US rapper Cardi B has been given a summons for reckless endangerment and assault in connection with a melee at a New York strip club.
The platinum-selling artist was charged after agreeing to meet investigators at a Queens police station.
Afterwards she left with a smile on her face, but declined to comment, although her lawyer Jeff Kern spoke to reporters.
"We are aware of no evidence that she caused anybody any harm from that night," Kern said.
"We expect the matter to be resolved expeditiously."

Police say Cardi B and her entourage were at the club at around 3am on Saturday when she got into an argument with a 23-year-old woman who was bartending.
They say a fight broke out during which chairs, bottles and hookah water pipes were thrown, slightly injuring the bartender and another employee.
Police said the rapper and about nine other people in her party fled, but she later agreed to turn herself in after being identified by the bartender.
Investigators are exploring whether the fracas involved a romantic dispute.
The incident occurred about three weeks after Cardi B and Nicki Minaj were involved in an altercation that got physical at a New York Fashion Week party and left Cardi B with a mark on her head.
