Rapper Bhad Bhabie Appears to Confirm Cancer Diagnosis at 21

Less than eight months after rapper Bhad Bhabie gave birth to her first baby, she appears to have been diagnosed with cancer.

“I’m sorry my cancer medicine made me loose [sic] weight,” Bhabie, 21, wrote via her Instagram Story on Thursday, November 7. “I’m slowly gaining back. So, stop running [with] the worst narratives 💕.”

Bhabie, whose real name is Danielle Bregoli, has not further commented on her apparent diagnosis. Her Thursday message and potential reveal was penned in response to an onslaught of comments about her weight.

After Bhabie posted several selfies onto her Instagram last month, social media commenters claimed that she had gotten “too thin.”

“What happened to her? I dont know abt her and I know her recently please someone explain to me,” one user wrote.

Another added, “I feel so bad you were looking so good now you seem really off and I’m worried.”

Earlier this year in March, Bhabie gave birth to her first child, daughter Kali Love, whom she shares with Le Vaughn.

“The name doesn’t really have any specific meaning, it’s just his mom picked the middle name and then I had a list of five names I liked, and Kali was one of them,” Bhabie previously told People. “I thought that Love went good with Kali.”

The social media phenom first rose to fame in 2016 when she appeared on Dr. Phil in a segment called “I Want to Give Up My Car-Stealing, Knife-Wielding, Twerking 13-Year-Old Daughter Who Tried to Frame Me for a Crime.” Bhabie subsequently earned the viral nickname “Cash Me Outside Girl.”

The next year, she debuted a rap career.

“I’ve always loved music. When I first started, I didn’t really have the confidence and didn’t think I could actually do it,” Bhabie told Basic Magazine in an October 2023 profile. “I was working with a lot of cowriters, but now, I do most of the writing by myself. I’ve definitely evolved. I’ve always loved music and rapping, so making it a profession came naturally to me.”

She added, “I feel like a lot of my older music was kind of childish, but I was young —14 and 15 years old. I’m 18 years old now and I’m definitely going to show that I’m more mature when it comes to both my content and its delivery. … I’ve made a lot of my own music before, but it was mostly about what the label wanted. When you’re signed, they’re just thinking of hits and marketing, especially because I was so young. I didn’t have a lot of choices or a strong voice. But I’m older now. I understand the game now.”
