Cardi B has never shied away from discussing her plastic surgery experiences, and now the rapper is detailing her unwanted nose job after receiving botched fillers.

The 30-year-old appeared on a new episode of REVOLT’s The Jason Lee Show where she opened up her past cosmetic procedures and how Kim Kardashian gave her surgeon recommendations for a nose job.

“I always felt like I had a big nose,” Cardi told host Jason Lee. “Even before I was famous, I was like ‘Damn, I’ve got my daddy’s nose.’ I was always afraid to do my nose but I finally took that step.”

The “WAP” rapper recalled being told by several people back in 2018 that nose fillers were a better and non-surgical way to make her nose smaller, so she went through with it.

“I did fillers on my nose in 2019. And that s— f—— my nose up,” she said before admitting that she didn’t even know how the fillers were supposed to work. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, what did I do to myself?'”

Cardi said it’s important for her to share her horror story for those who are considering similar procedures.

“When you see stuff on Instagram, it just makes sense. But fillers just made my nose longer and it got wider,” Cardi explained, adding that because of the botched procedure she had “no choice” but to get surgery on her nose.

Lee then asked the Grammy winner how she decides which doctors perform her surgeries, recalling a moment when Kardashian, 42, gave her some advice.

“I remember the time we were at Kris’ [Jenner] house and Kim gave you a list of people you could call to get help,” he said. “You didn’t call none of those people?”

“No, I called a couple of people that she gave me,” Cardi responded, noting that she ultimately went with someone else and got her rhinoplasty in 2020.

Now, Cardi said she’s done with plastic surgery, boasting, “I look great.” During the podcast, she also assured that there’s nothing wrong with her decision to get any cosmetic procedures.

“This is the tricky thing about a lot of people. People will assume when you do surgery or something, you’re insecure about yourself or you hate yourself, and that’s just not the truth,” Cardi said. “If I want to correct something, if I want to do a little something-something like … I’m gonna do it. I like being perfect. I like a certain type of body, like, for myself.”

Life in plastic, Kim’s fantastic.

Cardi B, 30, served as the inaugural guest on “The Jason Lee Podcast,” which launched Monday, and during the episode, she opened up about getting plastic surgery — and how Kim Kardashian was the one who gave her tips on the best doctors to call.

The “WAP” singer — wearing a Barbie pink dress for the occasion — told the “Hollywood Unlocked” founder, 43, about the mess she got herself into when she put fillers in her nose in an attempt to make it look “smaller.”

“Everybody kept saying like, there’s a non-surgical way to get your nose smaller and that’s doing fillers,” she shared after revealing she’d inherited her “daddy’s nose” and had “always felt” uncomfortable about her “big nose.”

“So I did fillers on my nose, right, in 2019,” she told Lee. “And that s—t f—ked my nose up.”

Saying the fillers made her nose “longer” and “wider,” the hitmaker said she had “no choice” but to get a nose job to solve the problem, sharing that she had the procedure done “in 2020, after ‘WAP’.”

After Lee asked how she chose a plastic surgeon to fix the issue, he said, “I remember the time we were at Kris’ [Jenner] house and Kim [Kardashian] gave you a list of people you could call to get help. You didn’t call none of those people, you just did it at home?”

“No, I called a couple of people that she gave me,” Cardi B said.

Although Kardashian and Cardi B haven’t been spotted together in some time, it sounds like the rapper appreciated her friend’s suggestions.

As for the reality star, she claimed she’s never made any tweaks to her appearance except lasers and “a little bit of Botox” — as revealed to Allure last summer — but she did tell the magazine that she has “notes of the best doctors, the best everything,” because she’s “a really good facial consultant.”

“I’ve never filled my cheeks. I’ve never filled my lips,” she said.

Back to Cardi B, the mom of two also touched on the work she had done following the birth of her son, Wave, during the interview.

“A lot of people thought that like, when I gave birth I automatically went to get surgery,” she shared with the entertainment personality. “No, I literally waited like, seven months to do surgery.”

The rapper, who called herself “a popular loner” in the interview with Lee, has always been frank about the different procedures she’s had over the years, including the breast augmentation and liposuction she got after the birth of her daughter, Kulture.

Cardi B defended her choices, saying, “the tricky thing about a lot of people” was that they assume “when you do surgery or something, you’re insecure about yourself or you hate yourself, and that’s just not the truth.”
