Last month it was revealed that rapper Cardi B tracked down gossip vlogger Tasha K's accountant, leading to the discovery of the offshore bank accounts and secret trusts Tasha allegedly created to avoid paying the $4 million judgment awarded to Cardi after successfully suing Tasha for defamation [click here if you missed that].
Apparently the discovery also revealed that Tasha's husband may the one who's actually hiding the money...

According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, the rapper asked the court to compel Tasha’s husband Cheickna Kebe to turn over emails she believes could hold vital information.
In her new motion, Cardi explained she served Tasha’s husband with a notice in July 2023 that asked him to produce documents. She said he objected to nearly every request. His lawyer said the documents had already been produced by Tasha.
Cardi said she recently deposed Alicia Thomas, an accountant who worked for Tasha’s husband. Cardi said she discovered the existence of an email address actively used by Mr. Kebe to conduct business. She said this email address had not been previously disclosed despite him being asked to reveal ALL email addresses he used.
In addition, she said it is particularly troubling since the email address seems related to one of the trusts the couple created that was not initially disclosed.
“The discovery of this undisclosed email address lays bare Mr. Kebe’s contempt for the subpoena and this Court. In keeping with the Kebe’s conduct throughout these proceedings, Mr. Kebe deliberately withheld documents and communications that are responsive to the subpoena for 2004 examination he first received on July 19, 2023,” Cardi’s lawyer wrote.
Further, her legal team claimed to have discovered the existence of a previously undisclosed company owned by Mr. Kebe — IBSM Technolgie LLC while running a business records check related to another previously undisclosed business of Debtor called Stash Media Works LLC.”
Cardi said the company was created approximately one month after Tasha filed for bankruptcy. Her lawyer said, "More importantly, Mr. Kebe was asked about what companies he owns, and he failed to disclose the existence of IBSM even though he had only created it approximately two months prior to" him being asked.
The motion added, "Both Debtor and Mr. Kebe made clear as they admitted under oath that they were moving assets and funds from Debtor to Mr. Kebe in an effort to avoid the Defamation Judgment and garnishment of Debtor’s income. Post-petition, Debtor and Mr. Kebe’s effort to conceal Debtor’s true income by filtering it through Mr. Kebe’s companies is laid bare in the latest Amended Plan and will be addressed separately in an objection to confirmation. Put simply, Debtor’s Plan shows Debtor intends to continue her bad faith efforts to suppress the true amount of her income in an effort to hinder and delay [Cardi's] collection efforts."
A judge has yet to rule on Cardi's motion.
