Lawsuit Won Filed by Cardi B Against YouTuber Tasha K
A federal jury sided with rapper Cardi B in her defamation lawsuit against YouTuber Latasha Kebe on Monday, saying that Kebe must pay the Bronx native at least $1.25 million, court documents said.
Back in 2019, Cardi B alleged that Kebe aka Tasha K (unwinewithtashak on YouTube) became obsessed with her and kept running this campaign about Cardi B having herpes and abusing drugs. The jury found Tasha K liable for defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentionally inflicting emotional distress.
Shaq Meets Prince

“They weren’t even looking at me,” Shaq said, remembering the first time he met Prince. “I guess Prince was saying he was gonna marry the most beautiful girl in the world, so he had girls from everywhere just trying to impress him. He even had some girls acting like mannequins, standing stiff the whole time. It was him and about twenty girls up there, feeding him grapes.”
