Cardi B is currently doing her community service as part of a plea deal stemming from the infamous strip club brawl that she was involved in.
As we previously reported, Cardi resolved the years-long case back in September by pleading guilty. But a judge in the case gave Cardi until March 1 to complete her sentence of community service. While most people would dread doing that, Cardi on the other hand seems to be having a grand ol’ time. In fact, the rap star is also taking this experience as a “spiritual journey.”
Cardi, 30, has been sharing pics of her community service outfits while encouraging fans to “obey the law” and “don’t commit crimes.” In her latest tweet which she posted this Saturday, the “Be Careful” artist shared that “Community service has been the best thing that has happened to me. Almost like a spiritual journey because sometimes I leave these centers in tears. Those people that we leave behind they just need somebody to talk and a lil push and YOU might be able to change their life forever.”
More On The Case
Cardi, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, turned herself in back in 2018 and was charged with multiple misdemeanor counts stemming from an early morning melee at Angels Gentlemen’s Club in Queens in August. Police said she instigated the fight and members of her entourage carried it out. According to the police report, during the fight, chairs, bottles and hookah water pipes were allegedly thrown, injuring two women, including the bartender.
Cardi ultimately managed to avoid jail time after accepting a plea agreement, pleading guilty to two misdemeanor charges. She was originally sentenced to 15 days of community service.
After she was given the sentence, Cardi B released a statement saying, “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.”
She continued: “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.”
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz also said at the time in a statement to USA TODAY:
“No one is above the law,” Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement to USA TODAY. “In pleading guilty today, Ms. Belcalis Almanzar and two co-defendants have accepted responsibility for their actions. This Office is satisfied with the resolution, which includes appropriate community service.”
