Cardi B has canceled her scheduled performance at the One MusicFest, and to say her fans are disappointed would be an understatement.
Just days before she was supposed to take the stage at the festival in Atlanta, Ga., the "WAP" artist revealed she would not be in attendance due to a "medical emergency."

"I am so sad to share this news, but I've been in the hospital recovering from a medical emergency the last couple of days and I won't be able to perform at ONE MusicFest," Cardi, 32, wrote in a statement shared via Instagram on Wednesday, Oct. 23.
"It breaks my heart that I won't get to see my fans this weekend and I really wish I could be there," she added.

"Bardi Gangâthank you for understanding and I'll be back better and stronger soon," she continued. "Don't worry. Love yall."
But many of her fans weren't pleased with the last-minute cancellation, even despite the rapper's recent hospitalization , which she hasn't yet provided any further details about.
"Iâm about to report my ticket as fraud," one enraged Instagram user wrote in the comments, while another person said they "want a refund."
"Yall better pull a miracle to replace these acts coming off the lineupâŠ" someone else implored.
"Thank god I didn't buy a ticket this year," another seemingly relieved fan wrote.
Others said they already expected Cardi to bail, as the "I Like It" rapper already had a lot going on in her life lately . Not only is she in the middle of a messy divorce from Offset , but Cardi gave birth to the pair's third child last month.
"I had already made up in my mind this was happening lol," one person wrote. "I was skeptical she was going to be there in the first place," someone else insisted.
The Instagram account for the music festival reposted Cardi's statement on their own page, urging ticket holders, "Let's all keep her in our prayers for a full recovery!"
They also claimed to be "working hard to find a replacement at this late date."
Cardi was supposed to perform during the festival's Saturday, Oct. 26 date alongside a slew of other acts, including Earth, Wind & Fire , Nelly , Fantasia and several more. The festival also has performers taking the stage on Sunday, Oct. 27, with a lineup that includes Victoria Monét , Gunna , Jill Scot , Keyshia Cole and more.
For now, the One MusicFest has promised fans there will be "more to come soon" regarding a replacement for Cardi.
