Cardi B gains a victory order compelling YouTuber, Tasha K to remove defamatory videos about Cardi B.

Popular rapper, Cardi B has won an injunction forcing a YouTuber, Tasha K to delete and never repost defamatory videos about her.

It succeeds a few months after the Cardi B won a £2m lawsuit against Latasha Kebe, popularly recognized online as Tasha K.

A court document that surfaced shows a judge has now ordered Kebe to take down over twenty videos.

Cardi B suffered a “malicious campaign” of untrue accusations by Kebe.

The offender, Kebe hosts gossip site UnWineWithTashaK which has up to a million subscribers.

During the prosecution, lawyers for the rapper, whose actual name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, said Kebe had started “a campaign to damage and destroy [Cardi B’s] reputation among her fans and the consuming public”.

The gossip host has to delete 21 videos in the next five days from her YouTube and social media channels.

In the initial case, Cardi B’s lawyers said Kebe started making degrading and harassing statements in early 2018 and proceeded to do so, at one point falsely alleging the star had specialized as a prostitute.

A magistrate has presently disallowed Kebe from giving rise to certain assertions about Cardi B’s sexual health and private life.

The judge stated that both sides had subscribed to the terms of the permanent injunction.

Cardi B’s attorneys said the comments and videos on Kebe’s channel inflicted the rapper “embarrassment, humiliation, mental anguish, and emotional distress”.

Following a case in January, a jury in Georgia sided with Cardi B, gripping Kebe accountable for defamation, false light, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

In total, the gossip was ordered to pay Cardi B just over £3m in damages and legal fees.

Kebe is presently soliciting the original sentence, and if the appeals court topples that decision, this injunction would also be rescinded.
