Bhad Bhabie, 21, Suggests Cancer Battle Amid Weight-Loss Rumors
Bhad Bhabie, the 21-year-old rapper behind "Gucci Flip Flops," recently sparked a wave of concerns among fans and followers due to her noticeable weight loss, Page Six reported. On Thursday, she addressed body-shaming comments by clarifying that her slimming down was a result of medication taken for cancer, as mentioned in her Instagram Story. "I'm sorry my cancer medicine made me lose weight," she explained, urging followers to stop speculating and spreading negative assumptions, while noting, "I'm slowly gaining it back."
Known by her real name Danielle Bregoli, Bhad Bhabie's revelation left her fans puzzled, with many wondering about the details behind her claims of battling cancer. Speculation arose last month concerning her slender appearance which some attributed to stress from her tumultuous relationship with Le Vaughn, her on-again, off-again boyfriend. Posts by maligning online commenters compared her transformation to the effects of medications other celebrities had experienced or hinted it was due to relational strife.
Amid critiques, Bhabie also faced a tide of support upon revealing the cause to be cancer-related medication. She received sympathetic comments encouraging empathy and urging others to resist jumping to rash judgments. It wasn't only her health in question; Bhad Bhabie's personal life also came under scrutiny following allegations of physical abuse by Le Vaughn — an accusation she made public in a now-deleted video exposing her injuries.
Bhabie, who announced her pregnancy in December shortly after dating Vaughn, conveyed her continuing commitment to her young daughter, Kali, born in March. Despite challenges in the relationship, she stated affirmatively that any recent post showing her with Le Vaughn should not be misinterpreted — categorically denying rumors of rekindled intimacy with Vaughn: "I wasn’t gonna speak on this but who said I was staying?... I’m so confused. And apparently so are y’all."
Introduced to fame through a viral episode of "Dr. Phil," Bhad Bhabie continues navigating the complexities of personal trials under public scrutiny. While enduring body-shaming and personal attacks, particularly during delicate times of health struggles, her fans hope she remains resilient, emphasizing compassion over conjecture.
