Cardi B is sharing new insights about the daring butt piercing she first revealed earlier this year. On the September 24 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, the 32-year-old rapper discussed the procedure with host Alex Cooper, explaining why the experience was painless.
“It didn’t hurt,” Cardi said. When asked about the reason, she clarified that the lack of sensation is due to a prior surgery on that area.
“I’m not gonna recommend it to people because I had surgery on my butt,” she explained. “Sometimes people say that my butt is too big, but they don’t understand they already did a butt surgery to reduce my ass… I practically did a tummy tuck on my ass… So, like, the top of my ass, that skin part is numb. So when I pierce my ass, I ain’t feel s—. It was, it was the easiest piercing ever.”
$13,000 Diamond Piercing Lost Down the Toilet By Cardi B
Cardi also revealed that the piercing, which featured real diamonds, cost $13,000. However, the rapper admitted the expensive jewelry didn’t last long.
“I realized I was like, ‘Hold on.’ I was looking around. I was looking at my pants and my panties and stuff, and I’m like, ‘Yep. Went down the toilet,'” she said.
When asked if she had the piercing redone, Cardi said she hasn’t been motivated to do so yet. She added that the piercer had offered a refund for the lost piece.

She returned to the same piercer in 2024 for additional earrings, showcasing them in a TikTok video where she joked, “I came in for one thing. Look what Harrison did!”
Cardi has also been open about her tattoos. In 2023, she posted a video highlighting newly detailed tattoos, including enhancements to a colorful peacock design on her hip and leg by tattoo artist Jamie Schene.
