IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Rapper Cardi B, center right, arrives at Queens County Criminal Court, Friday in New York.
Investigators were exploring whether the fracas involved a romantic dispute.
Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, said recently on Instagram that things weren’t working out between her and fellow rapper Offset, though they’re still good friends and business partners. The couple got married in September 2017 and welcomed a baby girl in July.
The strip club incident occurred about three weeks after Cardi B and Nicki Minaj were involved in an altercation that got physical at a New York Fashion Week party.
Video that circulated on social media showed Cardi B lunging toward someone and being held back at the Harper’s Bazaar Icons party. Another video showed Cardi B being escorted out of the event by security.
