Breaking News: Cardi B Faces Indictment by Grand Jury on 14 Charges for Infamous Strip Club Brawl
Cardi B, the popular rapper, has found herself in legal trouble as she has been indicted by a Queens grand jury over a strip club brawl that occurred last August. The incident involved Cardi B allegedly ordering an assault on two bartenders, Jade and Baddie G, at Angel’s Strip Club. The alleged motive behind the attack was Cardi’s belief that Jade had slept with her husband, Offset. The violent incident reportedly involved Cardi throwing chairs, bottles, and even an ice bucket at the bartenders, resulting in injuries to both individuals. The entire altercation occurred in the early hours of the morning, around 3 a.m.
Initially, Cardi B was charged with two misdemeanor counts of assault and reckless endangerment. However, after turning down a plea deal in April, she now faces a total of 14 charges, including two felony counts of attempted assault with intent to cause serious physical injury. Some of the other charges against her include criminal solicitation, conspiracy, and harassment related to her involvement in the brawl.
The specific details of the indictment against Cardi B will not be revealed until her arraignment in a Queens courtroom, which is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. This development has stirred up significant media attention and speculation surrounding the legal proceedings and potential outcomes.
Despite the serious legal issues she is facing, Cardi B has not let the legal drama impact her public appearances. In December, she was seen at court facing assault and reckless endangerment charges, right after receiving five Grammy nominations. The judge granted orders of protection for the alleged victims, issuing strict guidelines for Cardi, including no contact whatsoever with either of the bartenders involved in the incident.
In April, Cardi reportedly rejected a plea deal that would have required her to plead guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge in the third degree. The terms of the deal indicated that once certain conditions were met, the case would be dismissed, and she would not have to serve any jail time. While the legal process plays out, Cardi continues to make public appearances and recently attended the ASCAP Rhythm and Soul Music Awards in California, where she received an award for songwriter of the year.
During her acceptance speech at the awards ceremony, Cardi expressed gratitude and reflected on her journey to success, emphasizing the hard work she has put into her career. Despite the ongoing legal challenges, Cardi remains determined to focus on her music and public image. The unfolding legal proceedings against her will undoubtedly continue to attract attention and scrutiny from both fans and critics alike.
