After a jury ordered YouTube blogger Tasha K to pay $1.25 million on Monday to Cardi B in a defamation lawsuit for posting false rumors, $1.5 million more in punitive damages was added Tuesday. Plus, Tasha was ordered to pay the “I Like it” rapper’s $1.3 million legal bill, according to Billboard.
Tasha K, born Latasha Kebe, now owes more than $4 million to Cardi. On Tuesday, she was ordered to pay $1 million in punitive damages, while her company Kebe Studios LLC must pay another $500,000.
As previously reported, on Monday a jury sided with the Grammy winner, who accused Tasha K of making false claims that Cardi was a prostitute, had contracted herpes, used drugs, and performed a sex act with a beer bottle, among other accusations.
