Cardi B went to court and admitted organising and participating in two attacks on employees of the Angels nightclub in New York in 2018.
"I've made some bad decisions in my past that I am not afraid to face and own up to," she said in a statement in court.
According to the Police, the incidents started due to a feud between the rapper and two sisters - one of whom she believed was having an affair with her husband Offset.

Prosecutors reported that the rapper and her entourage hit the victim who was a bartender, and pulled her hair and slammed her head into the bar.
Two weeks later, Cardi returned and threw alcohol and a pipe at the victims sister.
Cardi B admitted her charges quietly, and confirmed that she offered a friend £4000 to assist her in the confrontation.

Cardi B was given 15 days community service and ordered to stay away from the victims for three years.
She accepted the plea deal one day before it was due to go to trial, meaning that the case didn't go to trial where she would have received a higher sentence.
As part of her statement, the rapper said: "Part of growing up and maturing is being accountable for your actions. As a mother, it's a practice that I am trying to instil in my children, but the example starts with me."
