At just 22 years old, Bhad Bhabie says she is still dealing with major health issues.

The rebellious teen turned rapper (real name Danielle Bregoli) wrote over the weekend on X that she had just received “bad news” from her doctor in her blood-cancer battle.

“God has the last say,” the post says.

Bregoli, also known as the “Cash Me Outside” girl from an infamous 2016 appearance on “The Dr. Phil Show,” first informed followers something was wrong in late 2024 with her after a troll commented on her thin frame.

“I’m sorry my cancer medication made me lose weight,” wrote the Boynton Beach native on Instagram stories. “I’m slowly gaining it back. So stop running with the worst narratives.”

On Instagram right before the holidays, Bregoli did indeed look healthy and hale, sharing a picture in a bikini.

Many commenters agreed, with some assuming she had a BBL or breast implants.

“She honestly just might be cancer free and finally just now gaining weight,” opined one fan. “This definitely isn’t a surgery because the ankles, feet, legs, arms, face and neck even has weight gain and I highly doubt it was by surgery. She looks fabulous!”

Another person fiercely in Bhabie’s corner? The “Gucci Flip Flops” singer’s mother, Barbara Ann Bregoli, a two-time breast cancer survivor. The 57-year-old South Floridian took to Instagram on Sunday to address critics who claim her daughter’s illness is due to her notoriously fierce attitude.

“Social media has become an app where people think they can come on here and say the most vilest things and think it’s funny because they’re hiding behind a screen,” ranted the native New Yorker. “But to turn around and say someone who has cancer, that’s their karma? That’s a low form. That’s the lowest form of anything .... Watch your words.”

It’s still unclear what specific type of blood cancer — a disease of the bone marrow and lymphatic system — Bregoli has. There are three types: Leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma.

“Blood cancer endangers an essential life force: your blood cells. These cells give you energy, help you fight infection and keep you from bleeding too much,” according to the Cleveland Clinic. “When faulty DNA causes your blood cells to become cancerous, the cancer puts all these important functions at risk.”
