Cardi B experienced a brief tumble during the Las Vegas leg of her highly anticipated “Little Miss Drama” tour. The incident occurred during her performance at the T-Mobile Arena on Friday, February 13.
While delivering a high-energy rendition of “Thotiana,” the 33-year-old superstar lost her footing while incorporating a chair into her choreography. The mishap was caught on camera by several concertgoers and immediately began circulating across social media platforms.
Dressed in a striking red lace ensemble, the rapper was attempting a provocative lean-back maneuver when she slipped and landed on the stage floor. Demonstrating seasoned professionalism, she didn’t miss a beat, seamlessly continuing her routine from the ground alongside her troupe of dancers. Her quick recovery turned a potential embarrassment into a testament to her stage presence.
Once the song concluded, Cardi addressed the audience with her signature wit. Pointing at the chair, she jokingly shouted, “That was the government!” sparking laughter and cheers from the capacity crowd.
The humor continued online as the clip gained traction. Re-sharing a video of the fall on X (formerly Twitter), Cardi quipped to her followers, “Can someone put a community note on this? This video is clearly AI.”
The “Little Miss Drama” tour launched earlier that week at the Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California. The opening night featured a tribute to Tejano legend Selena and a fiery segment where the Grammy winner addressed immigration enforcement.
“If ICE comes in here, we’re standing our ground,” she told the crowd during the tour opener, asserting that she would protect her fans at all costs. This prompted a rare public response from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which took to social media the following day to issue a biting retort regarding the rapper’s past controversies.
Despite the minor stage slip and the political back-and-forth, Cardi B’s tour continues to dominate headlines as one of the most talked-about musical events of the season.
