A chastened Cardi B was back in court Tuesday, pleading not guilty to felony assault charges following a wild brawl last year at a Queens strip club where she allegedly roughed up two bartenders.
The “Money” rapper, 26, nervously fidgeted with her hair while appearing in Queens Supreme Court on Tuesday to face two felony charges of attempted assault plus additional misdemeanor charges.
“Not guilty, sir, honor,” the Bronx performer — real name Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar — told Queens Supreme Court Justice Joseph Zayas while clasping her hands behind her back and swaying on her heels.
The rap royal’s lawyer defended her to a scrum of waiting press and fans outside the courthouse, calling her “a kind human being.”
“I know Cardi on a personal level, I know Cardi as a wife, as a mother, as a daughter, as a sister,” attorney Drew Finley said.
“It’ll ultimately be a positive outcome in favor of Cardi,” he said.
“We love you girl! Stay strong,” fans shouted as she was escorted into the building at 3 p.m. by burly security guards while wearing a navy double-breasted pantsuit with pink lapels and a matching hot pink Birkin bag.
The charges stem from a wild brawl at a Queens strip club where she allegedly hurled a hookah and bottles of champagne at bartender sisters Rachel Wattley, 21, and Sarah Wattley, 23, at Angels strip club in Flushing in August 2018.
She’s also accused of siccing members of her crew on the women because she believed they had sex with her husband, Offset.
