At the moment, Tasha said she pulls in around $13k with her partner bringing in $17k for a grand total of $30k. She has two children to take care of.
The blogger said her monthly expenses total $22k leaving her household with $7k surplus every month. Tasha said she pulled in $134k in 2022 and $156k in 2021.
Cardi has yet to appear in the bankruptcy court. However, as we first reported, in the past couple of months, Cardi has ramped up collection efforts.
The rapper fired off subpoenas to Tasha’s bank and Google, where she makes money from her blog. Cardi was able to collect thousands — which did little to put a dent in the millions owed.
Last year, a Georgia jury found Tasha Cardi in videos posted to her YouTube channel. The rapper sued Tasha over allegations she had previously worked as an escort, had an STD, and used hard drugs.
The musician denied having been an escort in the past. She presented medical records to prove she did not have any STDs. Cardi testified in court the allegations caused her extreme emotional distress and caused problems with her marriage.
The jury awarded Cardi $1 million in general damages and $250k for medical expenses for a grand total of $1.25 million. In addition, she was awarded $1.5 million in punitive damages and another $1.3 million for her attorney fees.
