It appears that disgraced blogger, Tasha K is FINALLY ready to waive the white flag in her court battle with the ”Money” rapper, Cardi B.
A federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld Cardi B’s $4 million defamation verdict against a gossip blogger who made salacious claims on YouTube about drug use, STDs and prostitution.
In a five-page decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit rejected an appeal from Tasha K, who had claimed that the massive verdict against her was the result of “very lopsided presentation of evidence to the jury.”

A federal judge on Thursday sentenced R. Kelly to 20 years in prison for child sex crimes, after a jury found that he had produced three videos of himself sexually abusing his 14-year-old goddaughter.
“The jury got it right. I am thankful there is justice for Meg,” Megan Thee Stallion’s attorney Alex Spiro told ABC News in a statement after the verdict was announced Friday afternoon.
Chaos reportedly broke out in the court room after the verdict was announced, with Lanez’s father screaming at prosecutors, calling them “witches” and “evil,” according to Los Angeles station KABC.
“You two are evil, wicked,” Lanez’s father yelled at prosecutors as the jury left the court room, while Lanez’s defense attorneys tried to deescalate the situation.
Lanez was later taken into custody.
Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 27 at 8:30 a.m. local time, according to KABC.
A key piece of evidence presented to the jury was a text message Harris sent to Pete’s then-body guard Justin Edison moments after the incident, saying, “Help Tory shot Meg 911.”
“I don’t know why I said that to Justin. I didn’t see anything happen,” Harris testified, according to Los Angeles’ KABC.
Edison, who was subpoenaed to testify in this case, went missing a day before his scheduled testimony last Friday, his father told “GMA,” but as the jury deliberated, his family announced he was located.
Witnesses also included police who responded to the shooting, forensic experts who examined DNA evidence on the gun, a doctor who treated Megan’s foot injuries and a neighbor who witnessed the shooting from his home.Pete testified last week that on the night of July 12, 2020, she got out of a car following an argument with Lanez and as she walked away, she turned her head and saw him with a gun, according to a reporter with Los Angeles ABC station KABC, was in the courtroom.
He faces a maximum sentence of 22 years in prison and possible deportation back to his native Canada.
