Cardi B has been sued $1 million by blogger Latasha K for alleged defamation charges. According to The Blast, the blogger, who has 500,000 YouTube subscribers, received death threats after Cardi B told “lies” about her on social media.
The site obtained court documents in which Latasha K admits to making a video with fellow blogger Starmarie Ebony Jones accusing Cardi B of using drugs and contracting sexual transmitted infections.
After the video got popular, Cardi asked K to take the video down, but K refused and asked Cardi to appear in an interview. The Grammy award winning rapper declined the invitation, and sued Latasha K for defamation. According to TMZ, Cardi accused the blogger of saying that her baby Kulture would be born with “intellectual disabilities” because of Cardi’s drug use during her pregnancy.
K said: “Cardi B began to publicly defame Ms. Kebe, referring to her as ‘this blogger lady, by stating that Ms. Kebe makes up fake stories; harasses all of Cardi B’s friends; constantly stalks Cardi B; falsely claims that she has legitimate sources giving her information about Cardi B; uses Cardi B’s name for ‘click bait’; and many other false accusations.”
K began receiving threats from gangs, and a lot of harassment both online and in person. We’ll see who’s right and who’s wrong in this case, and if Cardi has really been overstepping the fine line, she should be punished.
