Cardi B is turning up the legal heat against Youtuber Tasha K, born Latasha Kebe.
The Grammy-winning rapper is demanding that Kebe show up in-person for a deep dive into her finances as part of the pair’s ongoing settlement process, per TMZ.
In 2019, Cardi won a defamation judgment of $3.9 million citing defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress after Kebe made salacious allegations about the rapper’s health and marriage.
The latest demand arrives a year after, Kebe agreed to a payment plan ($1.2M) towards the awarded judgement over a period of five years. The agreement also requires quarterly financial disclosures and prohibits Kebe from making disparaging or defamatory comments about Cardi.
Kebe previously claimed to be bankrupt, with the decision being issued under the Chapter 11 reorganization plan per judge approval.
The Bronx native is now requesting a detailed review of Kebe’s finances including bank statements, earnings from YouTube and other social media platforms, as well as copies of tax returns. The latest push allows Cardi’s defense team to investigate Kebe’s income sources rather than relying on submitted paperwork.
In addition to protecting her finances, Cardi is also protecting her heart. The Grammy winner recently called it quits from Stefon Diggs after he allegedly “betrayed her so many times.”
Cardi allegedly took a dig at Diggs in a scathing concert rant during her Little Miss Drama Tour.
“It’s called the principle. You can’t be out here playing with a bitch like me. There’s n—-s out here praying for a bitch like me. You hear me?” the “WAP” rapper said during her San Francisco tour stop on Feb. 27, per a video shared online.
“I’m too sexy to be lonely and too grown to be played with,” Cardi, born Belcalis Almánzar, added.
Cardi later clarified her viral remarks on X.
“Dear blogs, when I perform a song I always introduce the song with a lil razzle dazzle.. not everything is a shot or personal,” she tweeted.
“I’m actually repeating lyrics from the songs…Relax,” the “Bodak Yellow” emcee added.
