Cardi B had an unexpected fall during her concert in Las Vegas on February 13, 2026, while performing at T-Mobile Arena. The “WAP” rapper fell backward from a chair during her performance of “Thotiana,” but quickly stood up and continued moving forward with the show. After getting back on her feet, she pointed at the chair and joked to the audience, “That was the government,” turning the now-viral fall into a humorous moment.

Two days earlier, on February 11, 2026, Cardi opened her Little Miss Drama Tour in Palm Desert, California, where she made controversial remarks about immigration authorities, saying she would not allow ICE into her show.
“If ICE come in here, we’re gonna jump they asses,” Cardi said onstage. “I got some bear mace in the back. They ain’t taking my fans, bitch. Let’s go!”
Her comments gained traction online, and the United States Department of Homeland Security responded publicly on social media, bringing up past legal troubles Cardi B has had.
“As long as she doesn’t drug and rob our agents, we’ll consider that an improvement over her past behavior.”
Cardi replied strongly to Homeland Security on X by referencing discussions and controversies about the Epstein files, involving Trump’s administration. She questioned why authorities were not focusing on this issue instead of her.
“If we talking about drugs let’s talk about Epstein and friends drugging underage girls to rape them. Why yall don’t wanna talk about the Epstein files?”
