Cardi B was awarded $4 million in January after winning her defamation lawsuit against Tasha Kebe; however, the blogger claims she can’t afford to pay the judgment.
“I ain’t got it! Don’t ask me for no money!” Tasha said during an interview captured by The Shade Room. “We have business things in place that take care of things like this,” she added. “Now, of course, the appellate court and the Supreme Court is in process right now…Nah [I’m not trying to pay $4 million], that’s what the appellate court [is] for. Who’s tryna pay $4 million?!”
When the “Money” rapper heard her response, Cardi quoted a Rihanna hit song in letting Tasha know she plans to get paid.
“[T]rust imma come for everything,” the Grammy winner tweeted. “BBHMM.”
RiRi hit triple platinum in 2015 with “BBHMM,” aka “B**** Better Have My Money.” The track was nominated for a Soul Train Award for Song of the Year. The title comes from a scene in the 1988 film I’m Gonna Get You Sucka in which pimp Flyguy, portrayed by Antonio Fargas, humorously said the line, which is sampled in the song.
In the lawsuit, Cardi accused Tasha K of making false claims that she was a prostitute, had contracted herpes, used drugs, and performed a sex act with a beer bottle, among other accusations.
During the trial, the Hustlers star testified that Kebe’s remarks caused her to be “extremely suicidal.” “I thought I would never be heard or vindicated and I felt completely helpless and vulnerable,” Cardi said in a statement.
The 29-year-old entertainer shared that she didn’t want “justice” solely for herself, noting that “the intentional harm that was done to me, is done to countless others every day.”
