Bhad Bhabie Reveals She Has Cancer in Response to Weight Loss Rumors

Bhad Bhabie is responding to negative rumors about her weight with a health update.

The 21-year-old “Gucci Flip Flops” rapper (real name Danielle Bregoli) took to her Instagram Stories on Thursday (Nov. 7) to explain, “I’m sorry my cancer medication made me loose [sic] weight. Im slowly gaining it back. So stop running w the worst narratives.” 

The star’s mother, Barbara Bregoli, also confirmed the cancer diagnosis on her Instagram, calling out gossip blogger Perez Hilton, who shared a YouTube video implying that Bhad Bhabie may be lying about her health for “attention,” and comparing her to Lil Tay, who made headlines after a death hoax.

“I’m pretty heated right now,” Barbara said in a video she uploaded to Instagram. “How dare you? I pray to God one of your children never get cancer. I’ve had it twice. How dare you say my daughter is faking this?”

Neither Danielle nor Barbara have revealed information as to what type of cancer the rapper has, what medication she’s taking or an update on her current health status. Billboard has reached out to her reps for more information, but have not received a response at the time of publication.

Bhad Bhabie gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Kali Rose, with fellow rapper Le Vaughn in March. She was chronicling her pregnancy on Instagram, including a series of photos with a very visible baby bump and another picture set in early February from what looked like her elaborate, all-pink-everything baby shower for Kali.
