American rapper Cardi B has secured another legal victory against gossip blogger and YouTuber LaTasha Kebe, known as Tasha K, after a fresh agreement was filed on Tuesday, June 30, 2026. The deal came in the long-running battle over the rapper's $4 million defamation win from 2022.
New Agreement Reduces Legal Fees
Court papers showed both sides agreed to avoid the expense, delay, and uncertainty of further litigation while settling the latest dispute, as reported by People Magazine. Tasha K was earlier ordered to reimburse Cardi more than $110,000 in legal fees after breaching a non-disparagement clause. The violation occurred when she made remarks about Cardi B's estranged husband Offset and NFL star Stefon Diggs, who is the father of the rapper's youngest child. Under the new agreement, that amount will be cut in half if the blogger makes both payments on time, with Cardi accepting the settlement “in full satisfaction”.
Cardi B Pushed for Sanctions
In April, Cardi B filed a motion asking for “economically painful” sanctions against Tasha K. Her lawyers explained that they had been forced to constantly monitor the blogger's social media, where they discovered more than two dozen “egregious violations” of the non-disparagement clause.
Background of the Defamation Case
Cardi B originally won $4 million in January 2022 after suing Tasha K for defamation and libel. The court first ordered the blogger to pay $1.25 million for invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Days later, Cardi was awarded nearly $3 million in punitive damages and attorneys' fees, bringing the total to $4 million.
Malicious Claims and Dismissed Countersuit
The case began with a March 2019 lawsuit where Cardi B accused Tasha K of spreading “malicious” claims, including allegations that she was a prostitute, used hard drugs, cheated on her husband, and had contracted herpes and HPV. Cardi B testified that the false claims left her “extremely suicidal”. Meanwhile, Tasha K denied wrongdoing and attempted to countersue for assault and emotional distress, saying Cardi B had “publicly trashed” her online and caused threats against her. People magazine reported that the countersuit was dismissed in July 2021.
Impact and Resolution
The fresh agreement brings the years-long dispute closer to resolution, reducing the financial burden on Tasha K if she complies with payment terms. Cardi B continues to enforce the court's orders, aiming to end the legal battle that has spanned several years.
