Cardi B is asking a bankruptcy court to step in after she claims Tasha K broke their settlement agreement while discussing Offset’s alleged gambling debt.

According to a new court filing submitted on Monday (May 4) and reviewed by Complex, the rapper (born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar) claims the blogger (real name Latasha Transrina Kebe) has continued to violate a non-disparagement clause which forbids her from saying negative things about Cardi, her family, either directly or indirectly.

The Am I the Drama? rapper is specifically pointing to a recent livestream where Tasha mocked Cardi’s estranged husband, Offset, and made insinuations about his alleged gambling issues.

“Offset works at the casino, he is down there five times a week clocking in, some days he works first, second, and third shifts, and he uses everyone else’s money to gamble with,” Tasha reportedly said, per the document. “I was told he would probably still be in a certain relationship if he wasn’t gambling away all that money.”

The clause was part of a deal tied to Tasha's bankruptcy case and a previous defamation judgment in which she was ordered to pay Cardi nearly $4 million in 2022. Cardi previously agreed to pause collecting that money only because Tasha accepted the restriction on disparaging comments.

Her latest filing argues that the court made it clear Tasha had to comply with the terms of her bankruptcy plan, and that failure to do so could lead to the case being dismissed. Her legal team also said that the purpose of the agreement was simple: to help ensure payment of the judgment, with the non-disparagement clause serving as a key condition.

Despite this, Cardi claims Tasha has continued making statements that violate the agreement. Even when Cardi is not mentioned by name, she alleges that Tasha uses indirect references and coded language about her and her family in online content that draws attention and generates revenue.

To further demonstrate bad faith, Cardi alleges that Tasha falsely claimed to the court that she was current on all her bankruptcy plan payments, when in reality she was late and failed to submit a required quarterly operating report on time. She also pointed out that last month, Tasha publicly told her viewers that she is not bound to a non-disclosure agreement at all.

In response, Cardi’s team tells the court that despite Tasha’s “delusional belief that the law does not apply to her, willful violations of court orders must have consequences.”

Per the document, Tasha had previously argued that the clause violates her First Amendment rights and restricts her free speech. She also claimed that removing posts after being warned shows she is making a good-faith effort to comply.

However, Cardi disputes that by saying the issue is not free speech but enforcement of a private agreement that was voluntarily entered into. She also accuses Tasha of improperly relying on a specific provision that only grants a 48 hour window to delete any violating content if they involve Cardi’s family members who are unknown to the general public.

Through her legal counsel, the rapper argues that deleting posts after they have already been viewed and monetized does not undo the violation, but instead reflects an ongoing pattern of conduct that still benefits the blogger.

Cardi also raises concerns about Tasha's legal filings, accusing her attorneys of citing a fabricated case and misrepresenting real legal decisions in their arguments. Specifically, she notes that the hallucinated case is named “Doe v. Gonzalez” while also claiming Tasha’s legal team used a fake quote attributed to a real case (McGregor v. Chierico).

“Using fake and hallucinated cases casts a shadow on invalidity on the judicial process and causes the public to question its commitment to truth and justice, which is particularly odious. Lawyers who fail to check the accuracy of the information in their briefs should be held accountable,” argued Cardi’s lawyers in the filing.

They continued, “Ms. Almánzar does not presume to know whether this citation was generated through AI assistance without adequate verification, copied from a secondary source, or introduced through some other mechanism.”

Cardi B’s legal team is asking the court to order Tasha K to delete all prohibited content, schedule a hearing to award attorney’s fees, establish monetary sanctions for any future violations, and issue sanctions against the blogger and her counsel for submitting fake legal citations.
