Cardi B is not letting up on Tasha K. The rapper says the blogger is avoiding paying her with a bankruptcy filing.
As spotted on TMZ the Bronx, New York native is not taking no for an answer when it comes to her settlement. The “Bodak Yellow” performer sued Tasha K for defamation after the media personality made several videos claiming Cardi had contracted a sexually transmitted disease and other shocking allegations relating to her short stint as an exotic dancer. After a two-week trial the Tasha K was found liable for “defamation, two other forms of wrongdoing, invasion of privacy through portrayal in a false light, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.” As a result she was ordered to pay Cardi B $1.25 million dollars in damages and cover her legal fees.
Since then the popular YouTuber has filed for bankruptcy, claims she is financially tapped out and doesn’t have to means to make good on the debt. Becalis’ legal team aren’t buying her crocodile tears and infer that she could be potentially hiding her assets in offshore accounts. Cardi B’s lawyers came with receipts and point to the Tasha K’s newest apartment rental which costs about $7,000 a month. Also in the court documents are references to her Instagram account where the woman born LaTasha Kebe can be seen sporting designer fabrics and expensive jewelry.

If we know anything about Cardi B it’s that she’s all about getting that bag. But when she revealed her latest endorsement of clothing brand Shein, people reacted with shock and criticism as the “W.A.P.” rapper is known for rocking high-end clothing brands.
As surprising as it was to see Cardi B co-sign a clothing brand that many people wouldn’t admit to wearing just because it’s, well, “cheap,” some people began to roast Cardi for daring to promote affordable coats and jackets, saying she must be strapped for cash if she’s willing to go this route. “Shien?!?! Are you kidding me. That’s embarrassing,” one commenter said. Still, many others came to her defense in the comments section reminding people that Cardi came from the bottom to the top responding with comments like, “She humble she grew up hustling she buys shein and. Nothing wrong with it and she paired it with red bottoms she knows.”
Not one to take any disrespect lying down, Buzzfeed is reporting that Cardi addressed her haters herself by going on X Spaces and reminding everyone she’s still getting plenty of money.
Per Buzzfeed:
“People say that I’m surviving on Shein deals and brand deals,” she began. “Y’all like to talk about tour deals a lot. I want to let y’all know I could wake up tomorrow, sign a contract, and have half of $65 million — or half of $70 million – in my bank.”
Adding that she was offered that much on her “off year,” she continued, “I don’t want to take tour deals until I announce my album. When I announce my new album I know they’re going to up it. You’ve got to move smart like a bitch. You can’t act like you’re hungry, especially when you’re not.”
“I’m not surviving, baby. Spend like about $3 million in a month,” Cardi said, later adding that she’s waiting for an $80 or $100 million deal. “As long as my bills is paid, I can buy whatever the fuck I want whenever the fuck I want. Shit, I can go spend $500,000 on a fucking car tomorrow. I could buy me a $300,000 watch tomorrow. Bitch, I could buy your mother.”
Yeah, don’t try to slander Cardi’s money moves cause she will respond.

Over the past few months Plies did what he could to help get people to the polls and vote for their freedom and future. Now that the election is over the Floridian is getting back to business and taking a few of his Hip-Hop peers to court over copyright infringement.
According to TMZ, Plies has sued the likes of Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla and Cardi B for sampling his song “Me & My Goons” without proper clearance. In the lawsuit Plies states that his 2008 cut was sampled on Megan and GloRilla’s collaboration song “Wanna Be,” which ultimately landed a verse from Cardi B on the remix. For her participation in the hit song, Cardi done got herself wrapped up in the lawsuit as well.
Interestingly enough, Soulja Boy seems to be the first to have taken Plies’ beat and ran with it on his 2010 track “Pretty Boy Swag.” After listening to all of these songs, the man might have a strong case.
Per TMZ:
The suit also names Meg’s Hot Girl Productions, Soulja’s former imprint Collipark Productions, and record labels Universal Music Group, Collective Music Group and Interscope as defendants.
If the suit is successful, the damages could cost everyone plenty of shiny pennies.
We’re not taking any sides on this one, but it looks like Plies might have an open and shut case. Just sayin’.

It’s no secret that Cardi B has been going through the motions lately following the birth of her third child and a very public and messy split from her ex-hubby, Offset.
Still, the Bronx bombshell continued to grind to get that paper, but unfortunately, it seems like Cardi is going through some health issues as she took to Instagram to announce she was forced to cancel an upcoming show due to health concerns. Taking to her page to let fans in on her current situation, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper revealed that she’s been in the “hospital recovering from a medical emergency the last couple of days and I won’t be able to perform at ONE MusicFest.”
Though she didn’t specify exactly what led to her hospitalization or what the emergency was, fans are naturally wishing her a speedy recovery as she gets the medical attention she needs.
Scheduled to go down on Oct. 26 and 27 at Central Park in Atlanta, ONE MusicFest will still feature quite a few other fan favorite artists including the likes of Earth, Wind & Fire, Method Man, Redman, Fantasia, Gunna, and Ari Lennox amongst many others.
In short, attendees are still going to have a blast.
Still, there’s only one Cardi B, and she’ll surely be missed. Get well soon, ma.
While she’ll surely be missed, there will still be a lot of acts we know fans will be more than happy to witness during the event.

