‘Overzealous’ Cardi B postpones tour to recover from liposuction

Cardi B has postponed concerts through the end of May to allow her body time to recover from post-baby liposuction and breast surgery.

A show Tuesday night in El Paso, Texas, was postponed, as was the rapper’s appearance at a Memorial Day weekend event in Baltimore.

“Cardi was overzealous in getting back to work; she didn’t take the time necessary to fully recover from her surgery,� the rapper’s rep told People. “Her strenuous schedule has taken a toll on her body and she has been given strict doctor’s orders to pull out of the rest of her performances in May.�

Radio station 92QJams in Baltimore said Tuesday that its 92Q Spring Bling Festival was being postponed until Sept. 8. The event had been set for Friday.

Cardi B admitted earlier this month that she’d gotten liposuction and breast work done in the time since her daughter was born last year.

“I have some news for y’all. I should have canceled today,� she said May 5 at the Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis, according to People. “I shouldn’t really be performing because moving too much is gonna [mess] up my lipo.�

Shortly before that, she’d told Entertainment Tonight that she’d gotten her breasts done as well. Kulture, her daughter with husband Offset, is now 10 months old.

“[I]t’s actually like a very long process, recovery,� she told E! News about her liposuction in early May, when she admitted she had told fans because she didn’t like lying about things. “It actually takes like a little bit more than three or four months.�

On another topic, earlier this week, Cardi posted a profane “public service announcement� on Instagram advising fans who see her in public to simply come up to her and say hi rather than screaming out her name and asking her dumb questions.

A rep for Cardi didn’t reply to The Times’ request for comment Wednesday.
