Cardi B turned a stage mishap into a pointed joke during her ‘Little Miss Drama’ tour stop in Las Vegas on February 13. While performing ‘Thotiana,’ the rapper tumbled backward off a chair near the song’s end. After finishing the track, she quipped to the crowd: “That was the governt!”
Recent Exchanges with Department of Homeland Security
The comment follows heated online exchanges between Cardi B and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). At a prior concert, she rallied fans against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), declaring: “If ICE come in here, we’re gonna jump they asses. I got some bear mace in the back. They ain’t taking my fans, bitch. Let’s go!”
DHS fired back on social media: “As long as she doesn’t drug and rob our agents, we’ll consider that an improvement over her past behaviour.” The response alluded to a 2016 video in which Cardi described drugging and robbing men while working as a stripper before fame.
Cardi addressed the incident in 2019, stating: “I made the choices that I did at the time because I had very limited options. I was blessed to have been able to rise from that, but so many women have not. Whether or not they were poor choices at the time, I did what I had to do to survive.”
Epstein Files Spark Latest Rebuttal
Cardi recently countered on X: “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?”
Her post aligns with the Department of Justice’s release of three million new Jeffrey Epstein documents on January 30. The batch includes 2,000 videos and roughly 180,000 images, disclosed under the Epstein Files Transparency Act to publicize two decades of investigation materials.
Epstein faced arrest in July 2019 on sex trafficking charges and died by hanging in his jail cell the following August. Public pressure since his death has driven demands for full disclosure of files naming high-profile associates.
Trump References in Released Files
Reports indicate the documents feature over 38,000 mentions of Donald Trump, Melania Trump, the Mar-a-Lago club, and related terms. Trump has repeatedly denied any involvement in Epstein’s crimes.
His administration has clashed with Cardi multiple times, including Vice President JD Vance weighing in last year to back Nicki Minaj during a renewed feud with the rapper.
