Tasha K Files for Bankruptcy Amid Owing Cardi B $3 Million

Cardi B started making good on collecting her money from blogger Tasha K, so she filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
As Easy As That
Tasha K, whose real name is Latasha Kebe, filed a petition in Florida to file for bankruptcy this week and has listed her assets as in the $50k-$100k range. This is a far cry from the $3 million she owes the rapper.
Tasha K was ordered to pay Cardi after being found guilty of defamation against Cardi. Her asses are listed as A 2021 Chevrolet Silverado worth $46k, $2750 worth of furniture, $500 worth of electronics, $2,500 worth of clothes including 2 Louis Vuitton purses, and a Coach person.
She also has some jewelry that's worth $6k. This includes her engagement and wedding ring. She also has a checking account at Chase Bank with less than $100 in it.
Tasha K's Has Debt Too
Besides being indebted to the "Up" rapper, Tasha K's debt also includes $53k owed on the car, an undisclosed amount in back taxes to the IRS, $6k to American Express, some legal fees, $3k to Bank of America, $3.38 million owed to Cardi, $5k owed to Discover Bank.
She shares that what she does have is about $13k, and her husband brings in about $17k; she is also a mom of two, and most of that money goes to the household, leaving her with about $7k to play around with.
She made her most money in 2021 with $156,000, in 2022, she made $134,000. None of this has phased the rapper, who has put even more effort into getting her money from Tasha K in the last few months.
Cardi B Subpoenaed Tasha K
The "WAP" rapper got cold-blooded with it when she took legal action against Tasha K. She filed subpoenas to the blogger's bank accounts and Google, where she makes money from her YouTube vlog and Instagram pages.
She collected thousands of dollars, which is essentially nothing compared to the millions she owes, but Cardi is likely not doing this for the money. She did say during her humble beginning on Love and Hip Hop New York, "If a bitch got beef with me, she got beef with me, forever!"
Uh oh! Look out, Tasha K., the blogger, was indicted by a Jury in Georgia last year after Cardi accused her of using her YouTube channel to accuse the New York native of being an escort, having an STD, and using hard drugs.
Cardi B Proved Her Wrong
The rapper dug her heels in and went above and beyond to debunk every one of Tasha K's accusations. She denied having been an escort, ever. She presented medical records of tests taken to prove she had no STDs.
She then went to court looking like a straight boss and testified that the allegations had caused her extreme emotional distress and ignited problems with her marriage. She was awarded $1 million in general damages and $250k for medical expenses, totaling $1.25 million.
She was further awarded $1.5 million in punitive damages and another $1.3 million for her attorney fees.
