It looks like Cardi B has officially reached next-level star power — so much so that even machines can’t keep their cool around her.
During a lively moment on the streets of San Francisco, the rapper had the crowd buzzing after approaching a public robot with her trademark confidence and humor. Cameras captured Cardi strutting up to the bot, joking with onlookers that she was about to give it a lap dance — and then fully committing to the bit.
In the now-viral clip, Cardi playfully danced around the robot, ran her hands across its metallic frame, and even leaned in as if to kiss its completely expressionless face. That’s when things took an unexpected turn.
As Cardi leaned forward, the robot suddenly tipped toward her, appearing to lunge and collapse in her direction. The moment sparked a startled scream from the rapper as the bot fell awkwardly between her legs. Thankfully, nearby spectators rushed in to help, and Cardi popped back up laughing, seemingly unharmed and unfazed.
The moment only added fuel to her larger-than-life persona — and perfectly sums up the joke fans are now running with: Cardi B says men are constantly throwing themselves at her — and now, even robots are joining the chase!
The timing wasn’t random either. Cardi was in town to support Stefon Diggs, cheering him on as his New England Patriots prepared to face the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl, which kicked off Sunday afternoon.
All jokes aside, the rapper walked away just fine — and the internet walked away with yet another unforgettable Cardi B moment.
