In a statement, the emcee wrote, “Part of growing up and maturing is being accountable for your actions. 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.”
According to reports, one of the occurrences took place at Angels Strip Club in Queens, New York, in August 2018. Two bartenders at the club claimed that the rapper demanded her associates attack them with bottles and chairs, according to previous reports. In June 2019 after a grand jury indictment, the “finesse” rapper pleaded not guilty to two felony charges for attempted assault with intent to cause serious physical injury. At that time, she also pleaded not guilty to several misdemeanor charges including reckless endangerment and violations which included harassment. In December 2019, court officials met to discuss whether social media posts had specified if the attack was premeditated, but Instagram and Facebook denied subpoenas for the content in question.
After the two misdemeanors, and 10 charges against the rapper were dismissed. Media Music News has reached out to Cardi B’s lawyers, Drew Findling, for additional information.
