She was found liable by the jury and directed to pay $4 million in damages.[5] Tasha K later filed for bankruptcy,[11] however Cardi B alleged that Tasha K kept offshore accounts,[12][13] and the judge ruled that Tasha K pay Cardi B damages regardless of the bankruptcy claim.[14][15] She later apologized to Cardi B.[16][17]

Kevin Hart filed a lawsuit against Tasha K for defamation and extortion, relating to Tasha K's publication of an interview with Hart's former secretary.[18][19] In January 2024 the judge rejected Hart's request for a temporary restraining order to force Tasha K to take the interview down.[6]

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and Tasha K were sued by singer R. Kelly for in a case that he alleged the BOP sold his digital prison records, including his phone calls to Tasha K.[20] Kelly's lawyers alleged negligence, invasion of privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, civil theft, civil conspiracy, and violation of the computer fraud and Abuse Act.[21] The Department of Justice's investigation found that at least 60 officers accessed his records, with one officer allegedly providing them to Tasha K.[7] Kelly claims the leaks included recordings of his phone calls with his legal team and girlfriend, which left him isolated and fearful to communicate with his attorneys.[22]

Soulja Boy sued Tasha K and reality star William The Baddest for defamation, violation of privacy, amongst other allegations over homosexual allegations they spread about him.[23][24] Although Soulja Boy vehemently denied the allegations,[25][26] on Tasha K's podcast, William The Baddest claimed that he had a sexual encounter with Soulja Boy, describing explicit details.[27][28]

Tasha K won in a $360 million lawsuit brought by Bishop Lamor Whitehead, known as "Pastor Bling Bling".[29] Whitehead sued her for defamation and invasion of privacy over claims she made on her podcast, Unwine With Tasha K, regarding his purchase of a $2 million mansion with just $10.[30] The court ruled that Tasha K's statements were not defamatory and that some were likely accurate.[31]
