I regret to inform you that a recent “medical emergency” has forced Cardi B to cancel her upcoming performance at the 2024 ONE MusicFest in Atlanta. Cardi B took to social media to inform her fans, known as the “Bardi Gang,” about the unfortunate news. In her statement, the rapper said, “I am so sad to share this news, but I’ve been in the hospital recovering from a medical emergency the last couple of days, and I won’t be able to perform at ONE MusicFest.
It breaks my heart that I won’t get to see my fans this weekend, and I really wish I could be there.” Cardi went on to reassure her fans, saying, “Bardi Gang, thank you for understanding, and I’ll be back better and stronger soon. Don’t worry. Love y’all.”
The festival in Atlanta, set to take place from October 26-27, will now proceed without the original headliner. The lineup will still feature a star-studded roster, including Gunna, Victoria Monét, Earth, Wind & Fire, and many others.
Actress Taraji P. Henson took to Cardi’s comments, urging the rapper to prioritize her health and take the time she needs to recover. “TAKE CARE OF YOU FIRST,” Henson wrote.
This news comes just days after Cardi made headlines for a separate incident involving a prank call to Child Protective Services at her home. The rapper pledged to investigate the “motherf—ing” prank, deeming it excessive.
Cardi unleashed a scathing rant on X, calling her estranged husband, Offset, a “dirty ass narcissistic piece of s—.” However, she clarified that Offset was not involved in the CPS incident.
As Cardi B focuses on her recovery, her fans and the music community are wishing her a speedy return to the stage. The ONE MusicFest organizers stated they are working to find a replacement performer for Cardi’s scheduled slot.
This medical emergency is the latest setback for Cardi, who revealed earlier this year that a “freak accident” had left her in intense pain and nearly resulted in a pregnancy loss. The resilient rapper continues to face challenges, but her legion of loyal fans remains steadfast in their support.
