Cardi Bhas found herself in hot legal water following a rumble at a New York City strip club back in August.
The “Bodak Yellow”rapper surrendered to police on Monday morningand was subsequently arrested, PEOPLE previously confirmed. She was charged with assault and reckless endangerment and will be arraigned Oct. 29.
According totheNew York TimesandTMZ, the charges stem from an incident that occurred in August, when two bartenders at Angels Strip Club claimed that Cardi ordered an attack on the women because she believed her husband, Migos rapper Offset, had had an affair with one of them.

The feud between Cardi and the pair of bartending sisters apparently dates back several months.According to TMZ, one of the two, a woman named Jade, says that Cardi had been threatening her on Instagram since early summer.
In June, Jade alleges, she and her sister — known as Baddie Gi — met Cardi in person at an Atlanta hotel, where the 25-year-old rapper confronted her with accusations that she’d been sleeping with Offset — her husband and the father of herthen-unborn daughter, Kulture Kiari. Jade, for her part, denied the allegations.

Though both Jade and Baddie Gi say Cardi never directly touched them, multiple sources — including aninterview with an eyewitness onUn-Wine With Tashak— report Cardi stood up on a chair and yelled “I’m Blood — I’ll f—k you bitches up!” (Cardi previously confirmed her affiliation with theBloods gang in aGQprofile earlier this year.)
A rep for the rapper did not immediately return PEOPLE’s request for comment — however, sources close to Cardi previously denied that she was involved in the attack, according toTMZ.
