Cardi B Arrives to Court in Puffy Feather Coat with Long Train

Cardi B knows how to make an entrance … especially at a courthouse where she’s facing multiple criminal charges.

The rapper arrived in Queens Tuesday for a hearing in her strip club beatdown case, and was dressed in a large feather/furry coat with a long train dragging behind her. In other words … fashion gala-ready fab!!!

She appeared to be in good spirits too … she was flashing smiles for fans waiting nearby on the courthouse steps. It was a flashy entrance for a very brief and uneventful hearing where the next court was set for January.

Cardi pled not guilty in June to new charges, including attempted assault in the 2nd degree. Before that, she was indicted on 12 charges, including 2 counts of felony attempted assault with intent to cause serious physical injury.

As we reported … this all came after Cardi rejected a plea deal in the case — she was initially charged with just 2 misdemeanors for allegedly ordering an attack on 2 strip club bartenders who are sisters — Jade and Baddie Gi — back in August 2018.

Cardi’s beef with the women allegedly stems from her belief Jade — who’s now Tekashi 6ix9ine‘s girlfriend — slept with her husband, Offset.

Jade’s been back in the picture recently too — she put Offset on blast for allegedly slipping into her DMs and posted what she believes is video evidence.
