Cardi B's Sparkling Revelation

The ever-entertaining Cardi B has once again provided fans with an unforgettable update about her daring body art. Earlier this year, the "Bodak Yellow" sensation casually shared that she'd taken the plunge with a 'butt crack piercing' – an announcement that left her followers buzzing.

The 32-year-old rapper, known off-stage as Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, wasn't shy about unveiling this intimate bling on social media back in January. Fans were left reeling with comments like "I feel like I know you very personally now" and "There is NO WAY omg."

Podcast Confessions

During a candid chat on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast with Alex Cooper, Cardi dropped the bombshell about what happened to her $13,000 diamond-encrusted adornment. "It went down the toilet!" she revealed, much to the amusement of listeners.

“Hold on... Ohhhhh!" Cardi recalled her reaction upon realizing it was missing. "I was looking at my pants and my panties and stuff and I'm like, 'Yep, went down the toilet.'”

"13 f***ing k on your a**hole!" exclaimed Cooper, to which Cardi playfully corrected, "Mmm-hhhh. A** crack!" Thankfully, the extravagant piece came with a refund policy, providing some consolation for the loss.

Piercing Perils and Personal Details

Not everyone is on board with the piercing trend, however. Celebrity piercer Brian Keith Thompson, who has worked with Cardi, shared some words of caution. He noted that microdermals can take a while to heal and pose a significant risk of infection, especially in such a location.

Thompson advised, "Once you do something like that, you own it. So, all the problems that come in, you've got to own those too."

Beyond her piercing adventures, Cardi divulged more about her body modifications. She mentioned a previous procedure left her backside 'numb,' explaining, "Sometimes people say that my butt is too big, but they don't understand they already did a butt surgery to reduce my a**."

The rapper revealed that this numbness made the piercing process completely painless. "So when I pierce my a**, I ain't feel s**t. It was, it was the easiest piercing ever," she remarked with her trademark candor.
