Cardi B has secured another legal victory in her years-long battle against blogger Tasha K, after reaching a new court-approved settlement requiring the YouTuber to pay $60,000 for violating a previous non-disparagement agreement.
The latest development comes on top of the multimillion-dollar defamation judgment Tasha K already owes the Grammy-winning rapper, adding another chapter to one of the entertainment industry’s most closely watched legal disputes.
Why Tasha K Must Pay Another $60,000
According to recently filed court documents, Tasha K whose legal name is Latasha Kebe agreed to pay Cardi B $60,000 after allegedly breaching the terms of an earlier settlement agreement.
The violation stemmed from public comments Tasha K made about Cardi B’s estranged husband, Offset, and NFL player Stefon Diggs, despite previously agreeing not to make disparaging statements about Cardi B or those closely associated with her.
Initially, Cardi B sought more than $110,000 to cover the legal costs incurred while enforcing the agreement. However, both parties ultimately reached a settlement reducing the amount to $60,000, provided Tasha K complies with the payment terms.
Payment Schedule Included in the Agreement
Under the new agreement, Tasha K is expected to pay the settlement in two installments.
The first $30,000 payment is due within 28 days of the court order, while the remaining $30,000 must be paid by the end of the year. If she fails to meet those deadlines, Cardi B could seek to recover the original amount of more than $110,000.
The Long-Running Legal Battle
The dispute between Cardi B and Tasha K dates back to 2019, when the rapper filed a defamation lawsuit over a series of YouTube videos containing false claims about her personal life and health.
In 2022, a federal jury ruled in Cardi B’s favor, awarding her nearly $4 million in damages after determining that Tasha K had knowingly published defamatory statements. The court also permanently prohibited the blogger from repeating those claims.
Bankruptcy Didn’t End the Case
After the 2022 verdict, Tasha K filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in an effort to reorganize her finances.
However, the court later ruled that the defamation judgment could not simply be eliminated through bankruptcy proceedings. Earlier this year, the parties reached a repayment plan requiring Tasha K to pay $1.2 million over five years, while Cardi B retained the right to pursue the remaining balance of the judgment under the terms of the agreement. The new $60,000 settlement is separate from that repayment plan.
Another Win for Cardi B
The latest settlement reinforces the court’s earlier orders requiring Tasha K to refrain from making public statements that violate the parties’ agreement.
While the additional payment is relatively small compared with the original defamation award, it underscores the legal consequences of failing to comply with court-approved settlements.
Final Thoughts
The latest agreement marks another legal victory for Cardi B in her ongoing dispute with Tasha K. Although the new settlement resolves the latest enforcement action, it does not erase the larger financial obligations stemming from the original defamation case.
With the long-running legal battle still unfolding, both Cardi B and Tasha K remain under close public scrutiny as the remaining terms of the court’s judgments continue to be enforced.
