Three days after getting the deadline for her court-ordered community service — assigned to her as part of a plea deal stemming from a 2018 strip club altercation — extended until March 1, the 30-year-old rapper posted a small update on Twitter.
The Queens District Attorney’s Office told Reuters the hearing was a “compliance update.” Furthermore, the judge had asked Cardi B to appear because she had not completed her 15 days of community service as per her plea deal.
The specifics of the musician’s community service will not be made public. Once she completes her community service, her legal team will submit the confirmation of her hours to the court.
Cardi arrived for her court appearance in a white turtleneck dress and a matching fur coat and heels. She tweeted two photos of her entering the courthouse in white shades, writing, “Today I hate everyone, try me tomorrow.”
“Personally and professionally, Cardi is dedicated to community service and charitable endeavors,” her attorney said in a statement to People after she received the extension. “She therefore appreciates the court giving her until March 1 to complete her community service commitment in Queens, New York.”

Actually, the ” WAP” Grammy Award-winning rapper is completing the 15 days of mandatory community service over a 2018 assault at a strip club. Moreover, the incident that took place five years ago stems from a fight she and nine others were involved in. Nonetheless, the “I Like It” rapper would plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges for throwing a bottle at a bartender who worked at a strip club.
What Happened in 2018, what did Cardi B do
The incident took place at the Angels Strip Club in Flushing, New York on August 29. Cardi B was “throwing chairs, bottles and hookahs [smoking pipes] in the club at 3 a.m.,” according to a police spokesman. Two bartenders were assaulted, the spokesman said.
“Part of growing up and maturing is being accountable for your actions,” Cardi B said in a statement. “As a mother, it’s a practice that I am trying to instill in my children. But the example starts with me. I’ve made some bad decisions in my past that I am not afraid to face and own up to. These moments don’t define me and they are not reflective of who I am now. I’m looking forward to moving past this situation with my family and friends and getting back to the things I love the most — the music and my fans.”
