Cardi B Says She's "Skinny" in New Ab-Bearing Photo

The "WAP" singer has admitted in the past that losing weight hasn't always been a happy thing for her.

Cardi B has never been shy about showing off her curves, whether she's walking the red carpet at an awards show or on set for a music video. However, in a new Instagram photo, the "WAP" singer reveals that she's gotten "skinny"—and that's not necessarily a good thing.

On March 17, Cardi posted a photo of herself wearing a midriff-bearing white Chanel sweater, striped miniskirt, white heels, and a blue Chanel bag to Instagram, captioning the photo, "I'm skinny today." Cardi's celebrity friends were quick to praise Cardi's glamorous look, with actor Chloe Bailey calling the photo, "Gorgeous" and celebrity stylist Mikiel Benyamin commenting, "Skinny legendddd."
