Bhad Bhabie defends herself after trolls claim she lied about cancer amid vaping and plastic surgery row
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Bhad Bhabie is hitting back at trolls who have accused her of lying about her cancer diagnosis.
The 21-year-old rapper, who has been open about battling leukemia, recently faced criticism for continuing to vape and undergoing plastic surgery.
This comes just after her public feud with former pal Alabama Barker, in which she claimed the latter was involved with Le Vaughn. Bhad Bhabie is now defending herself, denying the allegations, and making her voice heard online.
Bhad Bhabie says she never 'lied to the Internet'
In response to the backlash, Bhad Bhabie, whose real name is Danielle Bregoli, fired back, saying, “I've never lied to the internet about ANYTHING.”
She added, “I wasn't even gonna tell y'all until y'all wouldn't shut up about my weight.”
She also expressed her frustration by stating, “I've NEVER been the type of person who "lies just to lie" - y'all don't know celebrities or what we are going through just because you watch us through a screen.”
She continued, “Normalize not pretending y'all know what's really going on in celebrities' lives. Y'all don't know us, y'all just see us.”
Addressing the criticism over her vaping, the rapper defended her actions, clarifying that she’s not concerned since she doesn’t have lung cancer. “Yeah, you can have cancer and still smoke cigarettes,” she argued, as per the Daily Mail.
Bhad Bhabie says she underwent plastic surgeries after her hematologist's advice
Bhad Bhabie faced significant criticism, not only for her vaping habits but also for undergoing elective plastic surgery while battling cancer.
In response, the rapper vehemently defended her decisions, stating she received approval from her hematologist before going under the knife.
She hit back at critics, saying, “Y'all, it doesn't matter if you liked my nose before.. this is my face. I didn't like it, so I fixed it.”
She further explained, “I'm going to the top doctors. They're not going to perform plastic surgery on a cancer patient without clearance from their cancer doctor. I had to get approval both times for my surgeries.”
Bhad Bhabie clarified the timeline of her surgeries, "I just got my boobs and my, um, butt shots taken out on December 12. And I got my nose job on January 15. And both times, I had to get clearance."
The rapper also shared the emotional reasoning behind her surgeries, saying, “I'm literally 21 years old, battling cancer, who knows how long I'll be here for? You think I'm not gonna get my body and my face right and do everything I wanted to do?”
She added, “If you don't think I'm a live my life to the fullest and do everything that I wanna do without a care in the world about what you've got to say about me... I'm a do me, always!”
Bhad Bhabie has been open about past cosmetic procedures, including lip fillers, facial fillers, and buttocks injections of "Sculptra and silicone" when she was just 16.
Despite the controversy, Dr Deepak Dugar, a board-certified plastic surgeon, reported that while those actively fighting cancer should approach cosmetic surgery cautiously, the rapper followed the proper steps by consulting her doctors first.
