Cardi B handed herself over to the police on Monday after two female bartenders were injured during a brawl at a New York strip club.
The American star, real name Belcalis Almánzar, wore a white blouse and cream skirt as she left her hotel ahead of an appearance at a local station house.
Cardi, 25, has been accused of ordering an attack against the employees at Angels Strip Club in Queens after claiming one of the girls had slept with her husband, rapper Offset.

TMZ claim she was watching Offset perform at the club with rap trio Migos when she confronted the barmaids, sisters named as Jade and Baddie Gi.
The rapper, who grew up in New York’s tough South Bronx, reportedly ‘ordered’ her group to attack the two girls with bottles and chairs, resulting in both needing medical attention.
Sources have since told the website that the incident was prompted by drink being spilled on Cardi, whose actions have been described as ‘spontaneous and completely unpremeditated.’
The star will reportedly be charged with reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct when she turns herself in – although she will not be arrested. A court summons will follow in due course.

The bartenders say Cardi had previously ‘threatened them with physical harm’ back in June when she ran into the sisters in an Atlanta hotel and accused Jade of sleeping with her husband.
Jade claims the Bodak Yellow rapper had since engaged with her in a threatening manner on Instagram.
But things came to a head this week at a NYC strip club, when Jade says Cardi set her entourage onto her.

‘[Five] people associated with Cardi viciously attacked her, grabbing her hair, punching her and hitting her with an ashtray,’ reported TMZ.
The sisters also claim they were pelted with chairs and bottles, with the new mother throwing ‘at least one of the bottles at them during the alleged attack’.
Cardi, who was involved in a separate brawl with Nicki Minaj during New York Fashion Week, recently dismissed claims that she ordered the attack in an explosive Instagram tirade.

‘Them h**s don’t like each other, but since they don’t like Cardi B, they link up. ‘Mad b*tches link up alert!,’ she ranted in a video shared with followers in September.
‘You be wearing I hate Cardi B t-shirts and sh*t. You b*tches be in a mother f**king laboratory building a I Hate Cardi B Transformer,’ she continued.
‘The fact that I have you b*tches so f**king tight making y’all wanna pull out your p*ssy hairs makes my p*ssy mother f**king throb ahahahaha.’
