Cardi B has pulled out of a huge gig due to a medical emergency.
The 32-year-old rapper said she has been in hospital due to the health issue and, as a result, has had to withdraw from ONE MusicFest 2024 at Piedmont Park in Atlanta this weekend.
But, writing on X, Cardi B admitted it "breaks her heart" to make the decision days before the event. She posted: "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. Bardi Gang - thank you for understanding and I'll be back better and stronger soon. Don't worry. Love yall."

ONE MusicFest encouraged fans to uplift Cardi B in prayer and suggested they'll be scrambling for a replacement ahead of Saturday's opening performances.
The rapper's cancellation comes after she spoke about wishing "the worst" on her former husband, Offset, with whom she shares three children, in a series of since-deleted X posts.
Cardi said: "Bro I wish the worst on this man ... I never hated somebody soooo much and these bitches be so thirty [sic] to have him... Please take this man off my hands this garbage bag is too heavy!!"
The couple married in 2017 and went on to have three children together, including a daughter born only last month. However, Cardi officially filed for divorce from Offset in July during her pregnancy.
