Added on September 17, 2025 inEntertainment News Cards

So, here’s a wild thought—can a rapper really catch some Z’s mid-trial and still boss up like a champ? Cardi B just did exactly that, nodding off in court during her high-profile assault case and now, instead of ducking the drama, she’s cracking jokes about it. Honestly, with Mercury still doing its chaotic dance in Virgo, maybe the universe was nudging her to slow down just a bit amidst the madness of album rollouts, school-days-missed, and cameras rolling. You gotta wonder—if even Cardi can’t keep her eyes peeled, what hope do the rest of us have when life piles on? Here’s the lowdown on how Cardi’s courtroom siesta turned into a headline and how she’s keeping it real while gearing up for her big new drop. LEARN MORE.

Cardi B nodded off in court during a high-profile assault trial and now she’s owning up to it with no excuses and a little humor.

The Bronx-born rapper appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Monday (September 15) and addressed the viral moment in which she was caught on camera dozing during her summer courtroom showdown.

“I’m not even going to lie, I was,” she admitted when asked if she really fell asleep. “I had a long night! I’m in the middle of an album rollout. I was so sleepy, I was trying to fight it.”



The trial stemmed from a 2018 incident where Cardi was accused of assaulting a security guard. Despite the fatigue, she walked away victorious. But the stress wasn’t lost on her.

“I’m so overwhelmed,” she told Hudson. “I’m in the middle of an album rollout, and I have to go to court. And then, when I get to court, I realize that it’s going to be on national TV, being televised. It’s like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me’ … I missed my kids’ first day of school.”

The Grammy Award-winning rapper is gearing up for the September 19 release of her next album, Am I the Drama?, which she confirmed will feature collaborations with Janet Jackson, Selena Gomez, Tyla, Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo and Kehlani.
