The mother of two has until March 1st to complete her court-ordered sentence after previously failing to do so and being granted an extension.

If there's one thing you can always count on Cardi B to do, it's turn up. For the past few days, much of the rap diva's time has been spent serving court-ordered community service. She was previously sentenced to 15 days after taking a plea deal. She ultimately failed to meet the requirements earlier this year but thankfully, she was granted an extension by the judge. Now she has until the end of February to finish her sentence.

In her usual style, the Grammy Award winner has been showing up to work in designer duds, documenting many of her outfits for followers on Twitter. In nearly every upload, she's been reminding users to "obey the law," and not make the same mistakes she has. Since it went down in 2018, Cardi has been able to do plenty of reflecting on the infamous strip club brawl that landed her in court.

Bardi's Infamous Strip Club Brawl

As DailyMail reports, the 30-year-old and her crew were accused of targeting Angels Strip Club employees over a personal dispute. Prosecutors say that Cardi asked eight people to visit the Flushing, Queens establishment and assault two sisters, Baddie Gi and Jade. A plea deal was rejected by the New Yorker in 2019. Following that prosecutors presented the case to a grand jury. At that time, they also obtained an indictment with two felony charges.

"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," attorneys alleged while setting the scene. When all was said and done last year, Cardi wound up pleading guilty to two misdemeanour charges. She got off nearly scot-free, as a whopping ten other counts (including the aforementioned two) were dismissed.

Cardi B's Community Service Style

Ahead of the weekend, the "Hot Shit" hitmaker checked in with Twitter to reveal yet another OOTD. "My brains are burning from waking up early," she wrote in the caption. "Community service then studio... But I did the crime, 'I only have myself to blame,'" she added. Fans were obviously pleased to see her look, but what's really creating a buzz is Cardi's confirmation that she's back in the studio.

Fans have been waiting for the follow-up to her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, since 2017. If we're lucky, maybe the fashionista will have her sophomore project on DSPs before the end of the year.
