Rock’s Biggest 1992 Summer Tour Was a Disaster
As the summer tour season approaches, fans are gearing up to see shows all over the world. There’s something special about outdoor summer concerts, when fans can let loose and vibe with the crowd and the band. However, not every tour goes off without a hitch and there have been several tours that forever have a black eye.
In the summer of 1992, there were a plethora of great bands on tour. U2, Def Leppard, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, The Black Crowes, Skid Row, the late Ozzy Osbourne and more brought music to the masses. It was also the year of the first Lollapalooza tour, which featured Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Ice Cube, Pearl Jam, and Jesus and Mary Chain. But, the biggest tour of the summer of 92 was a co-headlining outing featuring the most popular hard rock and heavy metal bands at the time. The tour started off well, but hit a few snags along the way before it deteriorated into a disaster.
Metallica was on top of the world and on their way to becoming the biggest metal band on the planet with the success of The Black Album, which features the huge hits “Enter Sandman,” “Nothing Else Matters,” “The Unforgiven,” and “Wherever I May Roam.” The group was in the midst of a three-year outing that took them around the world promoting their most-popular album. At the same time, Guns n’ Roses were on tour promoting their two albums, Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II, which spawned hits like “You Could Be Mine,” “Civil War,” “Don’t Cry,” and “November Rain.” The two groups decided to go out on a co-headlining stadium tour with Faith No More opening each night
The 26-date tour kicked off in RFK Stadium in Washington D.C. on July 17, 1992, without a hitch, but things soon began to unravel. There was a tension building between the two acts. Metallica were regimented, playing tight and punctual sets, while GNR were unpredictable and were notorious for late starts. In fact, on their fall tour of 1991, the tickets for Guns N’ Roses concerts stated the band would take the stage “around 9 PM.” In December 1991 at a show in Philadelphia, Guns N’ Roses didn’t take the stage until after midnight, playing until past two in the morning, drawing some ire from an exhausted audience.
The Tour was Plagued with Issues
Outside GNR’s infamous punctuality troubles, there were a myriad of issues on the tour. In Detroit, GNR frontman Axl Rose vomited onstage as the band ended “You Could Be Mine.” He left the stage for a few minutes and returned to apologize, and the band launched into the song and played it again. During GNR’s set at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Axl Rose was hit in the crotch by a lighter thrown by an audience member. He quickly stormed off-stage, leaving bassist Duff McKagen to sing the rest of their cover of Bob Dylan‘s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.” The band left the stage after the song and was supposed to return for an encore. Duff walked out and addressed the audience saying Axl would not be returning, and the show was over.
Axl Rose had been suffering vocal issues on the outing, most likely brought on from the non-stop performances combined with chain-smoking and a lot of drinking. It all came to a head in a perfect storm in Montreal on August 8, 1992. During Metallica’s set, they were playing the intro to “Fade to Black” when James Hetfield accidentally stood on top of a pyrotechnic that was discharged. It sent flames up his body, resulting in second and third-degree burns to his arm, hand, face and back. The band immediately stopped playing and Hetfield was rushed to the hospital. Drummer Lars Ulrich addressed the crowd, explaining James had been injured and was en route to the hospital, and that the band would return to make it up to the fans.
The Riot in Montreal Caused over 400-Thousand Dollars of Damage
Fans waited over two hours after Metallica’s shortened set for Guns N’ Roses to take the stage. The band had only played a few songs when Axl Rose complained about monitor issues and sound problems. He added that his throat was hurting and left the stage, ending the show. The fans, who were already disappointed by Metallica’s short set, combined with a long wait and then GNR’s lackadaisical and truncated show, hit a breaking point.
Fans erupted into violence inside the only indoor stadium of the tour, storming the stage and merchandise stands. Outside the stadium, people overturned police cars, smashed windows, looted, lit bonfires and fought with police. There were multiple injuries and arrests and the chaos caused more than 400-thousand dollars of damage to the city.
In the aftermath of the riot, the two groups were forced to postpone six shows and cancel one in Vancouver. The tour picked back up over two weeks later in Phoenix. Metallica’s guitar tech, John Marshall, joined the band on rhythm guitar since frontman James Hetfield couldn’t play due to his injuries. Thankfully, his voice was fine, and he fronted the band without his guitar for the remainder of the outing.
