Cardi B reveals ‘freak accident’ caused brief paralysis and near miscarriage

Cardi B has revealed that she had a ‘freak accident’ that caused serious harm that nearly resulted in her miscarrying her third child.

Cardi B, real name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, is currently pregnant with her third child which she revealed to the world earlier this month shortly after filing for divorce from her husband Offset.

The 31-year-old, who is also mum to daughter Kulture and son Wave, has revealed that the pregnancy has not all been plain sailing and just a week after revealing her pregnancy she has been involved in a ‘freak accident’.

In a message on X spaces chat, the WAP singer revealed: ‘I had a f*****g freak accident. That’s what I have to explain I don’t know how something – well, it wasn’t little, it actually hurt.’

‘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.’

People reported that she then later explained that she fell down the stairs. ‘I was going down the stairs and I slipped a little,’ she said on August 8 in another X Spaces message. ‘I practically fell, but I was trying to prevent myself from falling, so I was holding myself on the railing. My foot still slipped, and I kind of busted my a*s.

‘I dilated and I was having contractions for every two minutes for a whole 24 hours. So they had to monitor me and I was in a lot of pain. I couldn’t move for two days straight.’

The star also revealed that she was given morphine to treat her pain. ‘Yesterday I was feeling good. I came home, but I came home high as a kite. 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 f**k,’ she explained in the voice message.

‘I’mma exaggerate this s**t so I can get more morphine. Morphine me down! I don’t give a damn.

‘Oh my god, this is probably why b*****s are getting addicted to drugs and s**t ’cause I ain’t gonna lie to you when them motherf*****s were shooting that morphine in me I was timing it every f******g four hours, every four hours I was waiting for my s**t,’ she concluded.

The star announced her third pregnancy in a social media post on August 1 that showed the I Like It rapper in a draped red gown with her bump poking through a gap.

Cardi cradled her bump in the photo and captioned the image: ‘With every ending comes a new beginning! 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!’ the caption read.

Cardi and Offset first started dating in 2017, and married in September of that year. According to reports, Cardi has acquired a lawyer and is seeking a divorce from her husband.

This isn’t the first time the couple has split and it was reported in 2020 that Cardi submitted documents to end their marriage, but the matter was dropped. The couple has yet to confirm their current relationship status.
