She was on a private flight with a few members of her entourage, including former publicist Patientce Foster, one of the maestros behind her career.
Patientce got together with Cardi’s makeup artist to use a hair tie in order to cinch the rap star’s gown in from the back.
In order to get the job done, Cardi had to let her dress fall down from the front — which, considering she was braless, could have left her exposed.
However Cardi kept her arms folded across her front and also used a bee emoji, ensuring she did not show any more than she wanted to.

When the hair tie trick was complete, Cardi twirled around in her dress and shook her ample backside at the camera.
‘So my stylist wasn’t on the plane with me so Patience and my makeup artist did this TikTok hack to take my dress in… would you try this???’ she asked her fans on X (formerly Twitter). ‘Teamwork make the dream work!!!’
Her cheerful video comes after she sent an ominous message to her ‘haters’ in the wake of footage emerging of Kanye West calling her an ‘Illuminati plant’.
The WAP rapper warned people to leaver her alone and let her make her music in an Instagram live as she threatened to release ‘receipts’ that would send the internet into meltdown.
The 30-year-old had already responded once to West — who made the comments accusing her of being a plant in an unreleased 2018 documentary — by sharing his own words from 2022 when he said ‘I always believed in her.’
In the clip, Cardi B said: ‘To my haters, and all you motherf*****s who want to see mess, leave me the f*** alone, because I come with receipts.’
She blared: ‘I will f***ing bring this internet into f***ing shambles, b****. I been trying not to disappoint my fans because I’ve been trying to be Cardi B, the professional. But Belcalis [her real name], the demon, it be really close to come out. And I don’t want that because I don’t want to disappoint my fans.’
She thundered on: ‘I’ma just say this – people love Cinderella ’til Cinderella get a glass house. To my haters and to y’all muthaf**kas that want to see mess, leave me the f**k alone. Because I come with receipts. I come with receipts, years-old receipts.

‘I got receipts on all you n****s and all you b****es. And I will f***ing bring this internet into f***ing shambles, b**** […] It will be crazy. So let me keep it cute. I have matured. Keep me there. ‘Cause this shit will go down, b****. I will land a muthaf**king helly in this b****. Facts.
‘And I won’t even just say it out my mouth. I literally got real receipts with dates. So leave me because y’all not going to be ready for that. Y’all not going to be ready for nothing. Let me mind my business. Let me keep working. Let me be a mom. Let me keep putting music out,’ she requested.
Cardi had already once responded to the viral clip of the now-46-year-old Chicago native by tweeting, and subsequently deleting, a 2022 clip of West speaking highly of her and her talents in a Hollywood Unlocked clip.
In the clip, released the same year the pair collaborated on the track Hot S*** he says that he had championed Cardi B since her time on the reality show Love & Hip-Hop: New York.
‘I always believed in her since she was on the show,’ West said in the clip, which Cardi B posted with a heart emoji.
This appears at odds with the newly-surfaced 2018 comments.
In them, West says that Cardi B doesn’t ‘write her raps’ and is ‘just there to sound as ignorant as possible and then make songs like, “F*** them and get some money.”‘
West — who has largely been out of the media since making a series of anti-Semitic remarks late last year — added that Cardi B ‘has literally replaced Nicki Minaj’ and was ‘purposely’ positioned at the level of stardom she has achieved.

Bad blood: Kanye West (pictured in 2020) suggested that Cardi B was an industry plant – specifically, ‘a plant by the Illuminati’ – in an unreleased 2018 documentary that leaked on Sunday
‘Now she doesn’t know what to do,’ he continued, ‘and she has no idea what the f*** is going on.
‘She thinks it’s just a blessing from the universe — it ain’t no blessing from the f***ing universe.’
Cardi B is not the first big name to be faced with this accusation.
Similar discourse had been floated around Billie Eilish, Ice Spice, and Katy Perry in recent years, associated with a seemingly-immediate rise to prominence which some feel is ‘jammed down the throats of consumers’ according to a 2020 Complex feature.
