Bebe Rexha took to Instagram on Friday to share a body positive selfie with her 10.7 million followers.
The photo showed the 33-year-old pop star – who stunned at the amFAR gala in Cannes last week – without makeup as she lifted a black sweatshirt to reveal her stomach.
She captioned the image, “Yes, I’m in my fat era and what?”, showing her acceptance of the recent weight gain.
The Brooklyn native rocked tousled blonde locks that fell over her shoulder and she wore a diamond-encrusted name tag necklace.
It comes after the singer spoke out to people discussing her recent 30-pound weight gain due to PCOS, polycystic ovary syndrome.

Last week, the Me, Myself, And I hitmaker was a guest on The Jennifer Hudson Show, where she opened up about her research.
“Listen, we’re in the public eye, so that’s definitely going to happen,” she told host Jennifer Hudson.
“I was a lot thinner and I gained some weight — that’s part of the territory. I’m not mad about it because it’s true, but when you see things like that, it messes with you.
“You don’t know what someone’s going through, what they’re going through in their life, so it’s kind of hard. But I feel like we’re in 2023…we shouldn’t be talking about people’s weight,” she added.
“Listen… I like to eat, okay? I like to eat,” Bebe added, while the 41-year-old Hudson agreed, “There’s nothing wrong with that!”
The music artist said she couldn’t help but watch the comments when she saw “Bebe Rexha weight gain” trending on TikTok.
“It’s so shocking to see that search bar. I’m not mad because it’s true. I did arrive. But it just sucks. Thank you to all the people who love me no matter what,” she tweeted.
“I’ve always struggled with my weight. A bi*** likes to eat. I work on myself every day. I’m a little discouraged right now,” she admitted to followers.
The longtime entertainer also shared details about her health on the primetime TV show.
“I went to the doctor last year — and a lot of women have this and don’t know about it — but they diagnosed PCOS, which is polycystic ovarian syndrome,” she revealed.

She continued, “It is one of the main causes why women gain weight and are obese. I literally jumped about 30 pounds that fast, maybe a little more. But we just have to be positive and show people love.’
PCOS is a hormonal imbalance that affects one in 10 women of childbearing age.
It can cause irregular periods, infertility, excessive body hair, acne and weight gain.
‘It is heavy. … I’ve definitely struggled with my weight and I’ve struggled forever with food,” Bebe noted.
She also recently discussed her weight on Gayle King’s SiriusXM show, saying, “I definitely struggle with my weight and I struggle with how I look, and it’s been hard for me.”
And she revealed that when she signed her first record deal, the label encouraged her to drop 20 pounds.
Are you ready to get into boot camp shape? Because you have to lose 20 pounds to do this career. For example, you need to lose weight,” Bebe told her.
