Cardi B appeared in New York court Thursday (Sept. 15) and pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges Thursday — admitting she paid a friend $5,000 to beat up a woman who worked at a Queens strip club in 2018.
Cardi B , who was dressed in a tight cream-colored dress, admitted to third-degree assault and second-degree reckless endangerment as part of a plea agreement that spared her jail time.
“I feel like I look good,” Cardi said when asked how she felt upon leaving the courthouse.

Cardi B was given a three-year order of protection and ordered to perform 15 days of community service after getting into a fight with two bartender sisters during which she threw a hookah at one of them and instructed a friend to attack the other for allegedly sleeping with her husband.
Asked by Queens Supreme Court Justice Michelle Johnson if she understood the terms of her plea agreement, the rapper answered “Yes” in a quiet voice.

Cardi B , whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, also admitted to striking the bartender, pulling her hair and slamming her head into the bar during the attack in August 2018.
Her role in the assault on the sisters, Jade and Baddie G., at the Flushing strip club Angels led to 12 accusations against her, including two felonies for attempted assault.

She sat on a bench inside the courtroom and nervously tapped her foot before the hearing, but she also engaged in conversation, laughed, and turned to greet reporters.
Cardi B rejected a plea agreement in 2020, and her attorney, Drew Findling, claimed she did so in an effort to simply go on with her life.
“There are too many things that she has planned for her family, for her career and for the community and she just felt, quite honestly, that a three-week jury trial was going to be a distraction from the things that she felt was most important and so, hence, we made contact with the prosecution,” Findling said after the plea.
