Cardi B is taking legal action against Tasha K, seeking to dismiss her recent bankruptcy filing. In court documents, Cardi B’s legal team alleges that Tasha K is attempting to evade paying the $3.4 million defamation judgment awarded to the rapper in 2022.
The “WAP” rapper claims the blogger’s financial hardship is nothing more than a façade. According to court documents filed by Cardi’s legal team in Florida Bankruptcy court, Tasha has been funneling money into offshore accounts and transferring property under her husband’s name in an effort to dodge her debt. Cardi alleges that Tasha’s claims of being broke don’t match her extravagant lifestyle.
She also alleges that Tasha K holds multiple offshore trust accounts in the Cook Islands, Nevis, and Georgia. Cardi says that despite the internet personality telling the court that she can’t afford to pay off what she owes, she’s living a “life in luxury.”
For someone supposedly struggling financially, Tasha has been living large. Apparently, she and her husband have even recently moved into a deluxe apartment, which costs them $7K per month. In the legal filing, the rapper also cited various social media posts in which Tasha K flaunts high-end clothes, jewelry, and more.
Cardi B’s lawyers argue that this lavish spending doesn’t align with Tasha’s bankruptcy claims.
But Cardi isn’t stopping at just dismissing the case. The Grammy-winning rapper is pushing to block Tasha from reapplying for bankruptcy for at least two years, ensuring that her money is recouped.
This legal battle stems from a 2019 defamation lawsuit Cardi filed against Tasha K, accusing the blogger of spreading malicious lies about her, including false claims about her health, marriage, and personal life. Tasha K made a slew of false claims about Cardi B, born Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, accusing her of drug use, having STDs, and engaging in alleged prostitution. Cardi B emerged victorious in the case, winning a $4 million judgment. However, Tasha’s refusal to pay has turned this into a years-long drama.
At the time of reporting, Tasha K has yet to respond.
Stay tuned as Cardi B continues her legal crusade.