Who’s Your Perfect Classic Rock Band?
The tension between the two bands was at an all-time high. Metallica felt like GNR could’ve saved the day in Montreal after Hetfield’s accident, and they were bothered by Axl Rose’s nonchalant behavior about the riot while he complained about his voice problems backstage smoking cigarette after cigarette while Montreal was on fire.
Faith No More was Kicked off the Tour by GNR After an Incident
The final incident to take place on the ill-fated tour was during a September show where frontman Mike Patton of Faith No More, took a bottle of urine a fan threw on stage, opened it and poured it all over himself and Axl Rose’s vocal monitor. The band was immediately fired from the tour and replaced with Body Count and Motorhead.
The Guns N’ Roses and Metallica double bill limped to the finish line on October 6, 1992, in Seattle. It was the last big co-headlining rock show of that magnitude for many years as grunge and alternative rock became dominant. Guns N’ Roses kept touring but kept having issues and eventually parted ways, while Metallica just got bigger and bigger, dominating the metal scene for years. Metallica did the right thing and returned to play two shows at the Montreal Forum in February 1993, offering half-priced tickets for fans, while GNR were banned for life from playing Olympic Stadium. A microcosm of the biggest and most disastrous summer tour of 1992.

Following a string of acclaimed performances in recent years, Greta Lee is set to return to the big screen with “Late Fame.”
Speaking about the project in a recent interview, Lee described “Late Fame” as “a precious secret gem.” She also reflected on how she approached the role after replacing the film’s previously attached star, Sandra Hüller.
Lee’s film, “Late Fame,” had its world premiere in the Orizzonti section of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival in August 2025.
Now, nearly a year later, the movie is set to open in select U.S. theaters through Magnolia Pictures.
Reflecting on the film’s journey ahead of its theatrical release, Lee told The Hollywood Reporter that she is “just so appreciative” the movie was made in the first place.
“It does feel like this precious secret gem,” the “Russian Doll” star said of the project. “Certainly that feels reflected in the kind of distribution and release it’s going to have. I’m just hoping that it can find an audience. It’s one of those films that I feel like is this gift that I want people to receive and to get to see it in a theater.”
Greta Lee Felt Gloria Was Always Her Character
In “Late Fame,” Lee plays Gloria, an actress determined to win the attention of former poet Ed Saxberger (Willem Dafoe) after discovering his little-known collection of poetry while searching for acting opportunities.
However, Lee almost never landed the role. She stepped into the part after Sandra Hüller, who had originally been cast, withdrew from the project.
Looking back, Lee said she is grateful the opportunity came her way because she believes the role was meant for her.
“The idea of Gloria and who she was in my mind was so firm and so separate from anyone else, including Sandra,” she said. “It felt like it was mine — like, ‘I really want to take the plunge and run with this idea of exactly who this person is.’”
Greta Lee Says Gloria Is A Character You Rarely See Today
Lee’s enthusiasm for the role was also evident during a Q&A following the film’s screening at the Venice International Film Festival.
“It was one of those moments when I thought, ‘Oh, God, I have to play her.’ Then, when I was lucky enough to get the chance to, I couldn’t believe it,” Lee said at the time, per Deadline.
According to Lee, the kind of woman Gloria represents is rarely seen today, which is why she had extensive conversations with director Kent Jones to ensure every detail of the character felt authentic.
“The kind of woman who is incredibly nostalgic and romantic and looking to the past, looking to women like Marlene Dietrich,” Lee noted. “Those were a few of the things we tried to incorporate into the character.”
Greta Lee Says ‘Past Lives’ Still Touches Audiences
While it remains to be seen how “Late Fame” will be received when it arrives in theaters, Lee is still enjoying the enduring impact of her acclaimed 2023 film, “Past Lives,” which earned multiple award nominations, including a Golden Globe nomination.
Earlier this year, she revealed that people still approach her wherever she goes to share how deeply they connected with Nora Moon, the character she portrayed in the film.
Speaking about those encounters, Lee said she feels “really lucky” to have formed such a genuine connection with strangers through her work. She also recalled one particularly memorable interaction that reinforced that feeling.
