Bhad Bhabie is making a major career change.
“They said I’m rich and bored,” the rapper, 23, wrote via X on Sunday, October 11, alongside mirror selfies in which she wore black scrubs. “I been working on getting my nursing license. I love the med field.”
Though she’s shifting her career, Bhabie appears to still be making music, as she recently released her latest single, “What U Like.”
Bhabie (real name Danielle Bregoli) first became a viral sensation in 2016 when she was 13 years old. She appeared on Dr. Phil at the time as her mother, Barbara Bregoli, sought help regarding the then-teen’s severe behavioral issues. Her catchphrase on the show, “Catch me outside, how ’bout dat?” became an internet phenomenon.
Capitalizing on her Dr. Phil fame, Bhabie launched a rap career. She signed to Atlantic Records and released her first single, “These Heaux,” in 2017, becoming the youngest female rapper to debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Bhabie went on to release hits like “Hi Bich” and “Gucci Flip Flops.”
In 2024, Bhabie went viral again thanks to her feud with Travis Barker’s daughter Alabama Barker. At the time, she accused Alabama, 20, of pursuing her partner, Le Vaughn, with whom Bhabie shares 2-year-old daughter Kali Love. Alabama denied initiating anything, claiming that Le Vaughn, 27, had repeatedly reached out to her.
Alabama and Bhabie’s beef sparked a series of diss tracks, starting with Bhabie’s “Over Cooked.” Alabama then released “Cry Bhabie,” prompting Bhabie’s response, “Ms. Whitman.” The feud seemingly fizzled out over time.
Bhabie has also been experiencing a health battle, as she revealed in late 2024 that she was fighting blood cancer.
“I’m sorry my cancer medication made me loose [sic] weight,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “Im slowly gaining it back. So stop running w the worst narratives.”
The OnlyFans creator shared an update in February, writing via X that she received “bad news from my doctor yesterday.”
“God has the last say so not my cancer💜,” she added.
Bhabie’s mother has jumped to the rapper’s defense amid claims her cancer is “karma.”
“Let me say this, social media has become an app where people think they can come on here and say the most vile things and think it’s funny because they’re hiding behind a screen,” Barbara, 58, said in a 2024 Instagram video. “That’s the lowest form of anything. Babies don’t ask to get cancer, little children don’t ask to get cancer, the elderly don’t ask to get — nobody asks to get cancer.”
Barbara continued, “Don’t come on here with your balls so mighty saying, ‘Oh, yeah, that’s your karma,’ because it just might be yours. Don’t ever say something about someone unless you’ve experienced it. Let me tell you something, play with me every day. Don’t come after my kid. Don’t come after my family.”
