Bhad Bhabie says cancer drugs caused weight loss

Rapper Bhad Bhabie responded to recent criticism over her appearance, saying her weight loss was due to “cancer medication.”

“I’m sorry for the loss of my cancer medication [sic] Weight,” Bhabie, 21, wrote in a post shared to her Instagram Stories on November 7.

“I’m slowly getting it back. So stop spreading the worst narratives.”

The actress (real name: Danielle Bregoli) didn’t reveal any details about her illness — or the specific medications she’s taking.

Her post received comments from fans and critics alike, noting that she looked “thinner,” “damn her whole face has changed,” and “she looks so different.”

Following her post about taking cancer medication, fans commented: “People need to show more empathy instead of jumping to conclusions and making assumptions.”

“I pray for you and your health!!! Your baby needs you!!” another fan added.

Bhabie – who became an overnight online sensation after 2016 Dr. Phil gig – where she infamously said: “Pay me outside, how about that?” – turned her notoriety into a music and modeling career. She recently posed for Marc Jacobs while pregnant with her first child, daughter Kali Love, whom she welcomed with boyfriend Le Vaughn.

She also starred in a reality series for Snapchat titled raise Bhabie, in 2019.
