Cardi B Recovers From On-Stage Fall With Hilarious Response

Let it never be said that Cardi B doesn’t know how to laugh at herself.

On Friday night, the Grammy-winning performer brought her Little Miss Drama tour to Paradise, Nevada, where she came a cropper during a rendition of her song Thotiana.

After running into some difficulty during a choreo section involving a metal chair, Cardi found herself tumbling backwards, and completing the rest of her verse flat on her back.

Upon finishing the song, she had a great one-liner for those in the audience, quipping: “That was the government.”

The WAP performer’s comment was a reference to the recent back-and-forth she had with the White House.

On the first night of her tour in Palm Desert, California last week, Cardi assured those in attendance: “Bitch, if ICE comes in here, we gon’ jump they asses.

“I’ve got some bear mace in the back! They ain’t taking my fans, bitch. Let’s go.”

Responding in a post on X, the US Department of Homeland Security said: “As long as she doesn’t drug and rob our agents, we’ll consider that an improvement over her past behaviour.”

Cardi has insisted she’s “not proud” of her past conduct, after previously admitting to drugging and robbing men earlier in her life when she was still working as a stripper.

Less than two hours after the DHS’ post, Cardi fired back to the White House: “If we talking about drugs let’s talk about Epstein and friends drugging underage girls to rape them. Why y’all don’t wanna talk about the Epstein files?”

When footage of her fall became more widely shared on social media, Cardi later joked: “Can someone put a community note on this? This video is clearly AI.”

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time in recent history that Cardi has been caught on camera hitting the deck – only to come back with a hilarious retort.

On Super Bowl Sunday, she was filmed in California giving “a lap dance” to a robot, but wound up falling down when she stumbled over her towering heels.
