Cardi B recently announced that she will not be performing at One MusicFest, just days before the event, due to health issues. The rapper shared on Instagram that she had been hospitalized following a medical emergency, saying, “I am so sad to share the news, but I have been hospitalized recovering… I won’t be able to perform at One MusicFest… It really breaks my heart that I won’t get to see my fans this weekend.”

This isn’t the first time Cardi B has canceled a performance at the last minute. In 2022, she withdrew from the Parklife Festival in Manchester, citing recovery from cosmetic surgery. Her repeated cancellations have left fans disappointed, but the star remains focused on her health.

One MusicFest also posted Cardi’s statement on their social media, adding, “Unfortunately, @iamcardib announced that she is no longer available to join us this year due to ongoing health issues. Let’s all keep her in our prayers for a full recovery!” The festival is scheduled for October 26-27 in Central Park, Atlanta, with headliners including Earth, Wind & Fire, Nelly, Fantasia, Ari Lennox, and others.

If Cardi had been able to perform, fans might have heard some of her top hits from the past five years, such as “WAP,” “Up,” “Money,” “I Like It,” and “Press.”

Despite her absence, One MusicFest organizers are working to find a replacement at the last minute. Fans are still eager for the event but are hoping for Cardi B’s swift recovery.
