Cardi B Pleads Not Guilty To Charges For Queens Strip Club Feud

FLUSHING, QUEENS — Rapper Cardi B pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges of attempted assault, harassment and other crimes in connection with two attacks at a College Point strip club last year.

A grand jury indicted Cardi B and two companions — Tawana "RemyRojaLaPerla" Jackson-Morel and Jeffrey "AstonMartinChuck" Bush — for two attacks on bartenders at Angels Strip Club in August 2018, prosecutors said.

Bush and four other women at the gentlemen's club grabbed a bartender's hair, slammed her head into the bar and began punching her in an attack on August 15, according to the charges.

Cardi B, Bush and Jackson-Morel returned to the club two weeks later and threw drinks, glass bottles and other objects at a bartender, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors are arguing that the trio coordinated the attacks in a social media chat.

If convicted, Cardi B and her two companions each face up to four years in prison.

The Grammy-winning rapper, whose full name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, initially faced misdemeanor assault and reckless endangerment charges but rejected a plea deal from the Queens District Attorney's office, according to ABC 7.
