American rapper Cardi B has threatened legal action against media outlet TMZ following a viral incident in San Francisco involving a humanoid robot. The Grammy-winning artist, in the city to support her partner Stefon Diggs ahead of Super Bowl LX, was filmed falling after a playful interaction with the machine turned into a physical collision.
The incident occurred on Saturday as the rapper walked the streets of San Francisco. Eyewitness footage shows the rapper approaching a sidewalk robot, announcing to an assembled crowd her intention to give the machine a lap dance. During the performance, she was heard joking, “Get away from my man,” while circling the unit.
The situation escalated when Cardi B leaned in toward the robot’s face. Both the rapper and the robot lost their balance, causing the machine to topple onto her. The collision prompted a shriek from Cardi B and left her briefly pinned on the sidewalk. Onlookers and members of her team quickly intervened to assist her and upright the robot.
Cardi B appeared uninjured and quickly returned to her feet. However, she expressed significant dissatisfaction with the circulation of the footage. Taking to social media, the rapper issued a direct ultimatum to TMZ, demanding the video be removed from their platforms.
“Delete or I will sue… immediately,” Cardi B posted, specifically naming the outlet’s founder in her demand.
Despite the legal tension, Cardi B continued her scheduled appearances throughout the Super Bowl weekend. The incident follows a high-profile marketing week for her second album, Am I The Drama?, which recently set a Guinness World Record for drone deliveries. No official legal filings have been confirmed at the time of this report.
