Tasha K’s Defamatory Words About Cardi B Cost the YouTube Influencer Millions

Tasha K’s journey to digital success has been filled with significant challenges. The content creator’s gossip videos have led to lawsuits from both Kevin Hart and, more notably, Cardi B. 

While Kevin ultimately dropped his lawsuit against her in 2025, Cardi has remained steadfast, insisting that Tasha should be held accountable for the harm she inflicted on her and her family.

The feud between the two has escalated to such an extent that some fans might not even recall how it all began. So, what exactly did Tasha K say about Cardi B that triggered this costly legal battle? Here’s what you need to know. 

Tasha K accused Cardi B of prostitution and contracting an STD in 2018.

Tasha and Cardi, born Belcalis Almánzar, began their court battles after the YouTuber made damaging allegations about the “Money” rapper in a 2018 video that has since been deleted. 

According to XXL, Tasha interviewed a former friend of Cardi’s, who accused her of being a prostitute, abusing drugs, and having herpes. 

The blogger also allegedly made defamatory claims about the Grammy winner, including that she “f—ed herself with beer bottles on f—ing stripper stages.”

Cardi responded to Tasha’s claims by suing her for defamation in 2019. 

The case went to trial in January 2022, allowing the Love & Hip-Hop alum to express how the blogger’s words impacted her, revealing to the court that she felt “suicidal” after seeing the allegations on her social media. 

Cardi recounted receiving negative comments about having herpes after posting a photo of her kissing her daughter, Kulture. 

Following a lengthy legal battle, Cardi emerged victorious against Tasha K. In 2022, the blogger was ordered to pay Cardi $4 million. 

The following year, Billboard reported that Tasha filed for bankruptcy, claiming she had less than $60,000 to her name. 

Cardi retaliated in January 2024 by accusing the content creator of hiding money in an offshore account to evade paying the $4 million.

In February 2025, a bankruptcy judge established a payment plan for Tasha to settle her debt. 

The judge mandated that she pay $1.2 million over the next five years to resolve her bankruptcy case, according to Vibe. 

These monthly payments will take precedence over Tasha’s other bankruptcy obligations, and by the end of the plan, she will have paid $318,653 within 12 months.

Furthermore, Tasha agreed to cease any “derogatory, disparaging, or defamatory” content.
