Ethan Shanfeld Cardi B was awarded nearly $3 million in punitive damages and attorneys’ fees on Tuesday in her libel lawsuit against celebrity gossip blogger Tasha K.The award comes on top of the $1.25 million that jurors awarded on Monday, after finding Tasha K, whose real name is Latasha Kebe, liable on counts of defamation, invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress.Cardi B sued Kebe in 2019 over several videos uploaded to her YouTube channel that made harmful claims about the rap artist.
Kebe claimed Cardi B contracted herpes, was a prostitute, cheated on her husband, took hard drugs, would give birth to a child with intellectual disabilities and had engaged in lewd acts with beer bottles, among other assertions.
Cardi B’s lawyers said Kebe was “obsessed with slandering” the “Bodak Yellow” rapper and continued posting slanderous content because it got more views than her other posts.
Cardi B’s lawyers added that the rapper was not a prostitute, had never had herpes and had never used cocaine.The federal jury in Georgia awarded $1 million on Monday to cover Cardi B’s pain, suffering and reputational damage, as well as another $250,000 for medical expenses.
