Cardi B wins $1.25m lawsuit against blogger who called her ‘a prostitute’
Cardi B has won a defamation lawsuit against YouTuber LaTasha Kebe over her ‘herps and prostitution’ accusations against the rapper.
Cardi B sued the blogger for defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress over false claims that she had herpes, used cocaine and worked as a prostitute.
In a report by Billboard, a Georgia jury awarded Cardi $1.25 million in damages after two weeks of deliberation and also convicted the YouTuber of invasion of privacy through portrayal in a false light.
The 29-year-old rapper dragged Kebe to court in 2019 over dozens of videos of wild allegations that the rapper “f–ked herself with beer bottles” onstage when she was working as a stripper.
The celebrity news blogger who has over a million subscribers on YouTube also claimed that Cardi had prostituted herself, was addicted to hard drugs, was unfaithful to her husband Offset, and had contracted herpes.
