Cardi B Faces Charges After Brawl At New York Strip Club
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Rapper Cardi B was released after turning herself in Monday morning for questioning about a fight at a strip club, police said. She was issued a desk appearance ticket and faces charges of reckless endangerment and assault -- both misdemeanor crimes.
The rapper is alleged to have taken part in a melee at Angels Strip Club in Queens in which her and nine members of her entourage allegedly threw bottles, chairs and a hookah pipe in the direction of bartenders inside the club, injuring two of the bartenders.
The fracas broke out over the suspicion that Cardi B's husband was cheating with one of the women.
Police are still investigating. She is due in court on October 29.
