Cardi B had an unexpected moment backstage during her recent show in Denver after the city’s high altitude made breathing difficult.
According to Cardi, she had to use an oxygen mask backstage to help her recover while performing in the Mile High City. The Bronx rapper shared the experience with fans, joking about how different the air felt compared to other tour stops.
“Denver air, it’s a different type of mf air,” Cardi said, referencing the city’s thinner air caused by its elevation.
Denver sits more than 5,000 feet above sea level, which can make breathing more challenging for people who aren’t used to the altitude. Despite the brief setback, Cardi was able to push through and continue with the show, giving fans a memorable performance.
The moment quickly circulated online, with fans reacting to Cardi’s honesty about the challenges performers sometimes face while touring in high-altitude cities.
