The ball definitely wasn’t in Cardi B’s court when she faced a wardrobe malfunction earlier this week.

According to the New York Post‘s Page Six, the “Bongos” rapper, 31, experienced a major fashion faux pas on her way to a Knicks playoffs game at Madison Square Garden on April 30. The outlet reports that on her way to the venue, Cardi B’s chest “bust out” of her top (though what the style of it was is unclear).

The mom of two immediately turned back around to find another shirt — a gingham button-up option that covered her breasts — before returning courtside just in time for the last three minutes of the game.

While her top was oversize, she played with sexy proportions with a plaid miniskirt. She also went for furry boots by Loewe and a rare Hermès Himalayan Birkin bag.

Every Time Cardi B Handled a Wardrobe Malfunction Like a Champ

Cardi B was seen with Offset, further muddling their relationship status.

In December, she revealed in an Instagram Live that she and the 32-year-old rapper — with whom she shares daughter Kulture, 5, and son Wave, 2 — had separated after six years of marriage. However, in January, the “WAP” rapper confirmed that they did spend New Year’s Eve together — and had sex at the time — but admitted that she won’t consider their relationship to be reconciled until they work on their issues as a couple and individually.

In March, she starred in the “Like What (Freestyle)” music video, which was directed by the former Migos member.

Cardi B Goes Topless on a Plane to Fix Wardrobe Mishap with TikTok Hack: ‘Would You Try This?’

But, let’s go back to how Cardi B handled her style malfunction like a pro, which isn’t entirely surprising since she’s proven her quickness many times before.

Back in October 2023, she showed fans how she and her glam squad managed to fix her broken dress with a TikTok hack (watch the full video, in which Cardi B is topless, here). “Would you try this?” she asked her fans on X (formerly Twitter), adding: “Teamwork make the dream work!!!”

Cardi B’s also had a ton of sartorial slip-ups on stage, like when she exposed her derrière during her 2018 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball performance and when she recovered from a near nip-slip at 2017 MTV Video Music Awards. See all her memorable malfunctions.
