Under the Chapter 11 plan's five-year payment schedule, Tasha K (Latasha Kebe) and her husband's company must pay approximately $300,000 annually. While the total amount owed to Cardi B is $3.91 million, this plan covers $1.18 million, with the remaining balance potentially collectible after the five-year period.

Key aspects of the settlement include:

  • Annual payments of roughly $300,000 for five years
  • A comprehensive non-disparagement clause preventing Tasha K from making negative statements about Cardi B, her family, or businesses
  • Structured payment distribution to various creditors, with Cardi B being the primary recipient

Tasha K has expressed relief about concluding the bankruptcy proceedings through a YouTube post, where she maintains a strong following. Financial documents indicate she is projected to earn $300,000 from YouTube in 2025.

The case originated from defamatory videos published by Tasha K in 2018, leading to a legal battle that culminated in her May 2023 bankruptcy filing. Separately, she has reportedly settled an unrelated lawsuit with comedian Kevin Hart.
