Cardi B is suing Tasha K’s husband, accusing him of hiding assets to prevent collecting her $4 million defamation judgment.
Cardi B has filed a federal lawsuit against Tasha K’s husband, Cheickna Kebe, seeking a jury trial and accusing him and his company, Yelling Entertainment, of hiding assets to prevent her from collecting fees based on a previous defamation judgment.
The defamation battle itself dates back to 2019, when Cardi filed a lawsuit over false claims about her health, drug use and personal life.
In January 2022, a jury sided with Cady, awarding damages of $1.25 million, plus $250,000 in medical expenses, with punitive damages and attorney fees bringing the total to more than $4 million.
The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the decision in March 2023, leaving Tasha K with no way out in the appeals process.
According to new filings, Cardi B’s legal team claims Tasha K and her husband executed what they called a “personal income and asset transfer scheme” to hide assets and prevent payments.
The lawsuit specifically singles out fraudulent transfers as a central issue.
The filing alleges several specific transfers. Cardi B’s legal team claims Tasha K transferred her property in Georgia from her own name to her husband’s, about a month after the original defamation verdict.
The lawsuit also states that Ki Studios was dissolved after being stripped of all assets and revenue-generating capabilities, leaving behind what the documents describe as a “judgment-proof shell.”
Additionally, the lawsuit alleges that Tasha K channeled income and proceeds through Yelling Entertainment’s accounts and financial structures, which were specifically designed to prevent Cardi B’s garnishment.
The 72-page lawsuit covers multiple counts of fraudulent transfers. Cardi B’s legal team argued that the actual purpose of the transfers was to delay and defraud her and prevent her from collecting her judgment.
Tasha K filed for bankruptcy in 2025 and negotiated a payment plan that required payments of $1.2 million over five years, but the deal did not eliminate the entire judgment.
In April 2026, Cardi’s team returned to court, accusing Tasha K of violating the non-disparagement clause at least 25 times on social media platforms.
