Cardi B’s Court Drama Gets Rescheduled to Friday
What Went Down at the Judges’ Table
On Monday, Judge Scott Dunn gave Cardi B—yes, the Grammy‑hungry rap superstar—another chance to answer for the alleged altercation that erupted at Queens’ Angels NYC strip club. However, when she didn’t show up for her scheduled hearing, the judge made a clear point: Miss “Bodak Yellow” will face a bench warrant if she slinks off again.
Why the Miss‑out Happened
Cardi’s lawyer, Jeff Kern, advised the judge that the singer had a prior commitment that “stiffened” her schedule. Kern also admitted he rarely chat directly with Cardi; he’s been communicating via her business team. He blamed a communication hiccup for the no‑show and convinced the court that she isn’t a flight risk.
- Cardi was originally slated for a court appearance on Oct 29, but the court let her reschedule.
- She had requested, but the court declined, an earlier adjournment before Monday.
- Cardi was present in an Instagram Story this past Monday, riding an aircraft and soaking in a turquoise ocean—no clues on whereabouts or timing.
The Backstory: Who’s Who in the Queens Incident?
In the alleged incident on Aug 15, Cardi feared that a pair of sisters—who run the bar at Angels—the are secretly dating her husband Offset (of Migos). Police reports say Cardi’s entourage sparked the melee by hurling drinks and chairs at the sisters.
Cardi’s legal representatives, along with attorney Joe Tacopina who represents the bartender duo, did not immediately respond to sources asking for a statement.
What’s Next for Cardi?
With the new Friday date set, the judge’s warning hangs in the balance: Skipping the next arraignment could trigger a bench warrant. Cardi’s fans might be more concerned about her next single than her courtroom fate, but the drama is far from over.
Side Note: The Grammy‑Chasing Beat
Besides the court saga, Cardi has been crushing pop charts with flurries like Bodak Yellow and a cross‑genre smash with Maroon 5, “Girls Like You.” She’s still a two‑time Grammy nominee—so the world’s watching her dance on the courtstep rope.
