Tasha K took to YouTube after Monday's ruling in favor of Cardi B in the defamation case against her and expressed the ways in which she felt "the machine" tipped the scales to "protect prostitution, drug use, promiscuity." 

Tasha K called out what she thinks are the corporate interests behind the ruling and the values they promote. “These last four years fighting this conspiracy case, have been extremely challenging … The verdict handed down on Monday was no shock to myself, my husband, or my legal team," she said in a 12 min video uploaded Wednesday. 

“We called bluff against a machine that wanted to bully me for not wavering from my personal beliefs,” Kebe continued. “A machine that has corporate interests to protect prostitution, drug use, promiscuity and to glorify the violence that wreaks havoc in our society and in our neighborhood.”

“We will fight, no matter the cost or length, even if this takes years,” Tasha K continued, adding later, “all the way up to the Supreme Court if need be.” She also said that while the court did not ask her to remove the videos that were part of the trial, she did so anyway “to show good faith to the courts.”

Cardi B won her federal libel lawsuit against blogger Tasha K on Monday (January 24), and she was ordered to pay Cardi B $1.25 million in general damages and $250 for medical expenses. Cardi sued Tasha for falsely claiming that she had an STD, along with information about Cardi and Offset's daughter. 

Now, Dennis Byron, who has been closely following the case and reporting on Twitter, revealed that Tasha could be ordered to pay another $1.3 million in attorney fees for Cardi B. The jury was deliberating on the matter on Monday, but no word on the verdict. If she's forced to pay the $1.3 million, Tasha will owe over $4 million in damages. 

Tasha reacted to the verdict on Monday via Twitter, where she wrote, "My Husband, Attorney’s, & I fought really hard. I want to thank them for their long hours and sleepless nights. I forgot to thank all of the viewers for all of your support. In this business, this is part of the protocol. Everyone in my seat has been through this, & this ain’t the last. This comes with the territory. See y’all Friday! It’s long overdue!"

When it comes to hip-hop, journalists have been in the line of fire since day one. From Dr. Dre's alleged assault of Dee Barnes to Eminem's high-profile beef with Benzino at The Source, journalists are almost as likely to catch heat from a rapper as a rival emcee. This time around it appears as though Cardi B and Tasha K are the latest entry into the storied rivalry.

Cardi B won her federal libel case against Tasha K on Monday. During the case, the New York native simply referred the jurors to a series of videos that Tasha K posted online, alleging that Cardi B was a drug addict and a prostitute that had contracted an STI. In addition to providing the court with video/audio supporting evidence, Cardi B also testified.

After one week of deliberating in court, the judge and jurors sided against Tasha K, ordering the journalist and on-air-personality to pay Cardi B $1.25 million in general damages and $250 for medical expenses.

In Tasha K's reaction to the verdict, she posted, "My Husband, Attorney's, & I fought really hard. I want to thank them for their long hours and sleepless nights. Winos it's only up from here. See y'all in a few days. Back to work."
