Bhad Bhabie given 'bad news' from doctor as she gives health update on cancer battle
Warning: This article contains discussion of cancer which some readers may find distressing.
Bhad Bhabie, real name Danielle Bregoli, has given a concerning update on her cancer as she told fans her doctor hadn't given her good news.
The rapper, 22, announced in 2024 she'd been diagnosed with cancer after people started speculating about her weight loss and she wanted to head off the 'worst narratives' that were being whipped up around her.
Now she's posted an update on social media saying: "Bad news from my doctor yesterday, god has the last say so not my cancer."

She didn't provide any further details on her condition.
Back in November 2024, when she confirmed she had been diagnosed with cancer, she had faced speculation over whether she had changed her eating habits or started taking weight loss drugs.
However, Bregoli instead explained that her weight loss was a result of treatment for cancer, though she didn't go into specifics surrounding her treatment or what type of cancer she had.
“I’m sorry my cancer medicine made me loose (sic) weight,” she wrote on her Instagram Story, before telling her millions of followers she was 'slowly gaining it back'.
Her mum, Barbara, also took aim at trolls who had suggested Danielle had been faking cancer, going on Instagram to tell them what was what.
She wrote: “I pray to God one of your children never get cancer. I’ve had it twice. How dare you say my daughter’s faking this.”
The mum also shared images of her own experience with cancer as she told people to 'stop with your assumptions'.
“For all those individuals commenting on cancer and cancer meds just bloating you this was me one year after my 1st diagnosis," she had said as she shared a past image of herself.
In January 2025, Bregoli got a nose job amid her cancer treatment to 'remove the bump', sharing a picture of herself post-surgery with bruising around her eyes, writing: "Day 6! Nose jobs are not for the weak!"
After receiving some criticism online, the 'That's What I Said' rapper responded on her Instagram Stories, telling people to mind their business.
"I don't know who told y’all you can’t get surgery when you have cancer," she said. "I was cleared by my dr mind the business that pays you."
"Lying about plastic surgery is a problem and clearly so is telling the truth about having it. I choose to b[sic] open with y’all about what I have done and mfs [sic] still make s**t a problem. Y’all are crazy," she continued, adding: "Y’all mfs[sic] so worried about me and y'all don't even know what kind of cancer I have! It’s not breast cancer that is a rumor."
Bhad Bhabie first became famous at the age of 13 when she went on the talk show Dr Phil and became known as the girl who said 'cash me outside'.
She and her mum appeared on the episode titled 'I Want to Give Up My Car-Stealing, Knife-Wielding, Twerking 13-Year-Old Daughter Who Tried to Frame Me for a Crime'.
That's quite a mouthful.
Anyhow, Danielle said she hadn't realised she'd become a meme as she was sent to a camp for troubled teens after her appearance on Dr Phil and was not thrilled to discover she was all over the internet.
Speaking on the HighLowWithEmRata podcast, she said: “Imagine you get home from being in this f**king f**ked up place for f**king six months and then you open your phone and go on Facebook and all you see is yourself, and you’re 13.”
