EBN- Ahead of the 31-year-old Grammy winner’s performance at Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve on Sunday night, Cardi B revealed on her Instagram story that was “fighting” for her life.
“I’m literally fighting for my life right now,” the star told her 169 million Instagram followers. “I am so sick. I don’t understand because when I was in New York, I was going out with sweaters, toes out, everything.”
Cardi also joked that she’s “allergic to Florida,” adding that as soon as she landed in Miami for the show she felt “a little cough.”
“My chest started getting tight,” she said in the Instagram clip. “Bro, I’ve been fighting for three days and I have a huge performance later. Huge performance. Like, alright, I get that it’s New Year’s but I have this huge performance and I’m fighting, fighting.”
