Cardi B
During a recent stop on her Little Miss Drama Tour at the T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Cardi B delivered an unexpected viral moment after slipping mid performance. The rapper was performing her remix of Thotiana when she leaned back on a prop chair as part of the choreography. Within seconds, the chair tipped over, sending her tumbling backward onto the stage in front of thousands of fans.
What could have been an awkward interruption quickly turned into one of the most talked about highlights of the night. Instead of pausing the show or appearing flustered, Cardi continued performing from the floor alongside her dancers, keeping the momentum intact. Once she got back on her feet, she addressed the fall with her trademark humour, pointing toward the chair and joking, “That was the government!”
