Cardi B turned up for a court appearance last week in an attempted assault case, staying mum – except for fashion statements – as it proceeds. The Grammy-winning rapper sported a feather-trimmed black coat with a long train and a wide-brimmed black hat to her court date in Queens, where she faces felony charges stemming from an August 2018 fight at a party. The court session centred on her lawyers’ efforts to get access to the alleged victims’ social-media messages. “We believe she’s innocent, and so we’re investigating all aspects,” lawyer Drew Findling said after the court appearance. Cardi B whispered to him and attorney Jeff Kern in court but otherwise didn’t speak. She has pleaded not guilty, and her lawyers have denied she harmed anyone. Police have said Cardi B, 27, and her entourage argued with a bartender at a party. The dispute sparked a bottle-and-shisha-pipe throwing fracas that caused minor injuries to the woman and another employee, according to police.
