Whoa!

Cardi B opened up about everything from getting butt injections to being in a gang in the newest issue of GQ, and she's nothing if not controversial.

The "Bodak Yellow" rapper told the story about how she went to an illegal doctor in a basement apartment in Queens, NY, and paid $800 for the procedure when she was just 21-years-old.

"They don't numb your ass with anything. It was the craziest pain ever. I felt like I was gonna pass out. I felt a little dizzy. And it leaks for, like, five days," she explained.

When she tried to go back for a touch-up, she discovered that the "physician" was no longer in practice.

"But by the time I was gonna go get it, the lady got locked up 'cause she's supposedly killed somebody. Well, somebody died on her table," she added.

As for her younger days in a gang?

"When I was 16 years old, I used to hang out with a lot of…Bloods. I used to pop off with my homies. And they'd say, 'Yo, you really get it poppin'. You should come home. You should turn Blood.' And I did. Yes, I did," she confessed.

"Sometimes it's almost like a fraternity, a sorority. Sometimes it's like that. And sometimes I see people that's in the same gang kill each other. So sometimes there is no loyalty. Sometimes you gotta do certain things to get higher, to get higher and higher. You're doing all of that and you not making money off of it. That's why I don't talk about it much. Because I wouldn't want a young person, a young girl, to think it's okay to join it," she detailed.

She doesn't want people think she's telling these stories for street cred, either.

"People always be like, 'Oh, Cardi never used to rep it when she wasn't making music.' Yeah, because I already got signed. I can do that now. I'm smarter than what people think. There's so many things that I limited myself because I wanted a million-dollar contract. When I do interviews, I don't talk about it, because I will lose my endorsements. But since the cat is out of the bag, that's how I feel. Why? For what? Why would you join a gang?" she insisted.

In other news, the chart topper just confirmed she was pregnant during her SNL appearance, and admitted in an interview with Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club that she briefly considered having an abortion, because of her exploding career and its commitments this next year. Ultimately, she knew she was ready for motherhood, so she didn't really give it a second thought.

She's certainly an open book!
