The ‘I Like It’ singer left fans in the UK disappointed when she pulled out of the music festival with just days ahead.

Cardi B has shown off her painful looking swollen feet as she took time out of the limelight to recover from surgery and after cancelling live music events.

The mum-of-two took to social media on Saturday to show off her swollen feet – which ballooned after taking a flight.



Cardi – whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar – shared a photo of her feet resting up on a counter with strap marks all over her feet.

“Look how swollen my feet get every time I take flights my stomach gets even more puffy,” she wrote on the painful image.

She also hit out at those who had suggested she had cancelled a string of live music events due to low ticket sales.

“Reasons why my doctor told me to chill on shows cause my feet and stomach burn when I get puffed up NOT due to ticket sales. Stop fakin here,” the star raged.

“I have some news for y’all. I should have canceled today,” she said at Beale Street Music Festival. “I shouldn’t really be performing because moving too much is gonna f— up my lipo. But bitch I’m still gonna get my money back, let’s go!”

“You know, I hate canceling shows because I love money,” she said. “I’m a money addict, and I get paid a lot of money, a lot of money for these shows … like I’m cancelling millions of dollars in shows.”

“But like, health is wealth, so I have to do what I have to do,” she added. “My breasts gotta f—ing heal, and it is what it is … My doctor was like, ‘Yo, you cannot be doing all these shows because you’re not fully healed.’ ”

Cardi said that she’s worried about her body.

“I gotta get better,” she said. “The way that my body be swelling up when I catch planes and s—, it’s so scary that I be freaking out. Like I really be freaking out.”

She also fought back at the critics who said that she should exercise instead of getting plastic surgery.

“My job as an entertainer is a 24-hour job, bro. So, no, I don’t have time to work out,” she said.

“And I wanted specific things that I know that no matter how much I work out, is not going to get fixed. Like my boobs, no matter how much I work out, they’re not going to lift themselves. So yeah, I have to get surgery. That’s right. All right? … I can do whatever I want with my body.”

“My doctor was like, ‘Yo, you cannot be doing all these shows because you’re not fully healed and I keep telling you this and then if something happens to you, you gonna to try to blame me,” Cardi said via Instagram at the time.
