Cardi B accuses Tasha K of hiding cash in offshore accounts after YouTuber declared bankruptcy in $4M lawsuit

1 week ago 79

Cardi B has accused Tasha K of hiding money, after the YouTuber filed for bankruptcy in the aftermath of a 2022 defamation lawsuit.

The Bodak Yellow hitmaker, 32, was awarded a nearly $4 million verdict against the blogger, 42, for her false claims about the hip hop star's drug use, STDs, and prostitution.

Tasha — who was also sued by comedian Kevin Hart for extortion last year — went on to file for bankruptcy in May, stating she had less than $60,000 in assets. 

At the time a judge ruled that bankruptcy will not be able to 'discharge' Tasha from the remaining $3.4 million she owes the Grammy Award winner, meaning she would still be on the hook for the payment even after exiting bankruptcy.

In a latest development in the case, Cardi is alleging that Tasha failed to disclose 'multiple domestic and offshore trusts', as per TMZ 

Cardi  — born Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar — claims the offshore accounts are located in places like the Cook Islands, Nevis and Georgia (the country).

Cardi's attorneys filed documents in Florida Bankruptcy court, alleging Tasha 'fraudulently transferred assets and income out of her name, and into her husband's name and/or his business.' 

Despite filing for bankruptcy, Cardi believes Tasha is still living a 'life in luxury' and claims claims the YouTuber and her husband just got deluxe apartment with a $7,000/month rent.

Cardi also believes Tasha is flaunting her wealth on social media, claiming she posts photographs of herself in what appears to be expensive clothing, handbags, and jewelry. 

Cardi wants the court to dismiss Tasha's bankruptcy case and impose a two-year filing ban. 

The judge has yet to rule. 

A jury found Tasha, real name Latasha Kebe, liable on two counts of slander and one count each of libel and invasion of privacy.

Cardi was awarded $1 million in general damages, $1.5 million in punitive damages, plus $1.3 million for her attorney's fees, and $250,000 for medial expenses.

The blogger was sued by the hitmaker for defamation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress after claiming in videos posted to her YouTube channel that Cardi had once worked as a prostitute and had suffered from drug abuse and sexually transmitted diseases.

The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, where Tasha lives, and the trial took just over a week before a jury determined that Tasha was liable on the slander, libel and invasion of privacy counts.

Cardi sued the YouTuber back in 2019 for a 'campaign of slander' after she refused to take down the offending videos.

Among the false claims made were that the superstar rapper had contracted herpes and that she regularly used cocaine while working as a prostitute.

'None of the aforementioned statements about plaintiff are true,' Cardi's legal team replied in her lawsuit filing. 'Plaintiff was never a prostitute or a user of cocaine. Plaintiff has never, and does not now, have herpes, nor has she had herpes outbreaks on her mouth.'

During her emotional testimony in court Cardi claimed 'I wanted to commit suicide over the things.'

'I felt defeated and depressed and I didn't want to sleep with my husband,' she said of a period shortly after she and the Migos rapper Offset — with whom she has since split — welcomed their daughter Kulture.

During direct examination by her legal team, she also admitted that she felt as if she 'didn't deserve my kid.'

The rapper also blasted Tasha K from the witness stand, saying 'I felt like only a demon could do that s**t,' according to TMZ.

Last year, Kevin Hart (pictured 2023) sued Tasha for extortion after the gossip blogger allegedly asked him to pay $250,000 to prevent the release of a tell-all interview with his former assistant

Last year Kevin Hart sued Tasha for extortion after the gossip blogger allegedly asked him to pay $250,000 to prevent the release of a tell-all interview conducted with his former assistant.

In legal documents obtained by The Blast, Hart alleges Tasha asked him to make a payment to prevent the release of the interview.

Hart subsequently sent Tasha a cease and desist letter, informing her he would not pay the six figure amount she sought.

The lawsuit claims that Miesha Shakes, Hart's former assistant, made 'false and defamatory statements regarding Hart' in the interview, according to Page Six.
