A judge has ordered an injunction against Tasha K, forcing the vlogger to delete defamatory posts about Cardi B. Tasha K must delete all of her YouTube and social media posts that defame Cardi B, after the judge granted Cardi B’s request for an injunction. The judge gave the vlogger five days to complete the task of removing all of the defamatory post

Earlier this year, a Georgia jury awarded $4 million to Cardi B in her lawsuit against Tasha K, the creator behind unWinewithTashaK on YouTube. In 2019, Cardi sued the vlogger for defamation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Said Cardi back in January: “After almost four years of repeated libel and slander against me, being able to walk away from this victorious brings me great happiness. I appreciate Judge Ray for conducting a fair and impartial trial. I am grateful for the jury and their careful deliberation over the past two weeks.”

Tasha K, whose real name is Latasha Kebe, spread salacious allegations about Cardi B online. The initial offense came when Tasha K posted a video where she called out Cardi B for being a “drug-using prostitute with herpes.” Cardi won her lawsuit with Tasha K as the jury sided with her, finding the vlogger guilty for all three claims against her for telling several damaging lies about Cardi B, including rumors about her sexual life/health.

The 64th annual Grammy Awards were held on Sunday, hosted by Trevor Noah and airing live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on CBS.

Among the night’s big winners were Jon Batiste, who took home Album of the Year for We Are. Olivia Rodrigo took home Best Pop Vocal Album for Sour, and also won Best New Artist.  Silk Sonic, comprised of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, won Song of the Year and Record of the Year for “Leave the Door Open.”

Doja Cat and SZA won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for their hit song “Kiss Me More,” while Jazmine Sullivan won Best R&B Album for Heaux Tales and Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar’s “Family Ties” won Best Rap Performance. Chris Stapleton also won Best Country album for Starting Over. 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed viewers at home in a pre-recorded video, where he spoke about Russia invading his country and the ongoing conflict, saying in part: “Our musicians wear body armor instead of tuxedos. They sing to the wounded. In hospitals. Even to those who can’t heart them. But the music will break through anyway. We defend our freedom. To live. To love. To sound. Our land, we are fighting Russia, which brings horrible silence with its bombs. The dead silence. Fill the silence with your music! Fill it today. To tell our story. Tell the truth about this war on your social networks, on TV. Support us in any way you can. Any, but not silence, and peace will come.”

Respects were paid to the late Taylor Hawkins, drummer of the Foo Fighters, who died on March 25. Foo Fighters were supposed to perform during the show, but canceled because of Hawkins’ recent death. A video was shown highlighting Hawkins’ career before the Grammys launched into its annual In Memorial segment, which paid homage to all of those in the music industry who have died over the past year, including Dusty Hill of ZZ Top, DMX, Biz Markie, Stephen Sondheim and more.
