Cardi B has been very open about her nose job journey and another famous face who has helped her along the way.
Cardi has long been open about having her body worked on. Last year, she had most of her illegal buttock injections removed — and warned people not to go through with the first procedure, saying, “Bitch, don’t the fuck do it.”
On The Jason Lee Show, Cardi began, “People assume that having surgery makes you feel insecure or hate yourself — and that’s just not the truth. […] I like being perfect, I like a certain body type for me. If I want to do it, I’ll do it.”
“I always felt like I had a big nose. Even before I was famous, I was like, ‘Damn bitch, I have my father’s nose.’ But I was always scared of picking my nose.”
However, after seeing Instagram content touting non-surgical options, Cardi went ahead and got some work done. She explained, “Around 2018, 2019 everyone was like, ‘There’s a non-surgical way to make your nose smaller, and that’s filler.’ I think it’s really important for me to say that, so if anyone is involved in these kinds of things, remember, I’ll let you all know […] I stuffed my nose in 2019 — and that shit busted my nose.
“When you see things on Instagram, it makes sense. But fillers made my nose longer,” she added. “It got wider and I was like, ‘Oh my god, what the hell? I busted my nose and I am left with no choice but to actually do my nose. So I got my nose done in 2020 after ‘WAP’.”
“I’m freaking out, ‘What the hell have I done to myself? Take out those damn pens!’ No matter how hard I tried to take the fillers out, it still messed up [the tip of my nose].”
Host Jason then asked Cardi how she found someone “who has the confidence to touch your face and body,” adding, “I remember the time we were with Kris. [Jenner] house and Kim [Kardashian] has given you a list of people to call and ask for help. You didn’t call any of those people, you just did it at home?”
In fact, Cardi took up Kim’s suggestions – who claims she just had a “little botox” done on her face. “No, I called some people she gave me,” Cardi replied.
