Cardi B has pleaded guilty to two charges stemming from her involvement in a pair of physical altercations at a New York strip club four years ago.Cardi – real name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar – was first charged with misdemeanour assault and reckless endangerment in 2018, after two female bartenders at the Angels club in Queens alleged the rapper has orchestrated and participated in assaults that took place at the club.

Cardi, it was claimed, had ordered her associates to attack the women with bottles and chairs.On Thursday (September 15), Cardi pleaded guilty to both charges as part of a deal, avoiding a criminal trial and potential jail time.

Instead, the rapper has been sentenced to 15 days of community service, and has agreed to abide by three-year protection orders for the two victims.“Part of growing up and maturing is being accountable for your actions,” Cardi said in a statement. “As a mother, it’s a practice that I am trying to instill in my children, but the example starts with me.

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.
