Cardi B pleads guilty to 2018 NYC strip club fight
On Thursday, it was confirmed that Cardi B has pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges.
She admitted that she paid $5,000 to a friend to beat two women who worked at a New York strip club in 2018.
The 29-year-old rapper was dressed to the nines at the Queens Superior Court. She opted for a fitted cream-colored dress that hugged her curves.
Furthermore, she accessorized herself with huge fake nails and a massive ring. She completed her look by sporting tinted shades.
The mother of two looked relieved as she walked out of the courtroom. She said, ‘I feel like I look good.’
Nevertheless, Cardi B was able to escape jail time as she was sentenced to 15 days in community service.
Moreover, the judge ordered the WAP rapper to stay away from the victims of the incident as a three-year protection order was placed on her.
When the Queens Supreme Court Justice Michelle Johnson asked Cardi B if she understood the terms of her plea agreement, the Bronx-raised rapper quietly replied, ‘Yes.’

Cardi B was arrested for a fight that occurred at Angels Strip Club in Flushing, Queens in August 2018.
She allegedly ordered an attack on two bartender sisters over the claim that one of them slept with her husband, Offset.
The prosecutors further revealed that the brawl escalated when the Bodak Yellow rapper allegedly hurled a hookah at the sisters.
Regardless, throughout the case, Cardi B seemed to treat the court proceedings as a runway photo shoot, as she wore flashy designer pantsuits and furs.
Meanwhile, the hip-hop star released a statement after she pleaded guilty.
She wrote, ‘Part of growing up and maturing is being accountable for your actions. As a mother, it’s a practice that I am trying to instill in my children. But the example starts with me.’
Additionally, Cardi B said, ‘I’ve made some bad decisions in my past that I am not afraid to face and own up to. These moments don’t define me and they are not reflective of who I am now.’
