The 26-year-old performer, whose real name is
Belcalis Almanzar, surrendered to police in October after being
accused of involvement in the Aug. 15 incident at the Angels NYC
strip club in the borough of Queens.
Jeff Kern, a representative for the rapper, told reporters at
the time of her arrest, "We're aware of no evidence that she
caused anybody any harm at the club that night."
According to the New York Times, Cardi B accused one of two
sisters who tend bar at the club of having an affair with her
husband, Offset, who is part of the rap trio Migos.
Citing police, the newspaper said Cardi B's bodyguards and
members of her entourage attacked the sisters with bottles and
chairs.
Kern and Cardi B's agents did not immediately respond to
Reuters' request for comment.
Joe Tacopina, an attorney representing the two bartenders, did
not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Cardi B, a two-time Grammy award nominee, has topped music
charts in recent years with hits "Bodak Yellow" and "Girls Like
You," a collaboration with Maroon 5.
She has also made headlines for an ongoing feud with rapper
Nicki Minaj, with whom she had a physical altercation during an
event at this year's New York Fashion Week.
Celebrity news website TMZ reported on Friday that Minaj hired
the two bartenders from Angels NYC to perform alongside her in a
music video.
