Cardi B is warning her fans against rushing into getting a Brazilian butt lift (BBL).
Rapper Cardi B is sharing her Brazilian butt lift (BBL) experience. The 'Up' hitmaker has revealed that she underwent surgery to reverse 95% of her butt injections.
She made the comments during a recent Instagram Live. Cardi B, who has two children - Kulture (4) and Wave (15 months), told her followers that many people thought she got her body done after giving birth to her second child.
"In August I got surgery and I removed 95% of my biopolymers... if you don't know what it is, it's ass shots. It was a really crazy process. All 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 ass,' so you result to a** shots, DON'T!" she said, according to People magazine.

The 30-year-old told GQ magazine in 2018 that she got buttocks filler in a basement in Queens, New York. She paid $800 (R14,000) for the illegal procedure.
"They don't numb your a** 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," she told the publication.

Fast forward to 2022 and Cardi B is urging her fans to do their research before making any changes to their bodies.
"When it comes to BBLs, if y'all want advice from me before you get your BBL done you have to make sure your blood levels are all right. If a doctor says your blood levels are too low or you have diabetes or whatever, don't do it," she said in her Instagram Live.
Cardi B's surgeries include a boob job and rhinoplasty. She has admitted in the past that the surgeries helped improve her confidence.
Cardi B, who is married to rapper Offset, hasn't given up on buttocks surgery since her botched basement procedure. The 'WAP' hitmaker revealed earlier this month that she "took a lil' trip to the doctor" to get her "body right".
