'She always makes up fake stories': Throwback to the time when Cardi B won $1.25 Million in heated defamation battle

The "WAP" Star's Legal Victory: Cardi B's Triumphant Turn in a $1.25 Million Defamation Case!

Remember that intense defamation lawsuit the ‘Bodak Yellow’ sensation, Cardi B, was embroiled in? Oh, it was nothing short of a tabloid sensation. In a recent twist, as reported by The Independent, Cardi emerged victorious, receiving a whopping $1.25 million in damages!

The Dispute That Broke the Internet: An infamous video and the fallout

Blogger Latasha Kebe, popularly known as Tasha K, drew first blood back in 2018. Kebe claimed to have the inside scoop on Cardi B's life before her meteoric rise to fame. In a video aired on Sept. 19, 2018, Kebe alleged that Cardi had a history of prostitution, used cocaine, and was diagnosed with herpes.

"None of the aforementioned statements about Plaintiff are true,” Cardi B's lawsuit fired back, denying these damaging accusations and defending her reputation fiercely. A cease and desist letter was swiftly sent to Kebe. However, far from retracting her statements, Kebe doubled down two days later, accusing Cardi of cheating on her spouse.

A Lawsuit Filled with Surprises Claim, counterclaim, and the courtroom drama

Cardi B initiated the lawsuit against Kebe in March 2019, making it one of the most heated legal battles of the past few years. What added more fuel to the fire was another twist in November 2020, when the lawsuit against another involved party was terminated.

In her counterclaim, Kebe alleged that after airing the contentious video, Cardi B inundated her with angry messages and went on a public rant against her on Instagram, which resulted in threats against Kebe and her family. As per her court filings, this forced Kebe to relocate her family and even reach out to the FBI for assistance.

Kebe further alleged that Cardi B and her entourage engaged in a "pattern of intimidation and harassment" against her, causing significant fear and anxiety. However, U.S. District Judge William Ray dismissed Kebe's claims in July, noting a lack of evidence that Cardi B was the primary cause of any alleged distress.

Victory for Cardi B and Her Fans: The Cardi vs. Tasha K showdown concludes for now

As the dust settles, Cardi B's fans stand by her, and her reputation, though momentarily tainted, emerges stronger than ever.
