According to a Billboard report, On January 24, a federal jury found in favour of Cardi B in her claims that YouTuber Tasha K waged a malicious campaign against the pop star and her reputation. Tasha K was found to have defamed the rapper and will be forced to pay over $1 million in damages. The jury heard both different points of view during the two-week trial, which included testimony from both women. Among many rumours that the YouTuber spread, she claimed that Cardi B had herpes at one point. The following are the specific details of the case.
Cardi B vs. Tasha K legal battle is explained:
Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, sued Latasha Kebe in 2019 over a series of videos in which she made shocking and disturbing claims about the American rapper. One video included a statement about Cardi B’s past life, while others contained numerous disturbing claims about the rapper, according to the lawsuit. According to the YouTuber, the rapper had also cheated on her husband.
The case’s trial began on January 10 in federal court in Georgia. Both women were given the opportunity to testify and take the stand during the trial. Cardi B admitted to feeling suicidal as a result of Kebe’s videos, adding that only a “evil person” could do such a thing. After her attorneys began to investigate the case, the YouTuber initially admitted to posting the lies, but later tried to back out of her statement. Cardi B was awarded $1.25 million in damages in the verdict. However, this figure could rise as court proceedings begin on January 25, 2022, to determine whether the YouTuber will also be responsible for the rapper’s legal fees.
