Rapper Cardi B is said to have thrown bottles, drinks and chairs at two women. Because she has now admitted her mistakes, she escapes a process. Instead, she should do community service.
The accused US rapper Cardi B (29) has pleaded guilty to assault and grossly negligent endangerment of third parties and has thus avoided a trial in a New York court.
The musician, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, must now do 15 days of community service, as US media reported on Thursday. According to the indictment, there was a violent argument between the rapper and two barmaids in a strip club in New York in August 2018. Cardi B and her companion are said to have thrown bottles, drinks and chairs at the women. The two alleged victims stated at the time that they had been injured. In 2019, Cardi B initially rejected the allegations. By admitting her guilt, she now avoided a trial that would have threatened her with imprisonment if she was convicted.
Cardi B vows to get better
Taking to Instagram Thursday, Cardi B posted several photos of her court appearance in a tight white dress. She’s made some “bad decisions” in the past, but now she’s more mature and wants to act “responsibly,” the rapper said in a statement, according to TMZ.com. As a mother, she also tries to instill these values in her children.
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz welcomed the guilty plea. “No one is above the law,” Katz wrote on Twitter. Almanzar and her two co-defendants have now taken responsibility for their crimes and have received “appropriate” credit from their social services.
Cardi B has been married to rapper Offset since 2017 and they have two children together. The musician has three more children from previous relationships. (dpa)
