Cardi B Threatens To 'Sue' After Robot ‘Launches’ At Her In Viral Dancing Video

Cardi B doesn't seem to be laughing off a viral clip that’s been making the rounds on X. The rapper responded after a video circulated showing her dancing and playfully grinding on a humanoid robot outside what appears to be the InterContinental San Francisco. In the clip, the robot suddenly "launches" forward, appearing to knock Cardi B off balance and send her tumbling to the ground as onlookers react.

As the video racked up millions of views and tens of thousands of interactions, Cardi B shut it down fast with a blunt warning directed at TMZ, who originally posted the video on X. “Delete or I will sue … immediately," she wrote in a reply X post.

The footage, which was shared by multiple accounts but has a TMZ logo plastered on the front, shows Cardi in a fitted yellow-and-black outfit dancing with the robot on a public walkway. At one point, the robot abruptly "launches" forward, catching Cardi off guard and causing her to fall backward.

The moment was quickly framed online as the robot “attacking” or “toppling” her. "Cardi B falls after a robot launches at her while she was dancing on it," one user who shared the video wrote, as another chimed in, "this video will go down in history."

A third wrote, "I can’t express how happy I am someone caught it from this angle lol," while someone else replied, "This is so good. Thank you. I cannot confirm or deny that I might have watched this 100 times already."

Cardi B’s viral robot moment comes as she’s spending Super Bowl week in San Francisco, where she’s expected to cheer on Stefon Diggs and the New England Patriots as they face off against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. But while Diggs prepares for the biggest game of his career, he’s also dealing with serious off-field drama.

Just days before kickoff, the Patriots wide receiver was hit with a lawsuit alleging defamation, civil conspiracy, and more. As The Blast reported, a man who claims he previously worked for Diggs says the NFL star asked him in July 2024 to help arrange transport for Diggs’ Ferrari from Miami to New York and then to Houston. The car was later reported stolen in Houston, a theft the man says law enforcement ultimately concluded was carried out by third parties in a sophisticated operation.

Despite that, the plaintiff alleges Diggs began telling people in their shared circles that he was responsible for the theft. The man says he was never arrested or charged, but claims the accusations severely damaged his concierge and consulting business.

In addition to making headlines online, Cardi B was also spotted out and about in San Francisco’s elite Super Bowl party circuit. The rapper attended the 2026 Fanatics Super Bowl Party, the ultra-exclusive event hosted by Michael Rubin, founder and CEO of Fanatics.

The star-studded bash took place Saturday night at Pier 48 in San Francisco and drew a who’s who of celebrities and athletes ahead of Super Bowl LX. Cardi mingled alongside major NFL names, including Joe Burrow and Tom Brady, as music, fashion, and football worlds collided for one of the most talked-about parties of the weekend.

With Bad Bunny set to headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show, speculation around surprise guest appearances has been swirling all week, and Cardi B has been at the center of it. The Grammy-winning rapper, who previously teamed up with Bad Bunny on their chart-topping hit "I Like It," was asked directly by a reporter whether fans could expect to see her pop up during the halftime performance.

Rather than shut the idea down or confirm anything, Cardi kept her answer deliberately vague. “It would be exciting,” she said, flashing a knowing smile before declining to elaborate further, even as the reporter pressed for more details.

Fans will certainly be watching closely when Bad Bunny takes the stage tonight, Sunday, February 8, to see if the two reunite under the brightest spotlight in sports.
