American rapper Cardi B has just won a lawsuit for compensation for defamation. The party that has to pay the compensation is blogger – LaTasha Kebe.According to information from the music news outlet Billboard (USA), a judge in the state of Georgia, USA, decided to rule in favor of Cardi B and awarded her $1.25 million in compensation for defamation.
The losing party was blogger LaTasha Kebe. According to the verdict issued by a court in the state of Georgia, USA, blogger LaTasha Kebe violated the privacy and provided false information about others, affecting the honor of others.
Cardi B’s breakthrough album, “Invasion of Privacy,” released in 2018, was about this very thing: “Invasion of Privacy.” Blogger LaTasha Kebe could face even more damage if she has to pay the legal fees Cardi B has incurred in pursuing this case.
Rapper Cardi B (29 years old) sued Kebe in court in 2019 because of a series of videos in which Kebe appeared, at that time, Kebe made baseless accusations about rapper Cardi B, such as this female artist was a “prostitute”, heavily addicted, had an affair and had a sexually transmitted disease…
Cardi B shared in court that she felt very depressed and even had suicidal thoughts after a series of “horrible” accusations made by Kebe: “I felt depressed and devastated, I didn’t want to be near my relatives, even my husband – rapper Offset”.
During her most depressed period, Cardi B said she often suffered from dizziness, weight loss, headaches, stress… amid a series of false information surrounding her.
“Only a very evil person could do such a thing,” rapper Cardi B said in court. During her court appearances, the rapper had to apologize to the court several times for her inappropriate language, saying she was too upset and could not keep her composure.
Rapper Cardi B’s real name is Belcalis Almánzar. Cardi B said that the false rumors spread by blogger Kebe led to some netizens continuously leaving insulting and hurtful comments towards her, every time she posted new information and photos on social media. Currently, blogger Kebe’s lawyer still has the right to appeal.
