Judge William Ray ruled on Thursday (Oct. 13) that gossip blogger Tasha K (legally Latasha Kebe) must either immediately pay Cardi B the $4,000,000 million she’s owed from their defamation case. If unable, Kebe is ordered to secure finances covering the full amount, Billboard reports.
Cardi B (real name Belcalis Almánzar) sued Tasha K in 2019 over salacious videos published about the Bronx rapper online. Cardi’s lawyers made claims that Tasha’s intentions were fueled by a “malicious campaign” to damper the “Up” rapper’s reputation. Cardi’s legal reps also warned the Atlanta blogger to remove her videos multiple times, but she didn’t comply.

“This is more than a hypothetical concern in this case,” Cardi’s attorney legal team wrote Friday. “During the litigation, Kebe bragged publicly that she had taken steps to insulate herself from a judgment. And there have been recent online reports that Kebe has moved from Georgia to avoid enforcement of the judgment.”
“Life in Africa is turning out to be exactly what I needed.” she wrote. “A fresh start ! This week I will be releasing my first VLOG of my new life in Africa and showing you all our expanded family.”
