Cardi B awarded $1.25 million in Libel Lawsuit against YouTuber

According to court records acquired by PEOPLE, a federal jury awarded Cardi B $1.25 million in damages on Monday after finding Kebe responsible for libel, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The verdict came after a two-week trial in which both women testified. Cardi’s publicist has yet to respond.

Cardi accused Kebe of fabricating “malicious” charges about her in a lawsuit filed in March 2019, including that the rapper was a prostitute, cheated on her spouse, took cocaine, and had herpes and HPV.

Kebe allegedly sought to “wreck” her career by making “false” charges against her, according to the Grammy winner.
