Cardi B Sues Tasha K’s Husband Over Alleged $4M Asset Scheme

The long-running legal feud between rapper Cardi B and online commentator Tasha K has just escalated, with Cardi B now targeting Tasha K’s husband in a new lawsuit. The rapper is accusing him of allegedly helping to conceal assets in a scheme to avoid paying the substantial $4 million judgment awarded to her in their defamation case.

A New Legal Front Opens

According to reports, Cardi B has filed a federal civil lawsuit against Cheickna Kebe, Tasha K’s husband. The lawsuit claims that Kebe assisted Tasha K in orchestrating a series of financial maneuvers designed to keep her money and assets out of Cardi B’s reach following the defamation judgment. This latest development adds a significant new chapter to their ongoing legal saga.

Cardi B initially sued Tasha K back in 2019 over allegedly false and damaging claims spread online. In January 2022, a jury found Tasha K liable for defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, awarding Cardi B nearly $4 million in damages. Now, the focus is on whether those funds can be collected.

Allegations of Asset Concealment

The lawsuit details several alleged actions taken by Kebe. One key claim involves the creation of a new company, Yelen Entertainment, LLC, in May 2022. Cardi B alleges that assets from Tasha K’s original business, Kebe Studios, were transferred to this new entity, leaving the old business as an “empty shell” unable to satisfy the judgment. Furthermore, Tasha K’s earnings were reportedly rerouted through accounts linked to Yelen Entertainment, and her name was removed from various financial accounts.

Adding to the accusations, Cardi B claims that a Georgia property owned by Tasha K was transferred to Kebe for a mere $1, an apparent attempt to shield it from garnishment. Court filings referenced in the suit reportedly include Kebe’s own admission under oath that some of these financial moves were intended to help Tasha K “avoid garnishment.”

Cardi B’s Demands

In response to these allegations, Cardi B is asking the court to take decisive action. She seeks to have the alleged asset transfers voided, recover the owed funds, and potentially place assets connected to both Tasha K and Kebe into a trust until the full judgment is paid. This legal maneuver aims to ensure accountability and the satisfaction of the court’s previous ruling.

This legal bombshell has quickly ignited discussions across social media, with users dissecting the filings and reacting to the ongoing saga. The situation remains complex, especially following previous accusations by Cardi B’s legal team that Tasha K violated a non-disparagement clause and Tasha K’s own admission that she had “lost the war” in court.
