Cardi B Says She's 'Very Depressed' That She Can't Stop Losing Weight Since Giving Birth

"I don’t like looking too skinny," the Bronx-born rapper said in an Instagram Live video this week.

Cardi B recently opened up about some post-pregnancy body changes she's struggling with. On Thursday, November 15, the Bronx-born rapper went on Instagram Live and shared that she's been "very depressed" because she's lost so much weight since the birth of her daughter, Kulture, this July.

“I've been very depressed because I cannot stop losing weight,” Cardi said in the video. “And it’s so crazy because when I first gave birth, I did everything to lose my baby weight. I was drinking Teami so it could curb my appetite and now that I lost all the baby weight in my stomach and in my arms and in my face, now I want to gain weight, but now I can’t gain weight because I have a terrible appetite. I can literally go 24 hours without eating.”

She went on to add that part of this discomfort with her weight loss has to do with her past. "I used to look too skinny as a teenager, and I used to hate it and I hate it now," she said. "It's been really depressing me, making me sad."

It's not the first time Cardi has spoken candidly about how she's dealing with motherhood. Earlier this year, she dropped out of a high-profile tour alongside Bruno Mars, citing her new baby as the reason. "I also thought that I'd be able to bring [Kulture Kiari] with me on tour," she explained. "But I think I underestimated this whole mommy thing."

Still, learning to balance her baby and her career hasn't stopped Cardi from continuing to dominate the music industry. Her first performance after giving birth stole the show at the 2018 AMAs, and she even dropped a few bars on an explosive new song that features Selena Gomez. She also just landed a role on Netflix's upcoming hip hop competition series and launched a collection with Fashion Nova.

Cardi may be figuring some things out still, but she's got her career on lock.
