Cardi B Secures $60,000 Settlement From Blogger Tasha K Following Renewed Legal Dispute Over Offset

Gossip blogger Tasha K has agreed to pay Cardi B $60,000 to resolve the latest chapter in their years-long legal battle, after the Grammy-winning rapper accused the blogger of breaching terms tied to an earlier defamation judgment. The settlement, filed Tuesday, states that both parties reached the agreement in order to sidestep the cost, delay, and unpredictability that further litigation would bring.

The roots of this dispute trace back to 2022, when Cardi B, born Belcalis Almánzar, won a $4 million defamation verdict against Tasha K, whose legal name is Latasha Kebe. The blogger reportedly filed for bankruptcy in 2023, but her debt to Almánzar was not dischargeable. Rather than immediately pursuing the full judgment, Almánzar agreed to hold off on collection efforts, on the condition that Kebe stop making disparaging statements about her and her family going forward.

That truce, according to Almánzar's legal team, didn't hold. They allege Kebe continued posting content targeting Almánzar despite the agreement, including recent social media commentary involving her estranged husband, Offset, as well as NFL player Stefon Diggs, who is the father of Almánzar's youngest child. Those posts, the rapper's attorneys argued, amounted to a clear violation of the non-disparagement terms both sides had agreed to.

In response to the posts, Almánzar filed a motion back in April requesting that a judge impose what her filing described as "economically painful" sanctions against Kebe, who hosts the online show UnWineWithTashaK. Almánzar's legal team characterized the past year as an exhausting back-and-forth, saying they'd been forced into a constant "cat and mouse" routine of monitoring Kebe's social media accounts to catch potential breaches. In total, they say they documented more than two dozen instances they considered serious violations of the agreement.

The filing went further, pointing to what it described as Kebe's own public admissions, including suggestions made during the broadcasts that she planned to resume targeting Almánzar once her financial obligations were satisfied. The rapper's lawyers framed this as evidence that the violations weren't incidental, but part of a deliberate pattern the blogger intended to continue.

Under the terms of Tuesday's settlement, Kebe has committed to paying Almánzar $30,000 within 28 days of the court's order, with the remaining balance due by December 31. The agreement also lays out a process should Kebe fail to meet either deadline: Almánzar would be permitted to issue a formal notice of default, after which Kebe would have a five-day window to bring the payment current. If Kebe still fails to pay after the grace period ends, the settlement allows Almánzar to bypass the reduced $60,000 arrangement entirely and pursue the full original award, which, with accrued costs, totals $110,115.

The new agreement effectively gives Kebe a final opportunity to resolve the matter on more favorable terms than the original multimillion-dollar judgment, provided she meets the payment schedule and refrains from further public comments about Almánzar's family.

The June 30th settlement is separate from the $4 million defamation judgment.
