Rapper Cardi B arrives at New York court in style for court hearing on her felony strip club assault case
Rapper Cardi B looked stunning as she arrived in style at court on Tuesday for a hearing in her felony nightclub assault case.
The 'Bodak Yellow' rapper sported a dramatic black feather hooded coat that featured a long trail. The coat was made up of thousands of black feathers and had been matched with a black and white pantsuit with a black tie. Cardi B is charged with two felony counts of assault for allegedly attacking two bartenders in two separate incidents at the Angel's Strip Club in Flushing, Queens.
The incidents took place last August. According to the prosecutors, the victims are sisters who were targeted as Cardi B, 27, believed that one of them had been having an affair with her husband, Offset. Initially, the mother-of-one had been charged with misdemeanors but after turning down a no-jail plea deal, was slammed with the more serious counts.
Cardi and her co-defendants Tawna Jackson-Morel and Jeffrey Bush are all looking at four years behind bars if they are convicted. The prosecutors have also shared that the 'Drip Drip' rapper had ordered her co-defendants to attack the anonymous victims and it was all pre-planned on social media.
Back in August in 2018, when they had arrived at the strip club, Bush allegedly used his body to prevent anyone from intervening as one of the bartenders was being attacked. He also allegedly filmed the assault. The group then reportedly returned to the strip club later that same month, where Jackson-Morel allegedly threw a drink in the second victim's face.
It has been reported that then she and Cardi B had allegedly hurled bottles and glasses at her. Cardi has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Her court appearance comes a day after the publication of her Vogue cover story where she talks about forgiving Offset being unfaithful.
She had revealed that the couple had sought out advice from priests in order to help them work through their issues. The couple has a one-year-old daughter together, Kulture.