“One of the most profound encounters I had was meeting a young person who said that they’d never been in love. And seeing the movie made them excited to fall in love. I said, ‘Good luck. It gets real screwy after that,’” Lee shared.
Greta Lee Isn’t Sure ‘Past Lives’ Will Get A Sequel
Given the success of “Past Lives,” speculation about a potential sequel has persisted. However, there has been no official announcement about a follow-up, and Lee previously admitted she remains uncertain about whether it will happen.
“While we were filming, there were many jokes about the sequel and the trilogy—giving it the full Linklater treatment. We’ll see,” the “HouseBroken” star said.
Looking ahead, Lee will return to the small screen in Netflix’s “The Last House,” which debuts on the same day as “Late Fame.” She is also attached to “The Eyes Are the Best Part,” a project being produced by Searchlight Pictures.
Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark are confronting a painful disconnect in their six-year marriage. During Thursday’s premiere of the former “Vanderpump Rules” star’s new Hulu series, “House of Stassi,” Clark became emotional while admitting that he feels “angry and resentful” over the couple’s current dynamic.
The stay-at-home father revealed that Schroeder’s demanding career has left him feeling detached from his wife and that he compares their relationship to that of roommates. Despite the difficult conversation, the couple agreed to work on rebuilding their connection.
Clark initially opened up about his struggles during a conversation with Taylor Strecker, Schroeder’s podcast co-host. The 46-year-old explained that he is attempting to support Schroeder’s career while managing their home and caring for their two young children, five-year-old Hartford and two-year-old Messer.
“I’m trying to balance wanting her to have her space and to be able to not stress out when she’s working,” Clark shared. “But then also I’m sitting here, and I’m angry and resentful.”
Clark admitted that he had been “shoving it down” rather than discussing the issue directly with his wife. The approach only increased the emotional distance he felt developing between them. “I just got so detached from her that it’s like we’re roommates. I don’t feel worthy,” he confessed.
Clark became overwhelmed and cried as he discussed how deeply the change in their relationship had affected him.
Stay-At-Home Dad Struggles To Express His Feelings
During a confessional, Clark explained that his reluctance to speak up stemmed partly from his desire to avoid adding more pressure to Schroeder’s life. “I’m trying not to stress out Stassi. She’s got the show going on and her podcast. She’s got brand deals,” he told the camera.
Between her new reality series, podcast, and promotional commitments, Schroeder has become the primary breadwinner in the household while Clark focuses on raising their children. Although he had delayed addressing his feelings, Clark recognized that the couple could not continue ignoring the growing resentment.
“But Clark hoped that ‘at some point’ he would ‘find the words to just have a chat’ with Schroeder,” he said. “With Stassi, I will let her know how I’ve been feeling.”
Clark eventually followed through and initiated an honest conversation with his wife about the toll their family arrangement had taken on his mental health and sense of identity.
Beau Clark Compares Himself To A ‘1950s Housewife’
When Clark finally spoke to Schroeder, he explained how leaving the workforce to become a stay-at-home parent had changed the way he viewed himself. He told the reality star that he sometimes feels like “a 1950s housewife where I have my apron on and I’m cleaning everything while feeding the kids [and] sometimes that’s how I feel because we don’t have that connection all the time.”
His admission that they had begun to function like roommates visibly affected Schroeder, who became emotional as he listened. Schroeder reassured her husband that she wants him to “say things” rather than allow his frustrations to “build up” over time. She acknowledged that she needed to “make more of an effort” within their marriage and promised that they would “work through” the difficulties they were facing.
The conversation marked an important first step for the couple after Clark spent months silently attempting to balance his responsibilities with his desire to protect Schroeder from additional stress.
Stassi Schroeder Praises Her ‘Supportive’ Husband
Although the conversation exposed serious issues in their marriage, Schroeder emphasized that Clark has consistently supported her through major changes in her life. During her own confessional, the 38-year-old reflected on the role he played as she became a mother and rebuilt her career.
“All I know is him being with me in the thick of it every day for the last five years. I became a mom, and he was with me the whole entire time,” she said.
Schroeder also described Clark as “supportive,” recognizing how much he had taken on while she pursued professional opportunities. However, she made it clear that his emotional struggles did not cause her to regret returning to reality television. “I’ve already been working for years to get here. I can’t just stop now because all of a sudden, Beau waited until this very moment to tell me that,” she told producers.
