Two years after Cardi B sued YouTube persona Tashak Okay (Latasha Kebe) for defamation of character, the case has come to an finish and Cardi B simply obtained rather a lot richer.
Billboard is reporting that on Monday (January 24), a federal jury sided with the Grammy Award-winning rapper and located Tasha Okay accountable for defamation and “two different types of wrongdoing” resulting from her dozens of YouTube movies claiming that Cardi B had herpes and used hardcore medicine amongst different issues. Apart from the responsible verdict, the jury additionally awarded some financial damages to Cardi to the tune of $1.25 million for the psychological anguish she suffered as a result of wild allegations Tasha would throw on the market.
“Following the decision, Kebe tweeted that she and her attorneys had “fought actually onerous” and thanked her authorized workforce for his or her “lengthy hours and sleepless nights.” She it was “solely up from right here” and would “see y’all in a number of days.” An lawyer for Cardi B declined to remark.”
Cardi B slapped Tasha Okay with the defamation lawsuit in 2019 after Okay posted a bunch of movies claiming that Cardi had herpes, cheated on Offset, was a prostitute, and would get freaky with a bottle whereas stripping on stage. Given Cardi’s historical past as a stripper many would imagine the allegations that Tasha Okay threw on the market and that prompted Cardi a lot stress in her life.
Only a few weeks in the past Cardi testified that Tasha Okay’s allegations made her really feel suicidal and developed migraines, nervousness and weight reduction. It actually didn’t assist that Tasha admitted that she knowingly revealed lies to “generate cash for her enterprise.” Whether or not or not she generated sufficient cash to repay $1.25 million stays to be seen however she might find yourself paying extra as proceedings will proceed right now to “resolve whether or not Kebe owes further punitive damages, or whether or not she should reimburse Cardi B’s authorized bills.”
We really feel like Cardi’s about to bathe Offset with extra presents for no motive aside from being her hubby. Heck, she may give him a suitcase with all of the money she’s going to get from this lawsuit. Fortunate bastard.