It’s been almost a month since Cardi B gave birth to her third child, and she’s since been doing her best to get back into the hourglass shape she’s become known for. But apparently, she’s not taking to kindly to people accusing her of doing so with the use of plastic surgery.
According to Page Six, the Grammy Award-winning rapper clapped back at social media users who are flooding her comments with accusations that she went under the knife to shed her baby weight after she posted some pics of herself in seemingly great post-birth shape. Though she wonders why her face is still chubby, Cardi seems proud of the progress that she’s been making with the weight-loss. When some commenters said that the plastic surgeon messed up her physical degree, she was quick to respond as she’s not the type to take any disrespect laying down.
Per Page Six:
“Y’all really need to relax ..This is how my body REALLY LOOKS LIKE,” she tweeted alongside recent photos of her wearing a nude black dress.
“My body looks exaggerated in the other video cause I have a 5X faja [girdle] on…I want yall to think wit yall brain ..Yall was just praising my body couple days ago …do yall think I went and got surgery in 2 days?”
Another netizen then said Cardi’s “stomach always looks like it’s about to rip apart” and bashed her for “focusing so much on how you look” when she just gave birth to her youngest daughter.
The Grammy winner responded, calling the social media user a “potato.”
“Bitch you literally look like a f–kin potato yet you talking bout my looks wit a passion ….This why I be dragging you bitches by yall draws cause bitch why you got soo much nerves,” she wrote alongside photos of the fan and a russet potato.
That last one reminds us of Cardi’s infamous “Mega Mind” clapback at a hater back in the day. Just another reminder that if you come for Cardi B, then prepare to get roasted on social media for all to see.
That being said someone reminded everyone that women can’t get any plastic surgery for six months after giving birth to a baby. A tweet that Cardi saw fit to share herself as people came with their knives out following her recent social media posts.
What do y’all think? Did Cardi B get some kind of surgery done, or are people hating to hate? Let us know in the comments section below.

The relationship between Offset and Cardi B has been all over the place as of late and though the two are going through a divorce, Cardi just gave birth to the couple’s third child. But it seems like she might’ve done some dirt while impregnated with Offset’s bun in her oven.
According to Page Six, Cardi took to Instagram Live on Wednesday (Sept. 25) to go off on her estranged husband, Offset. While doing her live she claimed that Offset was threatening to take back all of the lavish gifts he blessed her with during their union.
“I find it funny that n—as think that they can f—k on anything, but when I start talking to n—as, you want to threaten me with taking s—t that I f—king worked my ass off for. You want to play those games with me? We gon’ play them games too.”
She added, “You want to take my s—t because I’m moving on? Move on. Why can’t you move on?”
Not one to keep his Twitter fingers idle, Offset jumped in the comments and blew everyone’s mind away with a low-key disturbing accusation.
Per Page Six:
Amid their ongoing divorce, the “Clout” rapper took to the comments of his estranged wife’s Instagram Live on Wednesday to accuse her of sleeping with someone else while she was pregnant.
“U f–ked with a baby inside, tell the truth!!” he wrote, per a screenshot from the recording, which was shared on X.
Not long after, Cardi seemingly confirmed the accusation on her X account, posting, “AND DID !!!!!!”
It’s unclear when the alleged hookup took place, but the “Money” hitmaker filed for divorce from the former Migos rapper in July.
Well, can’t say we saw that one coming!
AND DID !!!!!!

While we don’t blame Cardi for moving on with her life and entertaining other men after her separation, sleeping with another man, allegedly, while having your ex’s seed growing inside of you is kind of out there. On the flip side, Offset has been accused of cheating on Cardi multiple times during their marriage, so we can’t be out here judging people. To each their own, right?
Needless to say, the divorce proceedings in this case have the potential to get very ugly and best believe social media will be right there willing and waiting to get into the nitty gritty of every detail and magnify it by a thousand on X, Facebook, Instagram and maybe even Donald Trump’s struggle social media website too.
What do y’all think about Offset calling out Cardi B for sleeping with another man while preggers? Let us know in the comments section below.

The birth of her third child comes a month and change after Cardi B filed for divorce from her baby daddy, Offset, which immediately led to X users to chime in with their thoughts and opinions. Surprisingly enough Cardi announced her third pregnancy shortly after filing for divorce which future sent Xer’s into a spiral with astonishment and shock. Needless to say, Cardi B isn’t scared to take on life’s challenges alone if she feel she has to. Luckily she’s a multi-millionaire so that’ll definitely help her get by.
Still, it seems like Offset has no problem co-parenting with his soon to be ex-wife so at least she’ll be getting some support from her former beau going forward. Good man… well, depending on how you look at the entire situation as a whole. Just sayin.’

Grand opening, grand close. Cardi B has reportedly filed for divorce from her husband, Migos rapper Offset, again.
The couple’s relationship has long been considered tumultuous at best thanks ever present rumors of infidelity, so social media is having a field day at the news, and the circumstances.
Page Six reports that the Bronx rapper’s decision to call it quits was confirmed by her rep. Reportedly, they tried to work things out at the top of the year, but they couldn’t get to a better place in their relationship, allegedly. A source claims that the latest rumors of Offset cheating is not what sparked the divorce.
“They’ve grown apart. That’s what drove her to this decision more than anything else,” the source told Page Six. “This is something she wants to do.”
Cardi is reportedly seeking primary custody of their two children, daughter, Kulture, 5, and a son, Wave, 2. Recently, the Bronx was spotted in New York City, hiding what looks like a prominent baby bump. However, she has yet to confirm if she is pregnant.
Although the couple was married in September 2017, since then they have separated multiple times (she filed for divorce in 2020, but it didn’t take), with their spats often being made public, usually by themselves. In late 2023 she shared that she was “single for a minute” but they were spotted out on a date since.
If there’s one thing social media always goes up for, it’s Cardi B and Offset drama, and today’s divorce revelation is no different. Peep some of the crazier reactions (the Offset slander is…intense) in the gallery.
