Cardi B toppled over onstage during the recent date of her headlining tour but joked that she wasn’t at fault for the mishap.

During the Sunday (February 22) date of her Little Miss Drama Tour at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Cardi fell through a trap door as it opened but played off the moment by waving to the crowd. After the fall, the lights gradually went down while a dancer helped up the Am I the Drama? artist.

Cardi addressed the incident in a tweet the next morning, calling herself “just a little clumsy” when she’s “moving too fast and too hype.”

“FUCK IT WE BALL.. but no seriously yesterday wasn’t even my fault 😭😭” she concluded.

Cardi previously fell during her February 13 show at T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Las Vegas when she fell off her chair and while performing her verse on the "Thotiana" remix. The Bronx native recovered but later blamed it on the “government,” and her continued references to government officials eventually led to back-and-forth jabs between her and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

"As long as she doesn’t drug and rob our agents, we’ll consider that an improvement over her past behavior," the X account for Homeland Security tweeted after Cardi threatened ICE agents during the first date of her tour.

Cardi retaliated by questioning the organization on their stance on the Jeffrey Epstein files. "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?" she tweeted.
