Better Have My Money: Judge Orders Tasha K to Pay Total $4 Million Judgment to Cardi B or Secure a Bond for It

Tasha K will not get out of paying the $4 million judgment stemming from her defamation claims against Cardi B.

On Thursday, Judge William M. Ray ordered the popular YouTuber to fork over the entire $4 million to the “Bodak Yellow” star. Judge Ray also shared that he’d consider a hold on the payment only if Tasha could secure a “defendant’s appeal bond,” which is usually offered by private lenders to pay off judgments. The “Wine Down” Youtuber has been trying to stall the payment while she goes through the appeal process. If Tasha loses her appeal, the money will automatically go to Cardi.

The popular YouTuber was sued for defamation by Cardi B in 2019 after falsely claiming the rapper had an STD and was on drugs. Cardi tried reaching out behind the scenes to ask Tasha to remove the blasphemous claims, but she refused. Instead, she continued to make untrue statements about Cardi, who eventually sued Tasha for her actions. In January, a jury found Tasha K liable for defamation, invasion of privacy, and deliberate infliction of emotional distress. She was ordered to pay more than $2.5 million and $1.3 million in legal fees.

Tasha K, whose real name is Tasha Kebe, has tried to evade the payment on several occasions. She has stated numerous times that she does not have the funds to pay the Grammy Award winner and has even fled the country to avoid facing the hefty judgment.

Tasha K nor Cardi B has responded to this latest update in the case.
