The rapper, 26, said she’s feeling “depressed” because she’s become skinnier than she wants to be since welcoming her first child,daughter Kulture, in July.
TheBodak Yellowsinger added that she’s never liked looking thin.
“I used to look too skinny as a teenager and I used to hate it and I hate it now,” she said. “It’s been really depressing me, making me sad. My weight. You know what I’m saying.”

It’s a change from how she was feeling in August, one month after giving birth, whenshe wanted to get liposuction to remove the extra weightand the loose skin around her stomach.
“I still feel like I got a lot of love handles right here,” she said in another Instagram Live video, as she pulled on her tummy. “It’s not much but it’s like — I’m used to having, like, a real tight stomach.”

Adding that she doesn’t have time to workout,Cardi Bbrought upplastic surgery as an option.
But Dr. Mary Jane Minkin, gynecologist and professor atYale School of Medicineandmember of PEOPLE’s Health Squad, said that she would “never” encourage a new mom to get liposuction for many reasons, including that they can lose the weight over time, much likeCardi Bdid.
Plus, she said, liposuction won’t help with the loose skin.
“You can suck out some fat cells, but the skin will still be looser,” she explains. “And liposuction won’t tighten your muscles. Exercise will.”
