Cardi B dishes on huge weight loss after stomach illness saw her hospitalised

Hip-hop star Cardi B has opened up about the stomach illness that put her in hospital.

The Bodak Yellow artist, 27, had been forced into hospital after the mysterious illness left her throwing up everything she ate.

Due to her occupying a hospital bed during the coronavirus pandemic, Cardi came in for some criticism on social media for her treatment there.

One critic on Twitter commented: “One thing that has been ticking me is that there’s a close friend of my aunt’s that has the coronavirus and she went to the hospital but they told her, to go home they can’t serve her.

“So she’s been stuck at home with the rest of her family without getting help.”

They accused Cardi of using her celebrity status to get fast hospital treatment, despite the star losing 5lbs in four days due to her illness.

The user then tweeted: “But then I go on social media and see Cardi B at the hospital because she ‘thinks’ she has the virus and getting the help she needs. I know celebs have advantages, but this is someone’s life.

“You can allow a celeb (who, by the way can help with a few donations and help the hospital) who thinks they have the virus to enter the hospital, (She ended up not having it) than an individual who does have it.

“Okay. The world is a mess.”
