Cardi B opens up about battling postpartum depression

For the first time, Cardi B has opened up about her battle with postpartum depression. This is following the birth of her daughter, Kulture.

She is on the cover of the latest edition of Harper’s Bazaar where she bears it all following her daughter’s birth in July 2018.

“I thought I was going to avoid it,” she admits to the magazine. “When I gave birth, the doctor told me about postpartum and I was like, ‘Well, I’m doing good right now, I don’t think that’s going to happen,’ But out of nowhere, the world was heavy on my shoulders.”

Cardi admitted that she has been struggling with her body image following Kulture’s birth.

“For some reason, I still don’t feel like my body’s the same,” she said. “I feel like I don’t have my balance right yet. When it comes to heels, I’m not as good at walking anymore. I feel like I’m holding a weight on me.

“I don’t know why because I’m skinnier than I’ve ever been. But there’s an energy I haven’t gotten back yet that I had before I was pregnant. It’s just the weirdest thing.”

Since becoming a mother, her outlook on her priorities has changed.

“Before, I cared about everything — relationship, gossip. Now I don’t feel like I have the time to please people,” she said. “I don’t care about anything anymore — just my career and my kid…well, I care about my career because of my money.”
