Cardi B Awarded Nearly £1 Million in Damages after Winning Defamation Case against YouTuber Tasha K
Cardi B has been awarded nearly £1 million in damages after winning a defamation lawsuit against a popular YouTuber.
The rapper, known for hits such as WAP, Bodak Yellow and I Like It, was subjected to a “malicious campaign” of false accusations by Latasha Kebe, better known online as Tasha K.
The host of the YouTube channel UnWineWithTashaK, which has 1 million subscribers, was found to have published “slanderous and defamatory statements” about Cardi B.
A jury found Kebe was liable for defamation, invasion of privacy, and causing emotional distress.
She was ordered to pay a total of £927,437.50 in damages.
Cardi B has not commented on winning her case as of yet, but she did post a picture appearing to show her late grandmother.
It included the caption: “My queen thank you for hearing my prayers… only you know those nights that I cried to you feeling hopeless and tired, even when it seems like I have the world on my hands.”
