Cardi B has sought sanctions against a social media content creator for allegedly violating a nondisparagement agreement she struck with the Grammy winning rapper as part of a bankruptcy plan.
YouTube entertainment blogger Latasha Transrina Kebe, also known as Tasha K, has continued an “unabated pattern of deliberate, calculated, and contumacious violations” of the deal by posting derogatory content against Cardi B, according to a motion filed April 10 in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida.
Cardi B is seeking an order to stop all direct or coded disparagement, attorneys’ fees related to the nondisparagement clause, and penalties for future violations, according to the motion. The rapper said she’ll also push to dismiss or convert Kebe’s bankruptcy into a Chapter 7 liquidation if violations continue.
Kebe in early 2025 received court approval of a bankruptcy plan in which Cardi B agreed to accept nearly $1.2 million over five years.
Cardi B won a $3.9 million defamation ruling against Kebe in 2022 that couldn’t be tossed via bankruptcy. Kebe filed for bankruptcy in May 2023, after the rapper began garnishing her money, according to court records.
Defamatory Statements
On her “unWinewithTashaK” YouTube channel and other social media platforms, Kebe had falsely accused Cardi B of having herpes and HPV and claimed the rapper was a prostitute, among other accusations, according to court filings.
Kebe agreed to not make derogatory or disparaging statements about the rapper and her family in any public form as part of her bankruptcy plan terms.
But Kebe has continued to make derogatory content targeting Cardi B, whose legal name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, and her family across her social media platforms, which have more than 1 million followers, according to the motion.
Kebe has received three formal violation notices but has broken the nondisparagement clause at least 25 times, the rapper said.
Kebe is allowed under the bankruptcy plan to “cure” any disparaging remarks but is abusing that, the motion says.
Kebe “has weaponized the cure provision as a business model: post patently false, disparaging, and defamatory content about Ms. Almánzar and her family, generate tens of thousands of views and corresponding advertising revenue, then remove the post after receiving a notice and after the damage is already done,” the suit said.
The motion points to references Kebe has made to "#11,” which refers to Cardi B’s ranking on the Billboard charts, and commenting on the rapper’s alleged romantic partner, football player Stefon Diggs.
Kebe has also published reports about a shooting incident related to the father of Cardi B’s children, rapper Offset, and said the defamation judgment only occurred because she “was broke,” the filing said.
A GoFundMe account launched in March 2026 by Kebe to help her pay her debts is meant to frame Almánzar as a “financial antagonist” and incite public sympathy against her, the motion said.
“These are the actions of someone who agreed to a court-confirmed obligation under duress of dismissal, never intended to honor it in spirit, and is openly attempting to engineer a path around it,” the motion said.
Kebe’s bankruptcy plan included structured repayments of a portion of the defamation judgment and payments for other general unsecured creditors over five years that equal a 30.1% recovery.
A spokesman for Kebe in March said rapper Nicki Minaj, who Cardi B has feuded with, gave the blogger an undisclosed amount of money. Kebe planned to use the funds, along with other donations, to try to pay her judgment off within a year, the spokesman said.
Kebe’s bankruptcy attorney, Chad Van Horn of Van Horn Law Group PA, declined to comment Monday.
Cardi B is represented by Meland Budwick PA.
The case is Kebe, Bankr. S.D. Fla., No. 23-14082, motion 4/10/26.
