American rapper Cardi B has won her $1 million defamation case against YouTuber Tasha K over the latter’s accusations against her.
As per media outlet Billboard, the Georgia jury awarded Cardi $1.25 million in damages after two weeks of deliberation, convicting Kebe of invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. When the case returns to court on January 25, the multiplatform gossip blogger may also be held liable for additional punitive damages or Cardi’s legal expenses.
The 29-year-old rapper took Tasha K, a.k.a. LaTasha Kebe, to the court in 2019 over several videos where the latter made wild allegations against the rapper. Kebe claimed that Cardi B used to work as a stripper and f*cked herself with beer bottles. She also said the rapper took hard drugs, contracted herpes, and was unfaithful to her husband, Offset.
