Cardi B has won a libel lawsuit in the United States worth $4 million against Tasha K, a YouTuber, who claimed that the superstar rapper was a “prostitute” with herpes and took drugs.
According to the lawsuit filed in Georgia’s northern district, the 29-year-old rapper sued YouTuber Tasha K in 2019 for spreading “malicious rumors” and “degrading and harassing” statements in 20 videos against the famous musician.
According to court records from Monday and Tuesday, Cardi B was given $2.75 million in total, including punitive damages and medical bills, as well as $1.3 million in legal fees.
The YouTuber, whose real name is Latasha Kebe, claimed that the rapper had oral herpes and that her children would be born with intellectual problems, statements that garnered her millions of YouTube views.
Cardi B “suffered disgrace, humiliation, mental agony, and emotional suffering,” according to the lawsuit.
They also harmed her “reputation and character within her profession and industry, including but not limited to among her followers and with possible commercial relationships,” according to the lawsuit.
Cardi B, a Bronx rapper, rose to popularity with tunes including “Bodak Yellow,” “I Like It,” and “Money.”
Separately, the Grammy winner is facing charges in Queens for a strip club scuffle.