Rather than abandon her career, Schroeder appeared determined to find a better balance between her work and her marriage.
Stassi Schroeder And Beau Clark’s Relationship History
Schroeder began dating Clark in 2017 while she was still appearing on “Vanderpump Rules.” Their romance followed her on-and-off relationship with Patrick Meagher, which ended that same year. Schroeder also famously dated her former co-star Jax Taylor during the first season of the Bravo series.
Schroeder and Clark legally married in California in 2020, months after she was fired from “Vanderpump Rules” amid a racism scandal. The couple later celebrated with a larger destination wedding in Rome, Italy, in 2022.
They began building their family before their legal ceremony. Schroeder became pregnant with Hartford in April 2020 and welcomed her on January 7, 2021.
The couple announced Schroeder’s second pregnancy in March 2023 before welcoming Messer on September 7 of that year.

Street Fighter’s First Official Clip Pits Jason Momoa’s Blanka Against Andrew Koji’s Ryu : Coastal House Media
Marvel fans have spent the last 48 hours dissecting every frame from the Avengers: Doomsday Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, and one of the biggest mysteries wasn’t in the trailer at all. It was stitched directly into Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom-inspired jacket.
Now, the hidden Latverian runes embroidered across the costume have been translated, revealing several ominous messages that appear to hint at Victor Von Doom’s mindset heading into Avengers: Doomsday.
A Secret Language Hidden in Plain Sight
The mysterious symbols first caught fans’ attention during Marvel Studios’ Hall H panel. At first glance, they appeared to be decorative runes inspired by Doctor Doom’s homeland of Latveria.
However, eagle-eyed fans quickly realized they matched the same fictional alphabet previously used on the “Dom Latveria” coffee promotion released earlier this year. By comparing those symbols to English lettering, fans were able to decode nearly every phrase embroidered onto Downey’s jacket.
What the Jacket Says
The translated messages include several chilling phrases:
“THERE IS NO PROMISE OF TOMORRO”
The final “W” is intentionally absent, likely reflecting the stylized Latverian alphabet rather than a typo.
Other translated phrases include:
- JUSTICE
- REVENGE
- TO THE VICTOR
- GO THE SPOILS
The last two combine to form the classic saying:
“To the victor go the spoils.”
It’s an especially fitting reference considering Doctor Doom’s real name is Victor Von Doom, making the phrase both literal and symbolic.

What It Could Mean for Doctor Doom
Marvel hasn’t confirmed whether the embroidered messages carry story significance, but they certainly fit Doom’s comic book history.
Justice and revenge have long defined Victor Von Doom’s motivations. While Doom often sees himself as humanity’s rightful savior, he justifies nearly any action if it leads to what he believes is a better world. The phrase “There is no promise of tomorrow” also aligns with the multiversal stakes already teased in Avengers: Doomsday, where reality itself appears to be on the brink of collapse.
Marvel’s Attention to Detail
Marvel Studios has become known for hiding Easter eggs in costumes, props, and production design, but this may be one of its most elaborate yet. Rather than random decorative symbols, the runes form complete messages that reinforce Doctor Doom’s philosophy before audiences have even seen the film.
It’s another example of the studio rewarding fans willing to examine every detail frame by frame.
With Avengers: Doomsday releasing later this year, don’t be surprised if this isn’t the last hidden message Marvel has tucked away for fans to discover.
Since popping out with Papoose, Claressa Shields has never played about him! Recently, she kept the same energy after an interviewer asked her about dating a “married man.” It’s a question that’s been swirling online since Remy Ma exposed her estranged husband’s relationship with the champ boxer.

Claressa Shields Reacts To Question About Dating Papoose
Shields appears to be on a press tour for an upcoming boxing match against Kaye Scott on August 15. The fight is set to take place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. She stopped by the city’s radio station, Streetz 94.5 FM, and chatted about the event, her career and overall personal life. At one point, the interviewer asked, “How much longer are you willing to be in a relationship with somebody’s husband?” Before the interviewer wrapped up the question, Shields had already started jumping in to respond. Still, the interviewer continued, saying, “Because at the end of the day, that’s what people are looking at.” Shields immediately responded, clocking the interviewer’s description of Papoose.
