ASSAULT AND RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT! Rapper Cardi B heads to court in New York for fighting at a strip club
American Rapper Cardi B was due to appear in New York City criminal court on Monday, facing charges of assault and reckless endangerment in connection with a fight at a strip club.
The 26-year-old performer, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, surrendered to police in October after being accused of involvement in the Aug. 15 incident at the Angels NYC strip club in the borough of Queens.
Jeff Kern, a representative for the rapper, told reporters at the time of her arrest, “We’re aware of no evidence that she caused anybody any harm at the club that night.”
According to the New York Times, Cardi B accused one of two sisters who tend bar at the club of having an affair with her husband, Offset, who is part of the rap trio Migos.
