Cardi B is Fastexyon the mend.
Less than a week after the "I Like It" rapper announced she was pregnant with her estranged husband Offset's third baby, she revealed she that spent three days in the hospital due to an unspecified accident left her temporarily paralyzed.
"I had a f--king freak accident," Cardi said on X Spaces Aug. 6. "That's how I have to explain it because I don't know how something that doesn't happen often became something that is so big—to the point where I was literally paralyzed. That little thing almost caused my little one to come, but it didn't."
"Thank God when I had the freak accident, my dad was here," she continued. "We thought it wasn't going to be a big issue, but then it became a big issue. Yesterday, I thought I was feeling better when I got sent home from the hospital but I was still on morphine. Now that I'm home and I just woke up today, I'm in pain."
The 31-year-old shared that she is taking a steroid while she's on bed rest. "I really wish I could avoid taking prednisone right now 'cause it's still a steroid and the baby," she explained referencing her concerns about taking the medicine while pregnant. "But I am in so much pain it's not even f--king funny."
However, if the pain didn't subside, Cardi planned on taking a trip back to the hospital.
"I don't give a f--k," she quipped, "Imma exaggerate this s--t so I can get more morphine. Morphine me down! I don't give a damn."
Cardi—who is mom to daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, 6, and son Wave Set Cephus, 2, with Offset—shared that she was expecting hours after filing for divorce.
"With every ending comes a new beginning!" she wrote on Instagram Aug. 1. "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!"
The "WAP" rapper—who had shared she was single months before ending her marriage to the Migos alum after six years—posted photos from a glamorous photoshoot in front of the New York City skyline while donning a deep red gown.
"With every ending comes a new beginning," she noted. "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!"
Cardi also shared a sweet message for her unborn baby, writing, "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," she concluded. "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!"
