Cardi B didn\u2019t miss a beat \u2014 or a jab \u2014 during her \u201cLittle Miss Drama\u201d tour Las Vegas show Friday night when the chair she was dancing on slipped out from under her,<\/a> sending her spilling onto the floor.<\/p>\n

The star kept singing as she lay flat on her back as she had landed, dancing with her hips. Two backup dancers appeared next to her, improvising moves as they checked in to make sure she was OK while they wrapped up her \u201cThotiana\u201d remix.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was the government!<\/a>\u201d she joked, pointing to the chair after getting back up. \u201cThat was the government!\u201d<\/p>\n

Cardi B, whose given name is Belcalis Almanzar, was no doubt referring to her shade-driven exchange<\/a> with the Homeland Security Department a few days earlier regarding her takedown of ICE.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf ICE come in here, we\u2019re gonna jump they a\u2013es,\u201d she said that night during her opening show in Palm Desert, Calif., addressing her audience from a platform suspended above the crowd. \u201cI got some bear Mace in the back. They ain\u2019t taking my fans, b\u2014h. Let\u2019s go!\u201d<\/p>\n

In response, Homeland Security dragged Cardi\u2019s stripper past out of mothballs, alluding to her 2019 admission that she had resorted to drugging and robbing clients<\/a> for a time.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs long as she doesn\u2019t drug and rob our agents<\/a>, we\u2019ll consider that an improvement over her past behavior,\u201d posted the government agency behind the controversial ICE immigration crackdowns in Minneapolis and other Democratic-run cities.<\/p>\n

Cardi B clapped right back.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we talking about drugs, let\u2019s talk about Epstein and friends drugging<\/a> underage girls to rape them,\u201d she tweeted in response. \u201cWhy y\u2019all don\u2019t wanna talk about the Epstein files?\u201d<\/p>\n

After the clip of Friday\u2019s fall went viral with millions of hits, Cardi B got in on the joke, posting a copy on her own site, joking, \u201cCan someone put a community note on this? This video is clearly AI<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cardi B didn\u2019t miss a beat \u2014 or a jab \u2014 during her \u201cLittle Miss Drama\u201d tour Las…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":427772,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,2739,156828,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-427771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-latest-headlines","tag-snyde","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=427771"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427771\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/427772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=427771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=427771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=427771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
