How exactly will the $3.9 million judgment is set to be paid out? After a long, legal battle, Cardi B is victorious in her defamation lawsuit against Tasha K. The details of the settlement and payment plan have been outlined, offering some clarity on how Tasha K will meet her financial obligations.
Despite the heavy financial burden, Tasha K has reportedly avoided filing for bankruptcy, a move that many speculated she might take to avoid paying the full amount. Instead, Tasha K has agreed to a structured payment plan to fulfill her $3.9 million debt to Cardi B.
According to the latest reports, the payment arrangement will be based on Tasha K’s tax returns and quarterly income filings. The payments will be made directly to Cardi B’s lawyers, with the blogger agreeing to provide regular updates on her financial status. This arrangement allows Tasha K to pay off the judgment over time, but it ensures that Cardi B receives the compensation she is owed for the harm caused by the defamatory statements.
In addition to the financial terms of the settlement, Tasha K has agreed to a strict non-disclosure agreement (NDA). The terms of the NDA prohibit her from making any further public statements about Cardi B or her family.

In January 2022, a Georgia jury sided with Cardi B, awarding her $1.25 million in actual damages, $1 million in punitive damages, and an additional $1.3 million in legal fees, bringing the total judgment to $3.9 million. Tasha K, who had originally vowed to fight the case all the way to the Supreme Court, faced a significant financial penalty that would have massive implications for her career and personal finances.
As the payment process takes place and the non-disclosure agreement is upheld, the online and Hip-hop community will undoubtedly be watching to see if this case sets a precedent for similar defamation lawsuits in the future.
