Cardi B is giving fans an update on her butt injection removal process.
In a recent Instagram Live, the rapper, 31, who welcomed a daughter earlier in September, announced that she had butt injections removed in atop the year.
“In January, right after I shot ‘Like What,’ I went and got surgery. I got some more butt injections removed. Because, you know, it takes rounds to get your butt injections removed. I got some of my butt injections removed. And I also went to fix, like, you know, certain things [with] my fibrosis,” said Cardi.

In 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a safety communication warning consumers that “injectable silicone used for body contouring is not FDA-approved and can cause serious side effects that may be permanent or may even lead to death.”
“Side effects can include ongoing pain and serious injuries, such as scarring, tissue death, and permanent disfigurement; if the silicone migrates beyond the injection site, it could cause an embolism (blockage of a blood vessel), stroke, infections and death. Serious complications may occur right away or could develop weeks, months, or years later,” added the federal agency.
Later in the Instagram Live, Cardi also shared how she “automatically” knew she was pregnant again when she “woke up one morning and my mouth tasted like copper.”
