Cardi B has won a $1.25 million defamation lawsuit against YouTuber LaTasha Kebe — better known as Tasha K — over the gossip maven’s accusations against the rapper.
However today was another day in court and the jurors tacked on $1.5 million more in punitive damages and ordered the blogger to repay the star’s $1.3 million legal bill.
They claimed Tasha K started making “degrading and harassing statements” in early 2018 and continued to do so, at one point falsely claiming the star had worked as a prostitute.
Following a two-week trial in Atlanta that featured testimony from both women, the jury returned a verdict that Latasha Kebe was liable for defamation and two other forms of wrongdoing over her YouTube videos and other internet posts.
Cardi filed her lawsuit in 2019, accusing Kebe of attempting to defame her with dozens of YouTube videos where she made salacious allegations, including that Cardi has herpes.
