Yesterday (June 25), Cardi B pleaded not guilty to her attempted assault strip club case.
According to a report from TMZ, the judge informed Bardi that she was being charged with attempted assault in the second degree and various other charges. When asked about whether or not she wanted to read all of her charges aloud, Cardi politely declined.
“Not guilty sir, honor,” Cardi said in New York Supreme Court in the borough of Queens.
Last week, Cardi was indicted on 12 charges, which includes two counts of felony attempted assault with intent to cause serious physical injury, misdemeanor reckless endangerment, assault, criminal solicitation, conspiracy and harassment. If Cardi is convicted, she could face up to four years in prison. As per E! News, she is set to find out her next court date after her co-defendants’ hearing in September.
