Cardi B Laughs Off Vegas Stage Fall, Quips 'That Was the Government'

The viral moment comes as she trades posts with DHS over anti‑ICE stage remarks, with her rebuttal pointing to newly released DOJ Epstein files.

Overview

  • During her Little Miss Drama tour stop at T‑Mobile Arena on Feb. 13, Cardi B fell backward off a chair while performing her 'Thotiana' verse and kept the song going from the floor before getting up to cheers.
  • She joked to the crowd, "That was the government," then reposted fan video on X with, "Can someone put a community note on this? This video is clearly AI."
  • Two nights earlier in Palm Desert, she told fans that if ICE appeared, "we're gonna jump they asses," prompting DHS to post that not drugging and robbing agents would be an "improvement over her past behavior."
  • Cardi replied on X by invoking Jeffrey Epstein, asking why "the Epstein files" were not being discussed; the DOJ released about three million Epstein‑related documents on Jan. 30, including thousands of videos and images.
  • Her tour continues after the light‑hearted slip, with additional North American dates including two shows at the Kia Forum in Inglewood on Feb. 15–16.
