Cardi B commissioned an assault against a woman she thought was sleeping with her husband, Offset, planning the wild 2018 Queens strip club brawl on social media and discussing paying two people for the job, new court documents allege.
The Bronx-born rapper and co-defendants Tawana Jackson-Morel and Jeffrey Bush used social media to coordinate the time, day and location of the brawl — with Jackson-Morel and the “I Like It” star also discussing money being exchanged for the beat down, according to the Queens grand jury indictment.
According to the Queens District Attorney’s office, Cardi’s cronies ordered a drink from Rachel Wattley shortly after 3 a.m. on Aug. 15 before Jackson-Morel grabbed the woman’s hair and slammed her head into the bar and punched her while Bush recorded the attack.
The rapper returned with the duo on Aug. 27 when they turned their ire to older sister Sarah. Jackson-Morel allegedly threw a cocktail into her face while the rapper and Bush also hurled bottles of booze at her, the indictment alleges.
Acting Queens District Attorney John Ryan called the attacks “premeditated.”
“The victims allegedly had glass bottles hurled at them, alcoholic drinks thrown in their faces and one woman’s head was slammed into the bar,” he said in a statement Tuesday.
“This kind of violence won’t be tolerated in our community. The defendants will be held accountable for their alleged actions.”
The trio were ultimately charged in a 12-count indictment including attempted assault, harassment, conspiracy and criminal solicitation.Cardi pleaded not guilty to the charges.
