Cardi B prevailed in her federal defamation lawsuit against a YouTube vblogger who slandered the rapper online in multiple videos on YouTube.
Cardi B, real name Belcalis Almánzar, filed a slander lawsuit against LaTasha Kebe, aka Tasha K, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia in 2019.
Kebe allegedly posted videos to her YouTube channel accusing the rapper of being a prostitute with a drug problem who was spreading herpes.
The videos about Cardi B increased Kebe’s YouTube subscriber list to over 1 million and earn her at least $1 million a year.
After a week-long trial, Kebe was found liable on 3 separate claims, with a verdict of at least $1 million to Cardi, TMZ reports.
Cardi took the witness stand last week and tearfully confessed she was suicidal as a direct result of Tasha’s stories.
The judge presiding over the hearing said any potential punitive damages will be determined in a future hearing.
