Cardi B is asking a judge to impose sanctions on blogger Tasha K, alleging repeated violations of a non-disclosure agreement tied to their ongoing legal dispute.
According to the allegations outlined in the papers acquired by TMZ, Tasha K continued to talk about the personal life of the artist and even mentioned her former husband, Offset, and NFL player Stefon Diggs.
The request for sanctions cite that violations started taking place right after the confirmation in March.
“Debtor [Latasha Kebe] has engaged in a relentless course of conduct designed to target and harass Ms. Almánzar and her family through thinly coded references, scantily veiled commentary, and strategic provocation all while knowing that her audience of over one million social media followers will immediately and universally identify Ms. Almánzar as the subject.”
In particular, Tasha K said in her video last Friday, Apr. 10:
“Offset works at the casino, he is down there five days a week, clocking in.”
The vlogger added that Offset “uses everybody else’s money to gamble with,” adding:
“I was told he would probably still be in a certain relationship if he wasn’t gambling away all that money.”
Tasha K then proceeded to say that right before the rapper got shot in Florida last Monday, he had just lost a lot of money.
Cardi B seeks sanctions against Tasha K over alleged repeated NDA violations
Cardi B, whose actual name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, says that the vlogger’s comments breach of a previous agreement made in connection with the defamation case and the bankruptcy case involving a $4 million verdict.
The complaint cites Tasha K’s behavior falls under targeted harassment based on the fact that she posts content about Cardi B, deletes the content once legal claims are raised against her, and then reposts the same material.
This practice repeats itself over and over again, per Cardi B’s legal team.
“Debtor still believes that she is above the law, consequences, and is invulnerable. And what makes this pattern of defiance particularly egregious is not merely the violations themselves, but what debtor has openly admitted in public broadcasts.”
The court filing added:
“She has made clear that she intends to resume harassment of Ms. Almánzar once her debt is paid off.”
The WAP hitmaker wants court-imposed sanctions for any future violation, stating that increasing sanctions are needed in order to discourage any additional commentaries regarding her and her entourage.
Moreover, the document demands that a restraining order be issued so as to prevent Tasha K from engaging with Cardi B.
“Without concrete sanctions that make violations economically painful, debtor has every incentive to continue precisely as she has been: post in violation of the plan and confirmation order, generate views and revenue, belatedly retract only when caught, and repeat.”
The court has not yet issued a ruling on the request for sanctions or additional restrictions.
