A federal judge has ordered vlogger Tasha K to delete all her social media posts defaming Grammy Award-winning rapper Cardi B.
According to reports, the injunction was ordered in an Atlanta court on Apr. 4, making it mandatory for Tasha to remove the posts within five days. Posts include every video defaming Cardi on her YouTube channel and any other commentary of the same nature on other platforms.
The move was made just a few weeks after the 38-year-old filed an appeal following her claims that she didn’t have $4 million to give to the “Up” rapper in February. Tasha was ordered to pay the large sum in damages for defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress after losing a libel case brought against her by Cardi. In her lawsuit, the rapper accused the gossip queen of “defamation, two other forms of wrongdoing, invasion of privacy through portrayal in a false light, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.”
“Don’t ask me for no money. I ain’t got it,” Tasha said about the money in an interview with media personality Kendra G.
Tasha, whose full name is Latasha Kebe, made 40 videos about Cardi, alleging that the Bronx native’s then-unborn child “may have intellectual disabilities” and that she partook in drug use, among other things. A judge demanded that the vlogger pay her $1.5 million in punitive damages and $1 million for pain and suffering or reputational injury. Tasha was also ordered to pay the rapper $1,338,753.47 in attorney fees and $250,000 in medical expenses.
The 29-year-old rapper testified in court, saying that the YouTuber’s videos made her feel “suicidal” and that “only an evil person could do that shit.”
If the social media personality were to win her appeal, the judge said she could then file to modify the recent injunction, allowing her to repost her videos about Cardi.
Cardi also recently won another defamation case, along with her sister, Hennessy Carolina, that was brought against them by three beachgoers who got into a confrontation with Hennessy in The Hamptons in September 2020.