“Well, pause. ‘Cause that’s not somebody’s husband. Papoose filed for divorce. Y’all hate to say that word, but it’s the word that’s out there. He filed for divorce because he’s serious about me. So, I’m not with somebody’s husband and if you’re going to call him her husband, make sure you call her his wife and also hold her accountable for what she’s doing in her life.”
Claressa added that Remy Ma, who she didn’t explicitly name, is also living her life with someone else. “So don’t make it seem like it’s just one-sided. I’m not with somebody’s husband. I’m with the man who filed for divorce, who’s serious about me, who’s done things for me that I’ve done for him. So that’s not what it is,” Shields clarified.
What’s Going On With Remy Ma & Papoose?
In this new interview, Claressa Shields said that Papoose is going through the courts. However, she didn’t clarify whether their divorce has been finalized. “It takes time,” she said. This is nearly the same statement Claressa made last December, when ‘The Breakfast Club’ hosts invited her to join an interview they were holding with Papoose. She spoke out after DJ Envy spoke of wanting Remy Ma and Papoose to mend their friendship and lock in on co-parenting.
“That takes time. It’s a divorce. It’s not something that just happens overnight, but people life don’t stop because of that. It’s papers, it’s time, it’s stuff that gotta happen, but at the end of the day, we move forward with our lives,” Claressa said. Pap jumped in at that point saying, “Like I said, I wish her the best..” and Claressa added, “Yeah, for sure.”

Claressa Gives Chrisean Rock Advice
Claressa Shields recently linked up with Chrisean Rock for boxing training and filmed their session. But the sport isn’t the only topic that women discussed. Claressa also gave Chrisean a bit of love life advice. Shields didn’t name names, but fans put two and two together. She advised Rock to duck, hide and dip anytime the ‘Thotiana’ rapper is on the scene in order to maintain control over her narrative. The boxer’s advice came after Rock went viral for a livestream interaction with Blueface on a yacht. During their encounter, Rock confronted Blue about denying he’s her son’s father, while he called her out for alleging he’s gay.

Usher Returns With Another Spicy Performance Following Fan Drama
‘The R&B Tour’ had a show in Birmingham, Alabama, on Tuesday, and Usher brought things back to normal following some drama with a fan in Nashville over the weekend.
Usher is notorious for getting veeeeery close with his fans onstage, and most are enthusiastic after being chosen for the special moment. However, a fan named Gabrielle Cheyenne was booted off the stage in Nashville after she failed to go along, but things are back to normal as Usher heated up the Birmingham stage.
The singer brought a fan onstage while performing ‘Can U Handle It?’ However, this time he had a fan who was very enthusiastic, and she went IN, okay?! Not only that, Usher seemed to co-sign her performance when he looked at the audience in shock after she got on top of him.
Things got even more spicy after a bowl of cherries got involved. As the fan straddled Usher, a bowl of cherries was brought to the stage. The fan was supposed to feed the cherry to Usher, but she sucked on it for a moment beforehand.
As she attempted to feed him, the ‘Good Good’ artist opened his mouth wide. Just as he was about to eat the cherry, he turned his head and sent the audience into hysterics.
Fans Are Howling Over The Performance
Live Bitez shared footage of the moment on Instagram, and users reacted to the video.
User @bruushay wrote, “Baby she ate. If u gon go on stage it should go something like this!! 😂👏.”
@sam.thealchemist replied, “Oh he the one being modest tn 😂.”
@edeng.official joked, “Who tf she thought she was 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.”
User @lee_me_loner added, “they needed security on that one. He got a dose of his own medicine from the last one 🤭. It’s now balanced ⚖️.”
@mikeycoleone added, “At this point it’s jus soft P*rn 😂.”
@therealmistermorris noted, “This time he got smart and went with a girl from his generation of music!”
Before Usher kicked Cheyenne off the stage in Nashville, he said, “I don’t think she wants to be on stage.”
Instagram user @layylowkee joked, “I DONT THINK HE WANNA BE ON STAGE!!🗣️😭.”
Usher Warned Fan Before Bringing Her Onstage
Usher warned the fan before bringing her onstage following the drama in Nashville. Cheyenne clapped back on social media after fans dragged her for getting kicked off the stage.
