Cardi B went to court-ordered community service in style on Friday after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of a 2018 strip club brawl in September.
The 30-year-old rapper appeared in court last month after failing to complete a 15-day community service sentence as part of her plea, but a judge later extended the time limit to March 1.
“My brain is on fire from waking up early, community service, then studio… but I committed the crime, ‘It’s my own fault,'” tweeted Cardi, who snapped a mirror selfie just before leaving for duty.
The WAP hitmaker was decked out in designer goods, including a cropped $2850 beige bomber jacket over a black shirt and tan heeled boots.
She carried a Balenciaga Yellow Tape hourglass bag that can cost as much as $3,000.

The fashionista slipped her legs into white sweatpants and rocked long silver nails.
Cardi let her silky brunette hair flow out from under a black Chanel beanie as she snapped a selfie in front of a floor-length mirror.
At her feet were rows of other expensive shoes, while unopened clothing boxes, candles, and jewelry were displayed on and around the coffee table behind her.
Cardi began her community service involvement shortly after her January 17 appearance in Queens Criminal Court, where she received an extension on March 1.
On January 20, she revealed on Twitter that she was already on her “second day” and urged her followers to “obey the law.”
On Wednesday, the mother-of-two also sported a full head of hair, makeup and a designer outfit in a similar post.
The Bodak Yellow hitmaker solved the August 2018 battery case last September by pleading guilty to two misdemeanor counts while dismissing ten other charges, including two felonies.
Two co-defendants also pleaded guilty.

According to prosecutors, Cardi B and her entourage targeted employees at the Angels strip club in Flushing, Queens, over an apparent personal dispute.
She reportedly told eight people, including Tawana Jackson-Morel and Jeffrey Bush, to attack sisters Baddie Gi and Jade.
In 2019, Cardi B turned down a plea deal that would have gotten her a parole. Prosecutors then referred the case to a grand jury and obtained an indictment containing the two felony charges.
During the sentencing hearing, prosecutors described the melee as follows: “The victims were allegedly pelted with glass bottles, alcoholic beverages were thrown in their faces and a woman’s head was smashed against the bar.”
After receiving her light sentence for the September incident, the rapper headed to Little Italy in Manhattan, where she celebrated the decision.
As she left the court, Cardi told reporters, “I feel like I look: good.”
The plea deal also stipulated that Cardi would provide the court with a DNA sample and ban her from contacting the victims in the case for three years.
Her statement after the sentence read in full: “As a mother, I try to teach my children this practice, but the example starts with me.

“I’ve made some bad decisions in my past that I’m not afraid to face and admit. Those moments don’t define me and they don’t reflect who I am now.”
“I’m looking forward to getting through this situation with my family and friends and getting back to what I love most – the music and my fans.”
In a brief statement, her attorney, Drew Findling, told DailyMail.com: “Personally and professionally, Cardi is involved in charitable causes and charitable causes. She therefore appreciates that the court has given her until March 1 to complete her community service in Queens, New York.”
Cardi has been busy for the past few weeks as she took the Grammy Awards season by storm by landing on the star-studded red carpet and presenting the award for Best Rap Album.
She also attended a glamorous pre-GRAMMY gala with her husband Offset, where they put on a steamy show for photographers, and celebrated Valentine’s Day together.
She and the Migos rapper, 31, have been married since 2017 and share two children: daughter Kulture, four, and son Wave, one.
Cardi gave fans a glimpse of her lavish Valentine’s Day celebration in snaps shared to Instagram. Pulling out all the stops, Offset treated Cardi to an extravagant display of heart-shaped foil balloons, an abundance of flowers at her sprawling Georgia estate, and a giant bear mold made out of roses.
