Cardi B shoots wild music video in Miami while she's due in NYC criminal court

Cardi B was seriously hard at twerk on Monday while she was due in court in New York. 

The rapper was snapped filming a music video over a thousand miles away in Miami, where she writhed around in tiger body paint to capture some wet and wild scenes for new single, Twerk. 

However, Cardi’s hard day’s graft with collaborators the City Girls could be costly after she was allegedly slapped with a serious court warning for not showing up to her assault hearing that day.

Pictures now show Cardi grinning enthusiastically on the coast of Miami as she set to work on a stripper pole, which seemed to have been erected on a sand bank in the middle of the sea especially for the video shoot. 

The rapper, who gave birth to her first child only five months ago, looked beyond confident in an orange bikini, which was cleverly disguised by her black tiger stripes. 

Her bum had been painted with the face of a tiger, with eyes on her back and whiskers on her cheeks.

She was there to work with the City Girls, who conversely dressed as zebras, which could explain why the musician’s defence team were apparently ‘struggling’ to get a hold of her directly on Monday. 

According to TMZ, Cardi was due to appear in criminal court the same day, faced with charges of assault and reckless endangerment in connection with a fight at a strip club in August
