TMZ captured the moment on video: Cardi, wearing a tight black-and-yellow jumpsuit and sky-high heels, performed a cheeky dance in front of the robot. But things quickly went awry — both Cardi and the robot lost their balance, sending the rapper sprawling on the pavement with the robot literally toppling onto her.
The clip immediately went viral across social media, and Cardi herself responded with a dramatic flair. In the comments under TMZ’s post, she wrote:
“Delete this, or I’ll sue… immediately.”
She then addressed TMZ founder Harvey Levin directly, adding: “I’m calling you, Harvey!”
The incident has fans both laughing and sympathizing, proving that even Grammy winners aren’t immune to unexpected pratfalls.
