Kehlani is shutting down all the discussion surrounding a bulge fans noticed on their stomach.
On Friday, July 21, the "After Hours" singer took to Instagram to address a rumor about their health. In an Instagram Story, Kehlani revealed that they have a hernia, which is what caused the bump above their belly button that's caused plenty of speculation among their fans.
"Yes I have a hernia. Yes that's the buldge above my belly button," Kehlani wrote. "I gotta go over this once a week you guys are so concerned no it's not a tumor that's my intestine ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
According to the Mayo Clinic, a hernia happens when organs push through muscle or tissue, which creates a bulge. Kehlani had to cancel her European tour to have an emergency hernia surgery in 2017. Since then, the seasoned artist's body has been through significant changes. Last year, Kehlani felt compelled to address rumors that they had their abs etched despite their rigorous gym regimen.
โAb etching is absolutely insane when i literally have posted in the gym everyday for the past TWO YEARS and in the past months with an entire weighted vest on. when did i have time for surgery and i have an umbilical hernia i can't even have abdominal surgery please,โ she wrote according to BuzzFeed.
โFor the record i also don't have a problem with lir people having surgery,โ she added in an Instagram Story. โI haven't HAD one in years since removing my breast's that made me incredibly sick. which i've spoken on publicly. ive already had my hernia repaired once and that failed because i'm allergic to mesh. i'll always speak for myself when words are put into my mouth esp when it's twisted to be harmful. do whatever u want to ur bodies as long as it's safe.โ
Kehlani is used to setting their fanbase straight when it comes to rumors. They recently addressed people who tried to tie her to Chrisean Rock after they hit the gym together once. The singer also spoke out about their legal issues with the father of their daughter last year.
