Cardi B’s “Be Careful” has taken on an entirely new meaning.

​During her Las Vegas show on Friday, Cardi B fell off a chair in the middle of performing “Thotiana” remix. After leaning back too far, the chair came crashing down on her, and she fell backwards.

​Cardi kept on rhyming while she was on her back. When she got to her feet, she revealed who set her up to fall.

“That was the government!” Cardi joked with the crowd.

Following the show, Cardi posted a video to her Instagram Stories making fun of the incident.

“Y’all, the government was out to get me today,” she said, laughing. “I’m telling you, it was the government! The government, b*tch!”

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Cardi shared the footage and claimed it was doctored by AI.

“Can someone put a community note on this? This video is clearly AI,” her post read.

On her Instagram Stories, Cardi posted photos with numerous bruises on her legs, knees, and shins. According to the “I Like It” rapper, it was the cost of putting on a great show.

“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!”

Cardi also shared that she planned to take a “concoction” of supplements and go to sleep on the 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.”

CARDI B IS ON TOUR FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2019
