Last October, Kendrick Lamar, Janet Jackson, and Megan Thee Stallion led the fest, which also coincided with the 50th anniversary of hip-hop and featured a special stage dedicated to the genre’s half-centennial.

ONE MusicFest organizers released their own statement on social media and reposted Cardi’s statement. “Hey #OMFFam! Unfortunately, @iamcardib announced that she is no longer available to join us this year due to ongoing health issues,” reads the caption. “Let’s all keep her in our prayers for a full recovery! We are working hard to find a replacement at this late date. More to come soon.”
