Near the end of November, we reported that Cardi B was ordered to share her medical records with a judge after filing a defamation case against YouTube vlogger Latasha Kebe – also known as Tasha K – a few years ago. Now, according to AllHipHop, it’s been confirmed that the “WAP” rapper is negative for both herpes and HPV.
“My client does not have HPV and herpes. Two of the defamatory statements at issue are the vile, false, and highly offensive statements by the defendant that my client has herpes and HPV, and we provided these [STD testing] records 14 months ago in support of my client’s claims,” the mother of two’s lawyer told Rolling Stone prior to the results.
Tasha K’s lawyer also sent a statement to the outlet, saying, “we have no comment about the order for plaintiff’s medical records, specifically. We are continuing to prepare for jury trial. Ms. Kebe is looking forward to finally having this matter resolved.”
After reviewing documents submitted by Center for Women’s Pelvic Health at UCLA, the judge overseeing the case has said, “the Court has received and reviewed the records and finds that they are not helpful to Defendant.” They have also ordered that the records regarding the lawsuit be sealed until the defamation trial begins on January 5th, 2022.
On top of her claims that Cardi had herpes and HPV, Tasha K also alleged that the New Yorker was once a prostitute, and did hard drugs like cocaine. The Cardi Tries host has said that these rumours have been damaging to her reputation, also noting that they’re “flat-out lies.” A counter suit filed by the internet personality claims that Cardi instructed her fans to harass her on social media.
AllHipHop reports that a judge dismissed those claims, saying that the YouTuber didn’t have evidence to support her allegations.
