A New York Police Department Public Information Officer told People magazine that the "I Like It" rapper surrendered to authorities at the 109 Precinct in Flushing, Queens, just before 10 a.m. She left around 11:45 a.m. after being charged with two misdemeanors, assault and reckless endangerment, and taking a mugshot, according to TMZ.
TMZ reports Cardi B is accused of ordering an attack on two bartenders at Angel's Gentleman's Club in Queens. The two bartenders, sisters named Jade and Baddi Gi, allegedly had been feuding with Cardi B over rumors Jade had a relationship with Migos rapper Offset, her husband and the father of their child.
Cardi B is accused of ordering her entourage to attack the two bartenders with bottles, chairs and a hookah smoking device, according to the celebrity news site. Both women were hurt, but reportedly refused medical attention.
"She continues to threaten them and clearly thinks her celebrity status is going to get her out of this. But it doesn't matter if her name is Cardi B or Carl B... if she commits violent assaults she will be brought to justice," Joe Tacopina, an attorney for the alleged victims, told TMZ.
She's been accused of another fight recently. Cardi B allegedly attempted to attack rival rapper Nick Minaj at a New York Fashion Week event; Cardi B was later pictured with a ripped dress and large bruise over her eye.
Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, first rose to fame while working as a stripper thanks to popular posts on social media. She appeared on the reality TV show "Love & Hip-Hop" as she shifted towards a music career; her debut album, released in April, features two No. 1 hits: "Bodak Yellow" and "I Like It."
People reports Almanazar is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 29.
