At this point, it feels like every time Cardi B steps out in public, she ends up taking a tumble. This time, a viral video from her Seattle, Washington, show got people talking. Cardi brought her Little Miss Drama Tour to Climate Pledge Arena on February 22. It’s her first big arena tour in years, and Seattle was just one of the stops.
In the video, Cardi is performing Press, working the stage, when she suddenly loses her balance and drops straight through a trap door. Fans jumped on the footage right away, replaying the fall, arguing about whether she tripped or if it was a stage mishap. The moment took on a life of its own online.
The streak has been going on for a while now. During her Little Miss Drama Tour stop in Las Vegas, she lost her balance and tumbled backward off a chair. She didn’t miss a beat, popped right back up, and cracked to the crowd, “That was the government!” She later reposted the clip online with a humorous caption about it being AI.
That wasn’t even her only viral moment. Right before the chair incident, Cardi had another mishap in San Francisco during Super Bowl weekend. She was outside her hotel, joking around with a humanoid robot before a Fanatics party. At one point, she gave the robot a lap dance and laughed, telling it to “get away from my man.” Then, out of nowhere, both she and the robot toppled over. The clip made the rounds online, adding to Cardi’s streak of unforgettable and totally meme-worthy stumbles.
This Seattle date was a highlight stop on the Little Miss Drama Tour, a 35-show run in support of Cardi’s Am I the Drama? album, which kicked off on February 11 in Palm Desert, California, and is scheduled to wrap on April 18 in Atlanta. Fans online were quick to react to the clip from Seattle. In comment threads and reposts, some worried about Cardi’s safety, while others couldn’t help but notice that her onstage stumbles are starting to become a thing.

The onstage moment quickly sparked another round of online commentary, with many pointing out what they see as a pattern. “Why she keep falling,” one person wrote. Another added, “Why is she always having accidents.” A third chimed in, “She falls at every show.”
Some viewers were more sarcastic. “She’ll say it’s a fake video again,” one user commented. Others leaned into conspiracy-style humor. “It was the government yall they steady tryna take her down!!” one person joked, while another added, “It’s the barbz setting her up.”
A few people focused on safety instead. “That’s supposed to be marked …they are lucky she wasn’t hurt,” one comment read. Another defended her, writing, “It’s clearly not her fault, you can literally see the trap door opening when it’s not meant to be..it’s actually dangerous + cardi did a great job of just continuing on !!”
Meanwhile, some felt the viral moment was doing exactly what it was meant to do. “It gets the people talking,” one user concluded.
Once again, Cardi B showed everyone how fast she bounces back. The Washington fall is everywhere online right now, but she is not the kind of person who lets a slip-up hold her back. Maybe it was a misstep, maybe something went wrong behind the scenes, but that moment just added more fuel to the nonstop chatter about her live shows.
