Cardi B is being accused of attempting to silence Tasha K in the latest documents filed by the blogger in their long-running legal dispute.
TMZ first spotted Tasha’s claim, which was filed in federal bankruptcy court on Tuesday (January 7) and viewed by HipHopDX. It it, Tasha alleges Cardi has not been “acting in her economic interest, but seeks to silence Debtor by ending her bankruptcy case and her Career.”
What Tasha is upset about is Cardi’s attempt last month to get the YouTuber’s bankruptcy case thrown out. Tasha had filed for bankruptcy back in 2023.
Bardi claimed that Tasha and her husband had “orchestrated a months-long scheme to hinder, delay, and defraud” the Bronx rapper’s efforts to collect the $3.9 million she won from Tasha after suing the blogger back in 2019, following what she believed was a malicious smear campaign involving several false statements about her.
Tasha now says that Cardi’s attempt to get the bankruptcy attempted nixed is actually a backdoor attempt to silence her voice. She says that Cardi is insisting on a non-disparagement clause “so broad that it would undermine [Tasha’s] Career.”
“She seeks to sabotage Debtor’s Career through unreasonable restrictions on her First Amendment rights,” the filing continues. “Having failed to bully Debtor into accepting an overarching non-disparagement clause, Claimant filed the Motion to Dismiss to harm Debtor’s Career and end Debtor’s bankruptcy case.”
In addition to her long-running battle with Tasha K, Cardi has been busy finishing up her sophomore album — and she’s taking extreme steps to do so.
Over the weekend, the Bronx superstar went live on social media to reveal that during the “very crucial” month of January, she wanted to avoid anything that could take her away from her artistic goals, including sex.
“I don’t even want to take dick right now, because every single time I take dick, I get distracted. I don’t want no distraction,” she explained. “I put a little pause on my dating life because January is very, very, very, very important, and I have a mission to complete. And if I don’t complete this mission, it’s gonna fuck up the schedule for this year.”
The “Bodak Yellow” rapper said that even a few days into the new year, “I already feel like I’ve been getting tested.” But, she said, she hasn’t yet buckled.

Tyler, The Creator has quite the fan in punk legend Iggy Pop after working together briefly a few years back.
Tyler and Iggy starred in a Gucci Tailoring campaign ad alongside A$AP Rocky back in 2020, and it appears that Tyler left quite the impression. While discussing the Chromakopia rapper on his BBC Radio 6 show Iggy Confidential, the Godfather of Punk called him “a genuine old-school talent.”
“I’ve always liked Tyler. I did a day’s work with him once, and he would do what it takes to get attention,” Iggy said. “He’s also a genuine all-around song, dance, writer, talent — a genuine old-school talent with a new-school approach.”

Iggy Pop isn’t the only legend with high praise for Tyler, The Creator.
One of his hometown’s biggest music legends, Ice Cube, shared his admiration for Tyler in a new interview with HipHopDX, speaking highly of his creativity and individuality which he says represents a side of Los Angeles that is often forgotten about.
When asked for his thoughts on the Odd Future founder’s success, Cube said: “That’s L.A. That’s the L.A. people don’t know about — ultra-creative individuals who won’t conform to the culture of gangbanging. They’re going to be themselves.”
Cube then drew a comparison between Tyler and a particular West Coast rap group that’s held in high regard: “He reminds me of, like, The Pharycde. Here’s another: the Black Eyed Peas come from here.
“You’re going to always have those groups who are going to stay down with their own style and their own flavor, and going to win with it. Because they’re not conforming, they’re not being what you want them to be; they’re being who they are. And you gotta salute that.”
Tyler, The Creator has no shortage of famous fans. Since storming onto the scene with “Yonkers” (and its infamous roach-chewing video) over a decade ago, the Hawthorne native has earned co-signs from everyone from Kanye West, JAY-Z and Lil Wayne to fellow West Coast heroes Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar.
Some of the highest compliments have come from his idol Pharrell, who back in 2017 tweeted: “Thank you @tylerthecreator for being everything we dreamt of when making In Search Of,” referring to N.E.R.D.‘s genre-blending 2001 album. “Artistic freedom to be you and make whatever you want.”
Though he’s now firmly a seasoned veteran, Tyler’s career has only continued to go from strength to strength in recent years — particularly in the last 12 months.
Last year he dropped his eighth album Chromakopia, which topped the Billboard 200 with the highest first-week sales of his career (almost 300,000) while being named the second best rap album of 2024 by this very publication.
Tyler also hosted the 10th installment of his Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival and introduced his debut fashion collection with Louis Vuitton, which he described as a dream come true.
With a massive Chromakopia World Tour set to begin next month, 2025 is shaping up to be another big year.
