Cardi B appears in court to face charges stemming from Queens bar fight
Fresh off a video shoot in Miami, rapper Cardi B graced Queens Criminal Court on Friday to face charges stemming from a College Point bar fight.
The Bronx-born diva, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, was arraigned on assault, harassment and reckless endangerment charges for allegedly telling almost eight members of her team, including Tawana Jackson-Morel and Jeffrey Bush, to throw alcohol and glass bottles at two bartenders, according to the criminal complaint.
The bartenders who are sisters were accused by Almánzar of having sex with her now-estranged husband Offset. Almánzar announced on Instagram this week that they’re going through a divorce.
Nicolosi requested an “inconsequential” bail amount of $2500 that the judge denied. Almánzar stuck her tongue out — her signature facial expression — when the judge released on her own recognizance.
Queens Criminal Court Judge Scott Dunn gave Almánzar strict instructions about the orders of protections for the two Angel Strip Club bartenders.
Almánzar shook her head in agreement and exited the courthouse into a swarm of camera flashes.
The judge ordered her back in court on Jan. 31.
If convicted, she faces up to a year on Rikers Island.
