The rapper opened up about the past ordeal during a new appearance on social media, when she took to X Spaces shortly after revealing that she is pregnant with her third child.
While she didn’t go into specific details about the nature of the incident, she did confirm that the moment led to her needing emergency intervention.
“I had a fucking freak accident. I don’t know how — it wasn’t little, it actually hurt,” she told her fans while appearing live on the social media platform (via Billboard).
She didn’t confirm what the specific diagnosis was but did say it was rare and led to her being temporarily paralysed. “It doesn’t really happen often, but it became so big to the point I was literally paralysed.
“And that little thing almost cost me my little one to come. But it didn’t. Yesterday I was feeling good. I came home, but I came home high as a kite.”
She continued, “Today, I woke up sober, honey. I’m dying. If I don’t feel good in four hours, I’m going to the hospital and I don’t give a fuck. I’mma exaggerate this shit so I can get more morphine. Morphine me down! I don’t give a damn.”

The discussion came just days after the ‘Bongos’ rapper revealed that she is pregnant with her third child, amidst reports that she was filing for a divorce from Offset.
“With every ending comes a new beginning!” she said.
“I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all! You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion!
“I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do! It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”
Cardi B is also reportedly seeking “primary custody” of her two children with the musician, Kulture and Wave, with a source telling Page Six: “They’ve grown apart. That’s what drove her to this decision more than anything else. This is something she wants to do.”
Elsewhere, Cardi has become increasingly outspoken against Donald Trump in the US Presidential race – criticising the former US President and current Republican candidate for promising police immunity.
She also recently reminded fans that she endorsed Kamala Harris long before Joe Biden withdrew from the race.
