Cardi B has won a libel lawsuit against Vlogger Latasha K. A jury in Georgia, awarded the rapper $1 million (113,550,000) in damages and an additional $250,000 (Ksh 28387500) for medical expenses.

Latasha K was sued by Cardi B for defamation after she published a Youtube video claiming that the rapper had once worked as a prostitute, had suffered from drug abuse and STIs.

In the lawsuit, Cardi B's legal team said "None of the aforementioned statements about plaintiff are true. The Plaintiff was never a prostitute or a user of cocaine. Plaintiff has never, and does not now, have herpes, nor has she had herpes outbreaks on her mouth."

Cardi B is yet to comment after winning the lawsuit.
