Bhad Bhabie reveals she has cancer after fans voiced concerns about her weight loss
Bhad Bhabie, real name Danielle Bregoli, admitted to fans this week that she has been diagnosed with cancer, following comments on her appearance.
The American rapper and former viral star made the admission to stop the 'worst narratives' surrounding her changing appearance.
Bregoli, 21, is best known as the 'cash me outside' girl after her outrageous appearance on talk show Dr. Phil, when she was just 13 years old.

Since then, she has ventured out into music, and has also proved to be very successful on OnlyFans, sharing that she made an eye-watering £800,000 on her first day on the site, shortly after her 18th birthday.
With over 15.8 million followers on Instagram, it's fair to say that the 'Gucci Flip Flops' rapper is more than a one-hit wonder in the celebrity space.
Many of her fans have voiced worry and concern over the star's change in appearance in recent weeks, joking about her eating habits or use of weight-loss drugs.
This led to the 21-year-old to posting a message explaining her health on Thursday (7 November) via social media.
“I’m sorry my cancer medicine made me loose (sic) weight,” she wrote on her Instagram story, adding that she is 'slowly gaining it back'.
One of her family members then confirmed the claims to TMZ on Friday (8 November) morning, adding that Bregoli is receiving treatment from a doctor.
Bregoli's mother, Barbara Bregoli, also called out trolls and bloggers after they commented on the musician's health update.
One gossip blogger was criticised after he suggested that she 'pulled a Lil Tay', who is a viral star once caught up in a fake death scandal.
Barbara took to Instagram to fire back at the writer, saying: “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 mother then openly shared her own past experience with cancer and the medication she had to take.
“For all those individuals commenting on cancer and cancer meds just bloating you this was me one year after my 1st diagnosis,” she wrote alongside a photo of herself, looking slender in a black top and white skirt, revealing that she too had to suffer the consequences of the deadly disease.
In a short message to trolls and people online, she also asked people to 'stop with your assumptions!!!'
