Cardi B, the 31-year-old rapper, battled illness before taking the stage at Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve held at the Fontainebleau hotel in Miami.
Despite her health struggles, she delivered her performance as scheduled, but not without addressing her condition with fans.
Prior to the show, Cardi B shared a video on her Instagram story, expressing her plight: "I am fighting for my life right now. I’m literally fighting for my life right now." She attributed her illness to her arrival in Miami, claiming she felt unwell shortly after landing.
Joined by fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion, the event also featured performances by Ellie Goulding, Janelle Monae, 30 Seconds To Mars, and Renee Rapp.
Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, an annual US broadcast showcasing the countdown and the iconic crystal ball drop in Times Square, holds historical significance in the UK due to its association with the popular sitcom Friends.
The show's episode featuring Monica and Ross Gellar's dance routine, portrayed by Courteney Cox and David Schwimmer, remains a memorable highlight for UK audiences.
