In a report by latimes.com, Queens Dist. Atty. Melinda Katz said “no one is above the law. In pleading guilty today, Ms. Belcalis Almánzar and two co-defendants have accepted responsibility for their actions. This Office is satisfied with the resolution, which includes appropriate community service.”

The Queens District Attorney’s office added that Cardi B must complete the 15 days of community service after pleading guilty to third-degree assault and second-degree reckless endangerment.

In a statement, Cardi B also said she had made bad decisions that she was not afraid to own up to. “These moments don’t define me, and they are not reflective of who I am now. Part of growing up and maturing is being accountable for your actions.”