“First off NOBODY is declining to go on stage. I looked good… you thought I wasn’t gonna let THOUSANDS of people see me?? On the big screen, where you Will never be???? My mom and I had FLOOR SEATS. Their team approached us and moved us to VIP before the show even started !! PRETTY PRIVILEGES something you will never know about!! They don’t say what you’re going up there for!! Y’all wanted me to get up there and f**k him atp ?? CHATT FOLKS AREN’T USED TO ANYTHING. That’s the most exciting thing that would’ve happened in y’all little a** lives !! F**k yall, DISRESPECTFULLY
Usher noted the fan’s comments during the Birmingham show and seemed to throw some shade in the process.
“Before we get started, don’t bring your a*s up here if you don’t wanna be here,” he said. “God, don’t like ugly, but he most certainly don’t feel too good about pretty privilege, either.”
It would appear that the Birmingham fan understood the assignment. That is, until she tried to feed Usher that cherry.

Why Don Knotts decided to leave “The Andy Griffith Show ”after 5 seasons: ‘Put yourself in his place’
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/Don-Knotts-The-Andy-Griffith-Show-072926-044d8e58e59c4b31bda5e11097806415.jpg)
“That show was hard, hard work,” the actor’s daughter, Karen Knotts, reflected.
UPDATE 7/30/26, 4 a.m. ET: Folk singer Linda Perhacs has been “found safely” after concerned friends reported her missing earlier this week.
“We are grateful to share that singer-songwriter Linda Perhacs has been located and is safe,” Perhacs’ former manager Laurel Stearns said in a statement to Rolling Stone on Thursday, July 30. “After a period of concern during which friends, collaborators, and members of the music community were unable to establish contact with Linda and had filed police reports accordingly. Law enforcement has just confirmed that she has been found and is safe.”
The statement continued, “We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who helped amplify this effort by sharing information, reaching out with support, and expressing genuine care for Linda’s well-being. The overwhelming response from fans, fellow musicians, journalists, and the broader creative community has been a powerful reminder of the profound impact Linda’s music. We are especially grateful to the authorities for their assistance and to all those who worked behind the scenes to help bring clarity to this situation.”
“At this time, we ask that Linda’s privacy be respected as those close to her determine the best path forward,” Stearns added. “We hope this moment allows for compassion, healing, and continued support for an artist whose work has touched so many lives. Thank you again to everyone who stood with Linda and helped ensure that she was found safely.”
Original story below:
Folk singer Linda Perhacs has been reported missing months after being released from a residential care facility.
Perhacs’ friend Mark McNeill shared a plea for help via Instagram on Monday, July 27, writing, “Linda Perhacs our dear friend and legendary singer-songwriter was discharged from a residential care facility approximately eight months ago under the supervision of her legal guardian.”
McNeill claimed that Perhacs’ loved ones have been unable to get in touch with her.
“Since then, friends and longtime collaborators have been unable to reach her and repeated attempts to contact her guardian have reportedly gone unanswered,” he continued.
Celebrities such as Michael Douglas and Debbie Turner rose to stardom in Hollywood — only to leave their acting careers in the past. Thank You! You have successfully subscribed.

In the social media post, McNeill urged his followers to reach out to Perhacs’ former manager Laurel Stearns via email with any “verified information regarding Linda’s whereabouts or current means of contact.”
McNeill’s post was jointly shared by Stearns, Jessica Hundley, who directed the music video for Perhacs’ song “Prisms of Glass,” and musician Julia Holter.
Stearns broke her silence about her former client’s disappearance in a statement to Entertainment Weekly, claiming “concern is growing” among Perhacs’ close friends, collaborators and the music community.
According to Stearns, “numerous friends and longtime collaborators report they have been unable to establish direct contact” with Perhacs since she was discharged.
“Repeated attempts to communicate with her guardian have also, they say, gone unanswered,” she added.
Perhacs, 83, is best known for her debut album, Parallelograms, which was released in 1970.
Despite its low sales, the album was rediscovered three decades later and was reissued numerous times due to growing demand during the New Weird America movement.
Perhacs went on to release The Soul of All Natural Things in 2014, followed by her third studio album, I’m a Harmony, three years later.
