Cardi B Takes a Tumble but Keeps the Show Going During Las Vegas Stop on Little Miss Drama Tour

 Rapper Cardi B turned an unexpected onstage mishap into a memorable moment during her ongoing **Little Miss Drama Tour**, proving once again why her live performances are full of surprises and unbreakable energy.

The incident happened on Friday, February 13, 2026, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. While performing her verse on the remix of Blueface's 2019 track ''Thotiana'', the 33-year-old artist—real name Belcalis Almánzar—was seated on a prop chair, executing some bold, seated choreography. As she leaned back for emphasis, the chair slipped out from under her, sending her tumbling backward onto the stage floor.

Fan-recorded videos captured the moment in real time: Cardi B hit the ground on her backside but didn't skip a single lyric. She quickly transitioned into dancing from the floor, finishing her part seamlessly before popping back up. The crowd erupted in cheers as she pointed at the offending chair and quipped, "That was the government!" She doubled down with emphasis, repeating, "That was the government!" and adding, "Y’all, the government was out to get me today. I’m telling you." The line drew huge laughs and applause, turning what could have been an awkward slip into pure entertainment.

The joke landed perfectly, especially given her recent online exchanges with the Department of Homeland Security, which had fans buzzing earlier in the week. Cardi B later reposted clips of the fall on her social media, leaning into the humor and even playfully suggesting some circulating videos might be AI-generated.

Sources close to the tour described the fall as minor—no serious injuries were reported, and the performer powered through the rest of the set without issue. The Las Vegas show was the second night of the stop, following an earlier performance in the city. Reports also noted a separate costume malfunction during the evening, but Cardi B handled both hiccups with her signature confidence, keeping the energy high for the sold-out crowd.

This marks Cardi B's first major arena headlining tour since her 2019 run, supporting her second studio album, 'Am I the Drama?, released in 2025. The Little Miss Drama Tour kicked off on February 11, 2026, at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California, with emotional highs including tearful moments as she connected with fans. The North American trek features 35 dates, hitting major venues like the Kia Forum in Inglewood (February 15 and 16), Moda Center in Portland, and wrapping up in April at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

Fans have praised her professionalism and quick wit in handling the unexpected. Social media clips of the tumble spread rapidly, with many calling it a classic Cardi moment—chaotic, funny, and unflappable. One attendee summed it up online: "She fell, got right back up, blamed the feds, and kept the party going. That's why we love her."

The tour continues with upcoming shows in California and beyond, and if the Las Vegas night is any indication, audiences can expect high-energy sets packed with hits like "WAP," "Up," and tracks from her latest project—plus whatever spontaneous drama might unfold next.

Cardi B's ability to roll with the punches has long been part of her appeal, turning potential setbacks into viral highlights that keep fans talking long after the lights go down.
