Cardi B has achieved yet another legal victory against popular YouTuber LaTasha Kebe, widely recognised as Tasha K. Recent court filings reveal that Kebe has agreed to pay $60,000 for breaching a non-disparagement agreement previously established in their ongoing legal battles. This latest agreement was documented on Tuesday, June 30, in an effort to resolve lingering disputes over Kebe’s failure to adhere to the terms set after Cardi’s notable $4 million defamation win in 2022.

The latest terms arise following Kebe’s comments about Cardi’s estranged spouse, Offset, and NFL player Stefon Diggs, who is the father of Cardi’s youngest child. According to legal documents, Kebe’s remarks violated the conditions of the existing agreement, prompting the court to order her to repay over $110,000 in legal fees to Cardi. However, under the new agreement, this amount has been reduced by half, contingent upon Kebe making both payments on time. Should she fulfil these terms, Cardi will consider the matter settled.
The legal saga between the two began complicating postpartum arrangements back in 2019. Cardi lodged a lawsuit claiming Kebe made “malicious” statements that were damaging to her reputation. These accusations included serious allegations ranging from sexual and drug-related misconduct to claims regarding her health. Ultimately, Kebe was found liable for invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress, leading to an initial judgement against her of $1.25 million.
In addition, Cardi received nearly $3 million in punitive damages and legal fees after Kebe was found to have slandered the Grammy-winning artist. These legal battles have proven costly for Kebe, who has been embroiled in ongoing disputes since the initial litigation began. In an effort to create a cycle of payments, Kebe agreed to a bankruptcy settlement that previously delayed her financial obligations, provided she didn’t engage in any disparaging commentary about Cardi or her family.
Cardi’s legal team reports having to frequently monitor Kebe’s online activities for adherence to the non-disparagement clause. They claim to have identified more than two dozen significant violations that warranted the legal actions taken against her. Cardi’s representative has not commented on the case since the recent updates, while attempts to contact Kebe’s camp for a statement remain unanswered.
The ramifications of Kebe’s comments on social media have reportedly caused significant distress to Cardi. During previous court hearings, Cardi disclosed that the ongoing slanderous allegations made her feel “extremely suicidal.” These disclosures highlight the severe emotional toll that Kebe’s actions have had on Cardi’s mental health and well-being.
In her defence, Kebe denied any wrongdoing but sought her own legal recourse against Cardi shortly after the initial lawsuit, claiming defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress from Cardi’s fans due to her criticisms. However, her legal pursuits have met with little success, as the court dismissed her allegations in 2021, leaving Cardi with a resounding victory.
As the legal proceedings continue, it remains to be seen how Kebe will proceed regarding the terms of the recent agreement after her latest breach. Furthermore, the complexities of this case have raised broader discussions about the implications of online defamation and responsible use of social media platforms.
This case serves as a reminder of the impact that public figures’ words can have on others in the digital age, where private disputes can quickly escalate into public scandals. Cardi B’s ongoing legal battles with Tasha K represent not just personal grievances, but also the challenges associated with celebrity culture in an era dominated by rapid information sharing and often-unchecked commentary.
