Rapper Cardi B had an unexpected and viral moment in San Francisco over the weekend while playfully interacting with a humanoid robot ahead of Super Bowl LX. The 33-year-old artist, known for her vibrant personality, was spotted outside her hotel on Saturday dressed in a black-and-yellow, skin-tight jumpsuit and high stilettos when she encountered the robot on the sidewalk.
In footage captured by TMZ and quickly spreading across social media platforms, Cardi is seen jokingly circling the machine before pretending to give it a lap dance. At one point, she teased the robot and playfully quipped, “Get away from my man,” as she danced around it.
However, the light-hearted interaction took an unforeseen turn when both Cardi and the robot began to lose their balance. The rapper slipped in her stilettos and fell to the ground, with the robot tipping over onto her as onlookers gasped and rushed forward to help her up. Despite the tumble, she appeared unhurt and was quickly assisted back to her feet.

The video rapidly went viral online, prompting Cardi B to respond directly on social media. In a comment under the clip, she warned the outlet that shared it, writing “Delete or I will sue … immediately,” referencing TMZ founder Harvey Levin in a joking threat.
Cardi was in town supporting her boyfriend, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, ahead of the team’s matchup against the Seattle Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium. The couple, who share a three-month-old son, have been in the public eye since late 2024 and drew additional attention as the incident circulated online.
