Bhad Bhabie has responded to speculation that she lied about being diagnosed with cancer in 2024.
In a series of posts shared on her Instagram Stories, the rapper and content creator hit back against accusations that she’s not actually battling cancer. “If I’m lying about having cancer for money explain to me why I’m being prescribed this medication and paying 5K a month for it?” she wrote alongside a picture showing a $5,203.91 monthly prescription for Scemblix (asciminib), a medication given to patients with chronic myeloid leukemia-CML.
In a follow-up post, she shared a picture showing the documentation that comes with her prescription, which notes that the medication is used to slow the growth of cancer cells.
“Oh wow it’s used for cancer I been saying I had yall said I was lying about,” she wrote. “And please believe no dr is prescribing this medication to someone for no reason. It literally gets delivered in a biohazard bag. Do u know what this medication would do to someone that doesn’t actually have cancer??”
In her third and final post on her Instagram Stories, she laughed off the suggestion that she could monetize her cancer battle. “How exactly do u monetize off having too many white blood cells?” she wrote. “Asking for a friend.”
Earlier this year, she said that she had been given some “bad news” about her blood cancer diagnosis. “God has the last say so not my cancer,” she wrote in a post shared on X, formerly Twitter. She also revealed that she gained weight because of the medication she had been prescribed and offered to help any of her fans going through the same thing as her.
