Cardi B has announced the cancellation of her highly anticipated performance at ONE Musicfest, citing a medical emergency that has left fans both disappointed and concerned. The rapper took to social media on October 23 to share that she has been hospitalized and will not be able to participate in the festival, scheduled for this weekend.
“I am so sad to share this news, but I’ve been in the hospital recovering from a medical emergency the last couple of days and I won’t be able to perform at ONE Music Fest,” she wrote on her X (formerly Twitter) account. Cardi expressed her deep disappointment about missing the show and reassured her dedicated fans, known as the “Bardi Gang,” of her commitment to returning stronger. “Thank you for understanding and I’ll be back better and stronger soon. Don’t worry. Love y’all,” she concluded her message.

Organisers Statement
Following her announcement, the festival organizers released a statement confirming Cardi B’s absence. “Unfortunately, @iamcardib announced that she is no longer available to join us this year due to ongoing health issues,” they stated, urging fans to keep the rapper in their thoughts as they work to find a replacement performer on short notice.
Cardi B was set to join a star-studded lineup at ONE Musicfest, featuring artists such as Fantasia, Ari Lennox, Method Man and Redman, and GloRilla, among others. The cancellation comes just months after the rapper experienced a serious injury that nearly resulted in a pregnancy loss, a situation she described as a “freak accident.”
Cardi B Relationship Dynamic
In a separate development, Cardi B has been vocal about her tumultuous relationship with estranged husband Offset, labelling him a “dirty ass narcissistic” individual in a series of now-deleted tweets. The couple, who have faced an on-again, off-again relationship over the past few months, are currently embroiled in a bitter divorce battle.
In one tweet, Cardi expressed her frustration, stating, “Bro, I wish the worst on this man,” highlighting the depth of their conflict. When a fan suggested she refrain from bashing Offset, she acknowledged his role as the father of their three children but reiterated her disdain for him.
The rapper’s struggles have gained attention alongside her professional setbacks, raising concerns among fans about her health and well-being as she navigates these challenges.
