Cardi B was caught in a messy drama while dancing with a non-human. The clip popped off on X after TMZ posted a clip in the Bay Area. The post was titled, “Cardi B Tips Robot Onto Herself While Giving A Lap Dance, Video.” Seconds later, the rapper fired back in plain text: “Delete or I will sue …immediately.” That quick warning turned a robot mishap clip into a bigger trending moment. It also pushed the conversation from laughs to rights and reposts.
Cardi B threatens to ‘sue’ over video of viral robot ‘lap dance’ mishap
TMZ’s February 8 post shows the Grammy winner in a black-and-yellow outfit beside a silver robot. The clip shows the scene outside a glass-fronted building, with onlookers nearby filming. First, she steps in, then crouches low, playing to the cameras.
However, the robot tips as she leans back, and she falls with it. People rush in and lift the robot off her. In the final beats, she seems to get up fast and head inside. Meanwhile, the TMZ post drew 22K likes and 2.4M views.
Then Cardi’s response tweet gained even more traction. The screenshot that the post garnered 3.6M views and 127K likes. It also logged 2.2K replies and 5.6K reposts. Still, her message stayed short, with the threat to “sue” doing the work. At the same time, the clip’s spread put her in control of the framing. The “I Like It” star has a long history of answering viral clips in real time.
After that, the Cardi B robot video kept looping through Super Bowl weekend timelines. Cardi B, 33, is the Bronx rapper behind “Bodak Yellow” and “WAP.” Some users treated it as a joke, while others read it as a legal warning. Even so, the main point was not the stunt. It was her request for a takedown, delivered in one line.
