Cardi B, the American rapper known for her bold persona and unapologetic attitude, recently found herself in a bit of an awkward situation during a live Instagram session with her 169 million followers. While playing a game and having fun with fans, Cardi accidentally exposed herself, causing a social media storm. The unexpected moment occurred when she forgot to wear her underwear, and her “kpekus” (a slang term for her private part) was visible on camera.
The live session, which was meant to be a fun, casual interaction with her fans, quickly turned into a topic of viral discussion as viewers noticed the wardrobe mishap. Fans flooded social media with comments reacting to the embarrassing moment. Some were amused, while others criticized the rapper for her lack of modesty.
One fan, @its.cassie_mimi, commented on the incident, saying, “The live was so interesting and funny last night, but showing her kini (private parts) is not advisable.” Clearly, this fan enjoyed the entertainment, but felt that the unintended exposure was a step too far.
Another follower, @Mk_tk4, pointed out the cause of the wardrobe malfunction, simply saying, “She forget to wear her pant.” While this comment was brief, it summed up the situation clearly — Cardi had a slip-up and forgot to dress appropriately before going live.
In a more sarcastic tone, @Marco_exchange remarked, “If na Naija celebrity now, na once una go post am well” (translation: “If it were a Nigerian celebrity, you’d post this everywhere”). This fan seemed to suggest that the incident would have garnered even more attention had it involved a Nigerian celebrity, pointing out the tendency for celebrity mishaps to be heavily publicized in some circles.
Despite the mishap, Cardi B’s followers were quick to forgive her, and many understood that accidents happen. As a mother and a global superstar, Cardi B has built a brand that embraces authenticity and confidence, so it’s no surprise that she would be open about the incident without any shame. However, this live session was not the first time the rapper has made headlines for bold fashion choices.
