Bhad Bhabie is not saying much about her recent cancer diagnosis other than she is doing fine.
The rapper broke her silence since announcing news of her battle with cancer in a public sighting, but she did not do much to dispel the clout-chasing rumors.
Bhad Bhabie recently opened up about dealing with cancer on her Instagram story, where she revealed her dramatic weight loss was due to cancer medicine.
Bhad Bhabie Just Wants Her Fans To Know She Is 'Ok'
The paparazzi questioned the internet sensation as she arrived at the LAX airport on Sunday for comments on her health situation. Bhabie shared that she was doing "OK" and confessed that she was not interested in addressing things further.
The star, dressed down in a baby blue sweat set, kept a calm demeanor while arriving at the Los Angeles-based airport. She held her tan and white jacket tightly and focused on the phone as she made her way inside.
TMZ confirmed that her interaction with the paps marks the first time she will be addressing her diagnosis after she made headlines by posting cancer medicine on her Instagram story.
Bhabie's comment comes on the heels of myriads of questions floating across social media since her cryptic post.

Bhabie was forced to come clean about her health challenges when the internet became a discussion point for her sudden fragile appearance.
The Blast noted that some fans expressed worry at the new development describing it as a vain decision to follow the latest skinny beauty trend. Another faction blamed her appearance on her baby daddy, Le Vaughn.
Bhabie decided to take matters into her own hands and confirmed that her weight loss is a side effect of the cancer medication she has been taking, though she chose not to disclose further details about her diagnosis. Bhabie wrote on her Instagram Stories on Thursday, November 7:
"I'm sorry my cancer medicine made me loose [sic] weight. I'm slowly gaining back. So, stop running [with] the worst narratives."

The rapper's mom, Barbara Bregoli, also confirmed her daughter's sickness claims in a bid to defend her daughter against accusations that she is "faking" her illness.
"How dare you?" Bregoli said in an Instagram video shared on Friday, November 8. "[To say] my daughter would lie about something like that?"
Bregoli revealed that she has also battled "[breast cancer] twice. How dare you say my daughter's faking this?"
Bhabie's mom's outrage comes after Perez Hilton reposted Bhabie's announcement on his social media and declared, "I don't know if she's lying. I'm not claiming she's lying. I'm just… knowing how these types of people operate, I wouldn't put it past her to do something like this for attention."
Bregoli immediately addressed Hilton's narrative in the same video on her Instagram, saying:
"I'm pretty heated right now. And I'm pretty heated at Mario, aka Perez Hilton, for going on YouTube and talking about my daughter going on her Instagram story and talking about her having cancer."
The singer's mom added, "How dare you? I pray to god that one of your children never gets cancer... How dare you say my daughter's faking this, you vile piece of no good sh-t say my daughter will lie about something like that."

The fans blaming her lover for causing her weight loss were certainly not reaching as Bhabie has previously accused him of domestic violence. The Blast reported that she accused him on her Instagram and backed her claims with video evidence.
Clips from the surveillance footage showed a man, presumably Vaughn, arguing with Bhabie outdoors before shoving her into the concrete face first. The rapper shared the aftermath via a picture, showing her swollen and bruised face.
No one could say why Bhabie and Vaughn had been arguing, but she previously hinted at a feud over their child's custody. At the time, she wrote, "This man thinks he gonna [sic] take my daughter from me! Say whatever you want, [trying to] take my baby is crazy."
Bhad Bhabie Encouraged Le Vaughn To Take Accountability And Seek Help
The rapper who broke out after her viral appearance on "Dr. Phil" in 2016, where she dropped the famous phrase "Cash me outside, how 'bout that?" claimed she shared the video with pure intentions.
The mom-of-one reiterated that the video was not meant to incriminate or condemn Vaughn but to help him understand he needs to get help.
"I love that man more than I love myself, and it's honestly really sad. But unfortunately, this is real life. I know the easy way out is to leave, and that's better said than done," she began.
This rapper noted that while extreme violent attacks do not happen often, it is still fine to admit Vaughn has a problem. Bhabie promised Vaughn was "going to get the help he needs," adding:
"My point in sharing this wasn't to attack him. It was for him to see what he does is wrong and to take accountability and make a REAL CHANGE."
Fans cannot wait to hear Bhad Bhabie speak about her health.
