Bhad Bhabie has recently shared what appears to be a cancer diagnosis, sparking support and concern among fans. The 21-year-old rapper, known offstage as Danielle Bregoli, took to Instagram last Thursday to address rumors and criticism about her appearance, particularly concerning weight loss. The speculation began after fans commented on a recent photo of hers, questioning her changing appearance and making negative remarks.
Responding directly, Bhad Bhabie posted an Instagram Story with a brief but revealing message: “I’m sorry my cancer medicine made me loose [sic] weight,” she wrote. “I’m slowly gaining it back. So stop running [with] the worst narratives.” Following her post, TMZ reported that a source close to the rapper confirmed she is under a doctor’s care and has begun treatment for the illness. However, neither Bhad Bhabie nor her team has specified the type of cancer she is facing.
Her mother, Barbara Bregoli, also appeared to confirm the diagnosis while responding to gossip journalist Perez Hilton, who had insinuated that Bhad Bhabie may have fabricated the illness for publicity. Barbara responded to Hilton with a fiery video, defending her daughter. “How dare you, you vile little piece of s—, say that my daughter would lie about something so serious,” she said, mentioning that she herself has twice battled cancer. This support from her mother adds credibility to Bhad Bhabie’s announcement and reveals just how seriously the family is taking her diagnosis.
Bhad Bhabie’s journey in the spotlight has been full of ups and downs, but she has often been candid about her struggles. In addition to her music career, she’s built a sizable following as an OnlyFans creator. She made headlines in 2021 after earning over $1 million within six hours of joining the platform, showcasing her ability to connect with fans and leverage her fame in unconventional ways.
Earlier this year, Bhad Bhabie welcomed her first child, a daughter named Kali Love. The rapper’s shift into motherhood came not long after she had taken steps to address her mental health. Back in 2020, she entered rehab to work on mental health and substance abuse challenges. At the time, her management team voiced their support, saying, “We are very proud of Danielle for recognizing that she needed help and seeking it out.”
As Bhad Bhabie moves forward with treatment, fans are rallying around her, hoping for her recovery and respecting her privacy. Her story has prompted discussions about body shaming, health challenges, and the pressure of public life. At a time when so many judgments are made based on appearance, Bhad Bhabie’s response serves as a reminder of the unseen battles people may be facing behind the scenes.
