NEW YORK (Reuters) - Grammy Award-winning rapper&nbsp;Cardi&nbsp;B has until March 1 to complete 15 days of mandatory&nbsp;community&nbsp;service&nbsp;over a 2018 assault at a strip club, a New York City&nbsp;judge&nbsp;ruled on Tuesday.
The Queens District Attorney&rsquo;s Office told Reuters the hearing was a "compliance update" and the&nbsp;judge&nbsp;had asked&nbsp;Cardi&nbsp;B to come in because she had not completed her 15 days of&nbsp;community&nbsp;service&nbsp;as per her plea deal.
The &ldquo;WAP&rdquo; artist arrived at the Queens County Criminal Court wearing a white form-fitting dress and long white coat.
&ldquo;Personally and professionally,&nbsp;Cardi&nbsp;is dedicated to&nbsp;community&nbsp;service&nbsp;and charitable endeavors. She therefore appreciates the court giving her until March 1st to complete her&nbsp;community&nbsp;service&nbsp;commitment in Queens, New York,"&nbsp;Cardi&nbsp;B's attorney said in a statement.
Police said that&nbsp;Cardi&nbsp;B, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, got into an argument with female bartenders at a club. She had accused one of them of having an affair with her husband and fellow rapper, Offset.
The 30-year-old rapper pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor assault charges last year after being accused of starting a fight with two bartenders, claiming she wanted to be a better example for her children.
&ldquo;Part of growing up and maturing is being accountable for your actions,&rdquo; she said after her hearing in September.
