Cardi B turned herself over to New York City police Monday morning regarding charges stemming from an alleged strip club altercation that occurred on August 29.
The rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, was charged with reckless endangerment and assault, a NYPD spokesperson told The Independent.
The fight reportedly occurred at the Angels Strip Club in Flushing, New York - where the singer’s husband Offset was performing.
While the full details of the incident are not clear, TMZ reported the charges are related to an altercation that occurred after Cardi B reportedly ordered an attack on two bartenders.
Joe Tacopina, the lawyer for the bartenders, called the attacks “vicious” and told People: “Cardi B ordered and committed violent assaults against my clients, and is being called to justice for her crimes. Apparently, she thinks her celebrity status puts her above the law, since she has bragged to multiple people and on social media that she orchestrated these vicious attacks.”
Cardi B has since been released from the 109th Precinct after she was fingerprinted and had her mugshot taken.
She will appear in court on October 29.
The rapper previously found herself embroiled in controversy after allegedly attacking fellow rapper Nicki Minaj during a New York Fashion Week party last month.
