This is an important victory for Cardi B. The rapper, who had been personally involved for two weeks in a highly publicized lawsuit against YouTuber Tasha K, managed to convince the courts that the false rumors, spread on social networks, were outright defamation, as relayed by

People

.

Result: the court awarded him $ 1.25 million in damages.

The charges against the blogger, whose real name is Latasha Kebe, include defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

On her YouTube account, she claimed, for example, that Cardi B was a prostitute, that she had cheated on her husband Offset, or that she had contracted STDs.

Suicidal

So many remarks deemed “degrading” and which amounted to harassment, according to Cardi B and her lawyers.

The rapper herself came to the bar to testify and affirm that she had become suicidal by dint of being confronted with this fake news.

“I felt suicidal (…) Only a really evil person could do this kind of thing,” said the interpreter of

Bodak Yellow

.

Tasha K contented herself with this statement on Twitter after the announcement of the verdict: “My husband, my lawyers and I fought very hard.

I would like to thank them for the long hours and sleepless nights they spent… The situation can only improve.

I see you all in a few days.

Back to work.

The blogger can still appeal, in which case the case will go to federal appeals court.
