Cardi B has reportedly been indicted on new felony charges in connection with a brawl at a New York City strip club last year.

The indictment filed in state court on Friday charges the rapper – real name Belcalis Almanzar – with two counts of felony attempted assault and various lesser charges, according to AP.

Prosecutors said she’s to appear at an arraignment next week in Queens.

The Independent has contacted Cardi B’s lawyer for more information.

Police say the Grammy-winning rapper and her entourage were at the club when she allegedly argued with a bartender.

They allege that a fight broke out in which chairs, bottles and hookah pipes were thrown, causing minor injuries to the woman and another employee.

Cardi B rejected a plea deal earlier this year.

The next hearing in the case is scheduled for 25 June in Queens Criminal Court, Reuters reported citing court records.
