You can learn almost anything via TikTok — and Cardi B is living proof.
The 30-year-old rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, October 3, to praise her makeup artist for tailoring the rapper’s dress while they were onboard a private jet. “So my stylist wasn’t on the plane with me, so Patience and my makeup artist [Erika] did this TikTok hack to take in my dress. … Would you try this? Teamwork make the dream work!!!” Cardi captioned the video.
In the clip, Erika could be seen tying the seam of the Grammy winner’s skin tight metallic dress with a scrunchie. She then tucked the banded fabric back into the dress and pushed the material down before pulling the outer layer of Cardi’s dress over her bum. The trick appeared to work, making Cardi look smooth and snatched.

The behind-the-scenes clip isn’t the first candid video Cardi has shared this week. On Monday, October 2, the “Press” artist hopped on Instagram Live to thank her followers — and warn her haters.
“I love all my fans,” she began. “Thank you all for holding me the f—k down. I have been trying not to disappoint my fans because I’ve been trying to be Cardi B, the professional. But Belcalis the Demon? It be really close to come out, and I don’t want that because I don’t want to disappoint my fans.” (Cardi’s real name is Belaclis Marlenis Cephus (née Almánza.)
“I will just say this: people love Cinderella until Cinderella gets a glass house,” she continued. “Let me keep it cute. To my haters and to y’all motherf–kers 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 you bitches. I will bring this internet into f—king shambles, bitch. You don’t even f—king know.” Cardi went on to alert Instagram live viewers that her wrath “will be crazy.”
She continued, “So, let me keep it cute. I have matured. Keep me there because I will f—king – this s—t will go down, bitch. I will land a motherf—king heli[copter] in this bitch. Facts. I won’t even say it out of my mouth. I literally got real receipts — with dates.”
Cardi added, “So, leave me alone. Because y’all not going to be ready for that. … Let me mind my business. Let me keep working. Let me be a mom. Let me keep putting music out. Don’t try to bring Belcalis out.”
It is not immediately clear what sparked Cardi’s message.
In addition slay red carpets and making hits, Cardi — who shares daughter Kulture, 5, and son Wave, 2, with husband Offset — has been busy building her business portfolio with Whipshots, a line of alcohol-infused whipped cream that is meant to be served on top of mojitos, margaritas, daiquiris and more.
