Cardi B opened up about an intense medical scare she experienced, during a chat on Twitter Spaces, shared on Aug. 6.

She said the incident nearly caused her to lose her unborn child.

“I had a fucking freak accident. I don’t know how something – well, it wasn’t little, it actually hurt,” she said, as she stumbled while explaining her crisis without revealing her actual diagnosis. “It doesn’t really happen often, but it become so big to the point I was literally paralyzed,” she said. “And that little thing almost cost me my little one to come.”

Fortunately, “it didn’t,” she said, “Yesterday, I was feeling good. I came home, but I came home high as a kite.”

She went on to tell fans how she was feeling after the frightening ordeal.

She went on to add some light-hearted humor to the serious discussion.
