One Music Fest shared Cardi’s message on Instagram and asked fans to keep her in their thoughts. “Unfortunately, @iamcardib announced that she is no longer available to join us this year due to ongoing health issues,” the festival organizers posted. “Let’s all keep her in our prayers for a full recovery!”

A Complicated Recovery After Pregnancy

This health setback follows an already challenging postpartum period for Cardi. In a recent interview, she shared details about a “freak accident” during her pregnancy that caused her to tear a ligament in her pelvis. The injury created complications, leading to intense contractions and dilation. “I was having contractions every two minutes for a whole 24 hours,” she recalled, explaining that doctors had to monitor her closely while she remained immobilized for two days. Despite the challenges, Cardi remains optimistic about her recovery, reassuring her followers, “I’ll be back and stronger than ever.”

One Music Fest Continues with a Star-Studded Lineup

One Music Fest, which is known for celebrating a blend of hip-hop, R&B, and soul, will go on despite Cardi’s absence. Festival organizers are actively working to find a last-minute replacement. The two-day event will still feature an impressive lineup of artists, including Earth, Wind & Fire, Nelly, Gunna, Jill Scott, Glorilla, Victoria Monét, and Sexy Red. While fans are disappointed that Cardi won’t be able to perform, many have taken to social media to offer their support, wishing her a swift recovery. The Bardi Gang — Cardi’s passionate fanbase — has rallied around her, expressing excitement for her eventual return to the stage. As Cardi focuses on her health and recovery, fans are hopeful she’ll be back performing soon. For now, the message is clear: her well-being comes first.
