Fans Wish Cardi B a Speedy Recovery as She Cancels ONE MusicFest Appearance Due to Hospitalization.
Cardi B has announced that she will no longer be performing at this year’s ONE MusicFest, citing a recent hospitalization due to a medical emergency. The news, shared via her social media accounts on Wednesday, October 23, has left fans concerned about her health, though many have expressed their support and sent heartfelt wishes for her recovery.
The 32-year-old rapper was originally slated to perform as a headliner at the festival’s opening night on Saturday, October 26, in Atlanta’s Central Park. However, her recent health scare forced her to withdraw from the lineup. Cardi took to Instagram to explain the situation, sharing, “I am so sad to share this news, but I’ve been in the hospital recovering from a medical emergency the last couple of days and I won’t be able to perform at ONE MusicFest. It breaks my heart that I won’t get to see my fans this weekend, and I really wish I could be there.”

In an official statement, festival organizers said, “Hey #OMFFam! 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!”
Cardi B’s cancellation comes just days after she had been actively engaging with fans on social media, even hosting an X Spaces session where she discussed her upcoming sophomore album. During the nine-day trip to Los Angeles, Cardi expressed her excitement about her new music, telling fans, “It’s gonna be amazing and unique because everything I do has to be amazing and unique.”

Ongoing Drama with Offset
This latest health update comes amid personal drama between Cardi B and her estranged husband, Offset. Hours before she announced her hospitalization, Cardi had been involved in a heated rant on X, where she expressed her frustrations toward Offset. The two have been going through a public divorce, with Cardi filing for divorce earlier this year. In her social media posts, which have since been deleted, Cardi expressed her anger, calling Offset a “narcissistic piece of sh*t.”
Despite the drama, Cardi and Offset recently welcomed their third child together, with Cardi confirming the birth on September 12. Offset was reportedly present during the birth, adding another layer of complexity to their turbulent relationship.
While Cardi B’s absence will certainly be felt, ONE MusicFest is still set to offer a star-studded lineup for its 15th anniversary. Earth, Wind & Fire and Nelly are among the headliners set to take the stage on Saturday, while Jill Scott, Gunna, and Victoria Monét will headline on Sunday. Additional performers include Fantasia, Redman, and Ari Lennox.
As fans await news of Cardi’s recovery, they continue to send their best wishes, hoping she returns to full health soon. Although she won’t be able to perform this weekend, her fanbase remains loyal and understanding, eagerly awaiting her next big appearance.
