Rapper and social media star Bhad Bhabie, whose real name is Danielle Bregoli, recently revealed on Instagram that she has been diagnosed with cancer. The 21-year-old shared this news to stop “the worst narratives” after fans commented on her recent weight loss. She clarified, “I’m sorry my cancer medicine made me lose weight,” assuring her followers that she’s “slowly gaining it back.” Her family confirmed the diagnosis to TMZ, indicating that she is receiving professional medical treatment.
Following her announcement, Bregoli’s mother, Barbara, addressed trolls and bloggers who doubted her daughter’s diagnosis, with some even comparing the situation to the fake death rumor involving internet personality Lil Tay. Barbara, herself a two-time cancer survivor, fired back at one blogger, saying, “I pray to God one of your children never get cancer.” She shared her own struggles, explaining that her medication once led to similar physical changes, urging people to “stop with your assumptions.”
Bhad Bhabie’s health update comes amid a thriving online career, where she gained fame initially as the “cash me outside” girl on Dr. Phil and later found success on OnlyFans and in the music industry. Despite the challenges of her diagnosis, she remains active, with over 15.8 million Instagram followers and numerous business ventures.
Fans have rallied around her since the announcement, offering messages of support as Bregoli navigates her health journey. Her openness about her experience has sparked conversations about cancer, online assumptions, and the challenges of living under public scrutiny.
