Be careful!
Cardi B fell off a chair mid-song during her concert in Las Vegas on Friday night.
The rapper was in the middle of performing her "Thotiana" remix when she took a provocative pose in a metal chair on stage at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nev. After she leaned back a little too far, the chair came crashing down on her and she toppled backwards.
The good news? She didn't miss a beat, continuing her signature flow while lying on her back.
After returning to her feet, Cardi joked about the tumble. "That was the government!" she yelled. "That was the government!"

The musician continued to poke fun at her accident in a video posted to her Instagram Stories afterwards. "Y'all, the government was out to get me today," she said, laughing. "I'm telling you, it was the government! The government, bitch!"
Cardi also joked about the incident in a post on X. Resharing video footage of it, she wrote, "Can someone put a community note on this? This video is clearly AI."
The rapper also shared a video on her Instagram Stories showing several bruises on her legs, though they're likely unrelated to her toppling on Friday night — she fell on her backside then, but the marks appeared around her knees and shins.
"I'm out here working for y'all motherf---ers!" she said in the video. "That's a lump right there. I'm out here working for y'all motherf---ers!"
In another video, which was time-stamped 2:28 a.m. local time, Cardi said she planned to take a "concoction" of supplements and anticipated a fitful night of sleep on her tour bus.
"I'm gonna take some ashwagandha, magnesium, and melatonin," she said. "Baby, I cannot wait. I want to sleep so f---ing good, bitch. Woah. I am so tired. And I just cannot get the hang of the bus — the whole shaking and everything. I'm very sensitive."
