Bhad Bhabie has seemingly revealed she’s been diagnosed with cancer after hitting back at fans for commenting on her appearance.
The 21-year-old rapper, whose real name is Danielle Bregoli, took to her Instagram Story on Thursday (November 7) in response to fans’ concerns about her health, after she appeared to lose significant weight in recent weeks.
“I’m sorry my cancer medicine made me loose weight [sic],” she wrote on her Story. “I’m slowly gaining it back. So stop running [with] the worst narratives.”
Bregoli, who rose to internet stardom for her “Cash me outside, how ‘bout that?” catchphrase during a Dr Phil appearance in 2016, didn’t disclose any further information about her cancer medicine or diagnosis.
The Independent has contacted Bregoli’s representatives for comment.
While the OnlyFans model hasn’t shared further details about her health, many fans posted their well wishes for Bregoli following her Instagram post.
“This is sad, wishing her a fast recovery,” one user wrote on X/Twitter.
“Wtffff omg doesn’t she have an infant child? Praying for Bhad Bhabie, may she fully recover,” another person said.
Meanwhile, a third user pointed out: “This is why you don’t comment on women’s bodies because you never know what they may be going through!”
Bregoli welcomed her first child, a daughter named Kali, in March 2024 with then-boyfriend Le Vaughn.
In 2022, the “Gucci Flip Flops” rapper revealed she had earned $52m on OnlyFans in an interview with TMZ. She later shared a screenshot to Instagram as proof of her OnlyFans income.
Just one year prior, Billboard reported that Bregoli had broken an OnlyFans record; she racked up $1m in just six hours after joining the subscription-based video-sharing platform.
The news of her apparent illness comes days after Dawson’s Creek alum James Van Der Beek announced he has been “privately dealing” with colorectal cancer – a type of cancer that starts in either the colon or the rectum, which are both part of the large intestine in the body’s digestive system.
“I have colorectal cancer. I’ve been privately dealing with this diagnosis and have been taking steps to resolve it, with the support of my incredible family,” said Van Der Beek, who played the lead role in Dawson’s Creek from 1998 to 2003. “There’s reason for optimism, and I’m feeling good.”
Van Der Beek shares six children with his wife Kimberly Van Der Beek: Olivia, Joshua, Annabel, Emilia, Gwendolyn, and Jeremiah.
