Cardi B paid reference to her ongoing going court case as she shared racy Instagram snaps of herself naked and handcuffed to promote her new song Press.

The rapper, 28, uploaded the risqué pH๏τos just hours before she rejected a plea deal at Queens Criminal Court in New York City on Friday.

Cardi faces misdemeanour reckless endangerment and ᴀssault charges in connection with a melee at a Queens strip club last year.

In the censored ɴuᴅᴇ pH๏τo, Cardi left little to the imagination as she flaunted her surgically-enhanced figure while walking out of a building handcuffed, to the glare of dozens of cameras.

The lower black bar had ‘PRESS’ written across it in white capital letters. Cardi shared a snippet of the song along with the pH๏τo for her 45 million followers on Instagram.

‘Press, press, press, press, Cardi don’t need more press,’ she rapped, referencing the misdemeanor charge she faces.

Sisters Baddie Gi and Jade, who work as bartenders at the strip club, have launched the court case against Cardi and claim the rapper ordered an attack on the women because she believed one of them had an affair with her husband Offset.

The sisters alleged a member of Cardi B’s entourage threw bottles, chairs, and hookahs in the club at them.

The singer was allegedly caught on camera tossing an ice bucket at the women. The songstress surrendered to police in October.

Cardi B’s court appearance came just a day after the rapper made another Instagram Live to defend her cosmetic work.

‘I do whatever the f*** I want to do with my body, I don’t have the time of day like you do,’ she ranted.

‘My job as an entertainer is a 24-hour job, bro. So no, I don’t have time to work out. I wanted specific things that I know that no matter how much I work out won’t get fixed.’

Cardi went on to explain that the recent surgery on her breasts is her doctor’s main concern, and revealed that some of her sтιтches are yet to heal.

Her doctor warned her she needs to take time off like he told her to. ‘My breasts gotta f**kin heal,’ she added.

Cardi continued her video leaving her fans in no doubt that cash is her main motivation.

‘I hate cancelling shows because I love money. I’m a money addict. I get paid a lot of money, a lot of money for these shows. A lot of money. I’m cancelling millions of dollars in shows, but health is wealth so I have to do what I have to do,’ she said.

Before signing off the Bodak Yellow hitmaker finally apologized to fans for the canceled shows and saying that she will have an announcement later on Thursday.

When the announcement was made earlier this month Cardi’s rep said in a statement to People: ‘Cardi was overzealous in getting back to work, she didn’t take the time necessary to fully recover from her surgery.

‘Her strenuous schedule has taken a toll on her body and she has been given strict doctor’s orders to pull out of the rest of her performances in May’.

Cardi was scheduled to perform at El Paso County Coliseum in Texas and also backed out of a Memorial Day Weekend concert in Maryland.

The mother-of-one is reported to have got breast augmentation and liposuction after giving birth to daughter Kulture last year.

‘I just got my boobs redone,’ the singer, who welcomed 10-month-old daughter Kulture with husband Offset last year, told Entertainment Tonight.

‘I feel good, but then sometimes I feel like not, you know? [When] your skin is stretched out.’

Cardi has been married since 2017 to rapper Offset, real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus.

The Bronx rapper’s debut solo album Invasion Of Privacy in February won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album.
