Here are three things you need to know.
1. Cardi B was at a strip club when two bartenders were allegedly attacked
The incident happened on Aug. 15 at Angels Strip Club in Queens. According to Vanity Fair, police claimed that two bartenders were attacked with bottles and chairs because one of them was accused of having an affair with Cardi B’s husband, Offset.

2. Lawyer, Joseph Tacopina accused her of planning the attack
Joseph Tacopina who is representing the two bartenders seems to agree that Cardi B didn’t physically get involved in the altercation. But he does accuse her of planning it.

On Oct.1, the rapper turned herself in to the N.Y.P.D. Flushing precinct. She is charged with one count of assault and two counts of reckless endangerment. They are all misdemeanors.
Her lawyer, Jeff Kern, told The Associated Press, “We are aware of no evidence that she caused anybody any harm from that night.” He then said, “We expect the matter to be resolved expeditiously.”
