Cardi B, born Belcalis Almánzar, was allegedly
involved in an incident at the Angels NYC strip club in the
borough of Queens, according to police spokesman Martin Brown,
who said the investigation was continuing.
Jeff Kern, a representative for the 25-year-old rapper, said she
was not arrested and received a court summons charging
"misdemeanors only."
"We're aware of no evidence that she caused anybody any harm at
the club that night," Kern told reporters on Monday. "We expect
that the matter is going to be resolved expeditiously."
The New York Post reported that police were investigating Cardi
B, who was nominated for two Grammy Awards this year, in
connection with an attack on two bartenders at the club because
of allegations they had sex with Cardi B's husband, Offset of
the Migos rap group.
The bartenders claimed someone from Cardi B's entourage threw
bottles and chairs at them, causing injuries, the newspaper
reported. They have sued the rapper for damages.
The women's attorney, Joseph Tacopina, did not immediately
respond to requests for comment.
Cardi B was seen entering a police precinct shortly after 9:30
a.m. (1330 GMT) on Monday, according to local media. Her
bodyguards shielded her with black umbrellas.
Cardi B and fellow rapper Nicki Minaj made headlines in
September after the two got into a fight that was captured on
video and shared on social media during a New York Fashion Week
party, continuing an ongoing feud.
