Cardi B Devours Bucket of Ice on IG Live, Calls It “Better Than Six Bottles of Water”

Cardi B doesn’t do anything halfway — not even hydration.

In the early hours of February 26, the Grammy-winning rapper jumped on Instagram Live and casually ate ice from a silver bucket for three straight minutes, insisting the habit is basically the same as “drinking six bottles of water.”

Yes. Six.

The livestream started innocently enough. Cardi — born Belcalis Almánzar — was preparing a cup of Buldak ramen with milk and cheese while chatting about her Little Miss Drama Tour. But between bites, she kept scooping mouthfuls of ice like it was popcorn at a movie.

At one point, she admitted she felt “a little brain freeze.”

That didn’t stop her.

“I Think It’s an Ice Addiction”

Cardi openly addressed what she described as an “ice addiction,” saying the habit has intensified over the years.

“I feel like it’s gotten worse,” she told viewers.

She acknowledged that chewing ice is often linked to anemia — but quickly shut that theory down for herself.

“They say that you eat a lot of ice when you’re anemic, but I’m not anemic. I know because I get blood tested all the time,” she said.

Instead, Cardi insists there are benefits.

“The way that I eat ice, I see it as equivalent to drinking six bottles of water a day — probably more,” she explained, adding that she sometimes goes through five large cups of Chick-fil-A ice in a single day.

Five.

Stomach Issues, Show Pressure, and Tour Life

The late-night session also doubled as a candid check-in.

Cardi admitted she hadn’t performed the way she wanted at a recent show after suffering a stomach ache the night before. She said she took five showers and even a bath trying to ease the discomfort.

“Who’s gonna cook healthy for me? I don’t have my mommy or my chef,” she joked, explaining why she was eating ramen despite not feeling her best.

She also sipped on an electrolyte drink during the stream, clarifying that yes — she does consume actual water too.

The ice, apparently, is just a bonus.

She’s Not Alone

Cardi isn’t the only celebrity to publicly confess a love for chewing ice.

Remy Ma once revealed she cracked a veneer because of it. Coco Jones has openly said her doctor linked her ice habit to iron deficiency.

Still, Cardi seems unfazed.

If anything, she embraced it — turning what might be a quirky habit into a viral moment.

Because in Cardi B’s world, even a midnight snack becomes headline material.

And judging by the internet’s reaction, three minutes of ice chewing might just be her coldest viral moment yet.
