It looks like Cardi B is enjoying her time in community service, despite her initial reluctance.

"Community service has been the best thing that has happened to me," the rapper wrote on Twitter.

"Almost like a spiritual journey because sometimes I leave these centers in tears. Those people that we leave behind they just need somebody to talk and a lil push and YOU might be able to change their life forever. [sic]"

According to reports, Cardi B is doing 15 days of community service because of a plea deal she made; it was the case of her 2018 strip club fight in Queens, New York.

The community service hours include some work in a church, high school, and several organizations in and around New York City, TMZ reported.

The 2018 Strip Club Fight

According to People magazine, Cardi B charged into a strip club in Queens called Angel's Strip Club and attacked two bartenders because she was under the assumption that one of them was having an affair with her rapper husband, Offset.

The fight was so intense that she was arrested and charged; she eventually pled guilty to two misdemeanor charges of assault in the third degree and reckless endangerment.

Despite all the ruckus that the 30-year-old rapper has caused, it seems that she was genuinely remorseful of her actions.

In an interview, she reflected on the incident: Part of growing up and maturing is being accountable for your actions. "As a mother, it's a practice that I am trying to instill in my children, but the example starts with me. I've made some bad decisions in my past that I am not afraid to face and own up to.

"These moments don't define me and they are not reflective of who I am now. I'm looking forward to moving past this situation with my family and friends and getting back to the things I love the most - the music and my fans."

Thus, she made sure to make the most out of her community service hours. Prior to coming to serve the hours, she shared a picture of herself all dolled up, looking comfortable and ready.

"My brains are burning from waking up early," she wrote. "Community service then studio. "But I did the crime, I only have myself to blame."
