Cardi Bhas been given an extra month and a half to complete the community service she was given as part of a plea deal stemming from a2018 strip club brawlin Queens, New York.
The “Wap” rapper, 30, was photographed on Tuesday in Queens County Criminal Court, where she was given until March 1 to complete her required 15 days of community service.
“Personally and professionally, Cardi is dedicated to community service and charitable endeavors,” her attorney said in a statement shared with PEOPLE. “She therefore appreciates the court giving her until March 1 to complete her community service commitment in Queens, New York.”
Cardi (real name Belcalis Almánzar) pleaded guilty in September to two misdemeanor charges that came in connection with the 2018 fight. At the time, the star accepted a plea deal that handed her a three-year order of protection from the women involved in the scuffle, plus 15 days of community service.
Her deadline was Tuesday, but she has so far completed zero hours, a spokesperson for the Queens District Attorney confirmed to PEOPLE.

In September, Cardi had 10 charges dismissed, but pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of assault in the third degree and reckless endangerment.
The incident in question took place in August 2018, when the Grammy-winning star allegedly ordered an attack on two female bartenders at Angel’s Strip Club because she believed her husband, the rapper Offset, had had an affair with one of them, according toThe New York TimesandTMZ.
