Meghann Cuniff, also known as Meg Thee Reporter on Black Twitter, recently provided an update on the legal battle between YouTuber Tasha K and rapper Cardi B.
In June, Tasha K had filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in Florida, requesting to pay out 22 quarterly installments of $220,000 in order to absolve her of her debt to Cardi B. However, Cuniff posted screenshots of the official document confirming that the judge had ruled that Tasha K was still obligated to pay the $4 million to the “Bongos” artist.
Cuniff shared that the current dispute is over an additional $500k in punitive damages from Tasha K’s company, Kebe Studios. Cardi’s lawyers argued in their motion for partial summary judgment that the defendant does not appear to dispute that the awards are non-dischargeable.
The journalist explained that the lawsuit was a “slam dunk” for the Bronx native, as Tasha K’s dismissal of the serious allegations led to her owing millions in debt. In order for the blogger to be released from her obligation, the jury must agree that the amount she owes is reasonable and appropriate for the crime.
A pretrial conference has been set for Jan. 9 to decide if Tasha K owes even more money to Cardi B. Cuniff believes that this is a fascinating case for defamation law, and hopes to study the trial transcripts in the near future.
