Cardi B told fans not to worry on Wednesday, but she won’t be able to perform as scheduled in Atlanta this weekend due to a “medical emergency.”
“I am sad to share this news but I have been in the hospital recovering from a medical emergency for the past few days and I will not be able to perform at ONE MusicFest,” the “WAP” rapper told his fans in a statement on social media.
The 32-year-old was scheduled to headline the Georgia festival alongside bands such as Earth, Wind & Fire and Nelly.
“It breaks my heart that I won’t be seeing my fans this weekend and I really wish I could be there. Bardi Gang – thank you for your understanding and I’ll be back better and stronger soon. Don’t worry. Love yall,” she added, signing off: “Cardi.”

“Unfortunately, @iamcardib has announced that she is no longer available to join us this year due to ongoing health issues,” the festival said. “Let’s all pray for her full recovery! We are working hard to find a replacement at this late date. More will be added soon.”
The “Bodak Yellow” singer’s social media was flooded with well wishes following her announcement.
“Aww I hope you get well soon! We love you,” one person wrote, while another said, “Your health is more important. Get well soon,” and a third wrote, “feeling better queen,” along with a crying emoji.

While Cardi B did not provide further details about her condition, her hospital stay comes a month after she gave birth to her third child, a daughter, with her soon-to-be ex-husband Offset.
They also share daughter Kulture, 6, and son Wave, 3.
On Monday, Cardi B live-streamed from her hospital bed on Instagram, criticizing pranksters who called child protective services to say her children were in danger, according to the New York Post.

“So I want to make this very clear and I can’t even breathe right now,” the singer said. “Fuck—— you went too far when you messed with my fucking children.”
She added, “For Child Protective Services to come to my damn house? Not my house, my gated mansion at 11 o’clock at night while my kids are sleeping because there was an anonymous call going on. My kids were abused and beaten. Are you stupid?”
