Cardi B faces strife over strip club brawl

RAP superstar Cardi B turned herself in to police on Monday morning in connection with an attack on two bartenders at a New York strip club, sources said.

The rapper wearing a khaki-coloured pencil skirt and sheer white blouse, was flanked by bodyguards and shielded with two black umbrellas as she surrendered to a Queens police station just after 9.30am (11.30pm AEST), reports the New York Post.

She didn’t answer questions.

The bartenders — sisters Jade and Baddie Gi — allege they were attacked on August 29 while working at strip club Angels because of allegations they had sex with Cardi B’s husband, Offset.

The sisters claim someone from Cardi B’s crew threw bottles and chairs at them, causing bodily harm.

They’re now suing the Bronx-born star for damages.

Sources close to Cardi B told the New York Post that she is going to police to clear her name.

“Cardi is heading down to the precinct to claim her name and innocence,” a source told the New York Post.

She’ll likely be charged with reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct, and given a summons for a court appearance, sources said.

It’s just the latest in a string of incidents for the New Yorker.

At a New York Fashion Week event last month, Cardi B — born Belcalis Almanzar — was involved in a “major scuffle” with fellow rapper, Nicki Minaj. 

The pair, decked in evening gowns, were walking off the red carpet when they crossed paths and things came to blows, according to the New York Post.

Some partygoers at the soiree captured the fight on camera and posted it to social media.

It’s unclear what caused the dust up, but Cardi B took to Instagram afterwards and posted a video saying Minaj had criticised her parenting skills.

Cardi B and Offset from Migos welcomed their daughter Kulture in July.

Last year both Cardi B and Minaj featured on the song MotorSport alongside Migos.

Minaj addressed their feud in a recent interview with UK radio host Zane Lowe, saying, “I have never seen her show me any genuine love during an interview. I just see how many girls wish they had been on a song with Nicki Minaj.”