Cardi B is setting the record straight about her appearance following renewed speculation over whether she altered her famous curves. During a recent Instagram Live, the rapper confirmed that she previously had her butt injections reduced. However, she denied recently undergoing surgery to achieve her current figure and said she has not had another procedure since January 2024. Her candid admission came days after her appearance at Pacha NYC sparked widespread discussion about her noticeably plump posterior.
Cardi addressed the rumors after fans repeatedly encouraged her to undergo a reduction. “A lot of y’all keep telling me to go get my a-s reduced,” the “WAP” rapper said, per Daily Mail. “I don’t need to go get my *ss reduced. News flash: I did get my a-s reduced.”
The 33-year-old explained that reversing the cosmetic work entirely would not be as simple as some fans seem to believe. Cardi said she “can’t just go and lipo[suction] my butt, because my skin is, like, kinda loose,” which she explained was “why my *ss shakes so much.”
Although liposuction could remove additional volume, the rapper claimed that taking that approach could cause her backside to droop due to loose skin. Correcting that result would require a more invasive operation and a lengthy recovery period, neither of which currently appeals to her. “So I would have to cut myself. And I’m not cutting myself,” Cardi continued. “I’m not sitting down for four months. I’m outside, like I said.”
Rapper Says She Is ‘Comfortable’ With Her Current Body
Despite the constant commentary surrounding her curves, Cardi insisted she is happy with her appearance. “I like my body how it looks right now. I’m comfortable in my skin,” she said.
The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker also emphasized that she has never attempted to hide her cosmetic procedures from the public. “I’m very, very honest,” she said. “First of all, I got two lipos and one a-s reduction.”
Cardi explained that she originally decided to reduce the injections because she felt the exaggerated shape did not properly suit her naturally small frame. “First thing first, I am a small girl,” she said. “I’m a very small, petite girl. My mom is petite. My sister’s petite. My aunts are small.”
While Cardi was willing to explain her decisions, she also made it clear that she does not believe fans are entitled to continually scrutinize her body. “Y’all acting like y’all new to this,” she said. “Y’all been seeing my body for how many years now? Too many.”
Cardi B Pushes Back Against New Surgery Speculation
Cardi also addressed claims that her increasingly defined waist and svelte figure must be the result of additional cosmetic procedures. “Oh, ‘You look super super snatched,’” she said mockingly. “Yes, b-tch, just stop hating. I’ll tell you what I do so I could look snatched.”
The Grammy winner claimed that her current approach includes consuming lean proteins such as grilled chicken and salmon. She also prioritizes fiber, including through healthy beverages.
Cardi cautioned her followers against attempting to “starve” themselves to lose weight, as extreme restriction can be dangerous and counterproductive. “That’s what I do. I’m being as honest as possible,” she continued, according to PEOPLE. “[Anytime] someone’s talking about, oh, I look good, y’all say I’m doing surgery.”
The rapper then offered a blunt response to those continuing to question her figure. “So shut the f-ck up,” she said, urging viewers not to behave like “hating a-s b-tches.”
“Enjoy your life. Enjoy yourself, enjoy your everything,” Cardi advised.
Kehlani Was Shocked By Cardi B’s Curves
The latest discussion follows a viral backstage encounter between Cardi and Kehlani in February. During the exchange, which was captured in an Instagram video posted by radio personality Big Boy, Kehlani appeared stunned after touching the rapper’s backside. “You have so much a-s!” Kehlani exclaimed in the crowded hallway.
Cardi then announced that she was considering having more of her injections removed once she completed her tour. “After this tour, I’m taking some out,” she said. “After this tour, I don’t wanna hear nobody for three months. I’m going to Colombia; nobody hit me up, nothing. I’m taking this a-s out!”
The declaration suggested Cardi was prepared to disappear from the public eye for several months while recovering from another procedure. Those plans did not last long.
Cardi B Previously Abandoned Her Colombia Plans
Approximately one month later, Cardi revealed during an appearance on the “Today” show that she no longer intended to travel to Colombia for the reduction. “I was saying that, but I’m not gonna do it,” she said. “I was just gonna take a little bit of butt out, but I don’t have time for that.”
The performer also explained that she was feeling “really comfortable” with her body, making another procedure seem less necessary.
