Rapper Megan Thee Stallion won a defamation lawsuit against blogger Tasha K (Latasha Kebe) regarding false claims Kebe made about Megan having herpes and other allegations. A jury awarded Megan over $1.5 million in damages, including compensation for emotional distress and reputational harm. The lawsuit stemmed from Kebe’s YouTube videos and social media posts where she spread malicious rumors about Megan. The verdict was seen as a victory for Megan, who testified about the emotional toll the false statements took on her, and as a potential deterrent against online defamation targeting public figures.
