Cardi B faces jail over bust-up at New York strip club just weeks after Nicki Minaj feud


The Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B has been indicted on new felony charges in connection with a fight last year at a New York City strip club .

The indictment filed in state court on Friday charges Cardi B with two counts of felony attempted assault and various lesser charges.

Prosecutors said she is to appear at an arraignment next week in Queens.

There was no immediate response to a message seeking comment from her lawyer, however she faces potential jail time over the incident if convicted.

Nicki Minaj was involved in a scrap with Cardi B last year

 

Police say Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, and her entourage were at the club when she argued with a bartender.

They say a fight broke out in which chairs, bottles and hookah pipes were thrown, causing minor injuries to the woman and another employee.

Cardi B rejected a plea deal earlier this year.

The fight last year came just weeks after a feud between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj turned violent during a show at New York Fashion Week.

 

The stars came to blows after Cardi approached Nicki and ended up being elbowed in the face.

She reacted by aiming a high-heeled shoe at her rival.

Nicki escaped from the drama unhurt but Cardi suffered a bump above her eye. The injury is understood to have been inflicted by a security guard.
