(CNN) Cardi B could face jail time if she doesn't show up to a court hearing on Friday. 
 
 The warning comes after the rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, failed to appear in arraignment court Monday for her alleged involvement in a fight at a Flushing, New York strip club in August. 
 
 A spokesperson for the Queens District Attorney's Office told CNN that "no formal motion" was made to issue a bench warrant for Cardi B's arrest, but a warrant could be issued if she does not show up to court later this week. 
 
 Cardi B's attorney, Jeff Kern, told the judge his client had a previously scheduled commitment on Monday, according to Variety

 Cardi B chose twerking over her court date. 
 
 The 26-year-old rapper appeared to be shooting a new music video in Miami on Monday instead of making an appearance in New York criminal court to face charges of assault and reckless endangerment over a fight that took place at Angels Strip Club in Flushing on August 29. There, Cardi allegedly ordered her crew to attack bartending sisters Baddie Gi and Jade because she thought they’d slept with her husband, rapper Offset. 
 
 Instead, in a series of paparazzi photos, the “I Like It” singer can be seen frolicking in the surf with her friends while covered in body paint made to make her look like a tiger, dancing on a pole set up along the shore and pouring champagne on the butts of a number of twerking dancers aboard a huge yacht. 
 
 The judge of Cardi’s case warned the pop star, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, that she risked arrest if she did not show up on Monday, but subsequently offered a new appearance date of Dec. 7. 
 
 Her lawyer Jeff Kern informed the judge, “As you probably know she is a fairly notable hip-hop artist. My client knew the date but there was a previously scheduled commitment for today and tomorrow.” 
 
 And a commitment involving this much body paint is one not easily broken. ||||| FILE - In this Oct. 9, 2018, file photo, Offset, left, and Cardi B arrive at the American Music Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cardi B is no longer feeling the love after little more than a year of marriage to fellow rapper Offset. 
 
 She posted a video on Instagram saying that "things just haven't been working out between us for a long time." The 26-year-old says "I guess we just grew out of love, but we're not together anymore." 
 
 Cardi B says "it might take time to get a divorce." 
 
 Offset responded "Y'all won." 
 
 The couple got married in September 2017 and welcomed a baby girl in July. 
 
 Cardi B says she and her baby's father are really good friends and business partners. 
 
 An email seeking comment was sent to her representatives. 
 
 Cardi B is scheduled to appear in court Friday over allegations stemming from an altercation at a New York City bar.
– Cardi B is no longer feeling the love after little more than a year of marriage to fellow rapper Offset. She posted a video on Instagram saying that "we gotta lot of love for each other, but things just haven't been working out between us for a long time." The 26-year-old adds, "I guess we grew out of love, but we're not together anymore," though they're good friends and business partners. Cardi B says "it might take time to get a divorce." Her video has been viewed more than 6 million times. Offset responded, "Y'all won," reports the AP. The couple got married in September 2017 and welcomed a baby girl in July. Cardi B is scheduled to appear in court Friday over allegations stemming from an altercation at a New York City bar. CNN reports she risks jail time if she doesn't show, after she skipped out on a Monday court appearance. Her attorney told the judge she was at a previously scheduled commitment. How Page Six reported on said commitment: "Cardi B dressed up like a tiger instead of going to court." It has a photo of her as said creature, apparently filming a music video in Miami.
