Rap superstar Cardi B on Tuesday pleaded not guilty to attempted assault charges, including two felonies, filed in connection with her alleged involvement in a New York strip club brawl.

“Not guilty sir; honour,” the 26-year-old artist said before a packed courtroom in Queens, looking swanky in a fitted, low-cut navy blue and baby pink double-breasted pantsuit and razor-sharp straight blue-hued bob.

The brash rapper appeared calm throughout the proceedings, her hands clasped behind her back, showing her hot pink nail extensions to the room.

The arraignment came days after a grand jury indicted Cardi B in connection with the incident, with court documents showing she faces 14 charges.

On August 29, 2018, Cardi B was in the Angels Strip Club in Queens when her group reportedly lobbed bottles, chairs and a hookah pipe, which police said bruised a female employee’s legs.
