Cardi B Sues Tasha K Husband & Yelen Entertainment Over Alleged Asset Transfers
Court documents Tasha K and her husband flipped the entire “Unwine with Tasha K” empire to a brand-new company, rerouted every dollar, transferred property, and left the old judgment-proof shell behind — all while a federal judge had just warned them on the record not to play games. Cardi B is coming for the bag… and the man allegedly holding it.
The Cardi B vs. Tasha K drama just won’t come to an end.
On May 6, 2026, Grammy-winning superstar Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, professionally known as Cardi B dropped a new lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida
She’s suing Yelen Entertainment, LLC and Cheickna Kebe (Tasha K’s husband and alleged co-conspirator) to collect on two massive, still-unpaid defamation judgments from 2022.
Over $3.8 million combined plus years of accruing interest that Cardi B says the couple has been dodging through alleged fraudulent transfers, business flips, and income rerouting.
Back in January 2022, after a multi-week jury trial in Georgia federal court, the jury hit Tasha K (Latasha Transrina Kebe) and her old company Kebe Studios, LLC with a huge verdict for defamation, false light, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The judge, with Cheickna Kebe sitting right there as Kebe Studios’ corporate representative, specifically warned both of them not to transfer assets or change their financial condition to impede collection. The court even said moving stuff “into the names of third parties” could open them up to more tort actions.
Cheickna later testified under oath that he was “smart enough to understand a warning from a judge.”
Then the moves started, according to the lawsuit. On February 17, 2022, the original judgment was entered against Tasha K and Kebe Studios. Less than a month later, on March 10, Tasha K allegedly transferred her interest in the Georgia residential property to Cheickna via quitclaim deed with no real consideration.
Just a few months after that, on May 31, 2022, Cheickna formed Yelen Entertainment, LLC in Florida. From July 2022 onward, income from Tasha K’s platforms and “Tasha K Live” allegedly began shifting completely over to the new company. By April 2023, Kebe Studios had been dissolved, leaving it as an empty shell with the massive judgment still hanging over it and zero assets left to pay.
According to the complaint, this wasn’t an innocent business restructure. The lawsuit calls Yelen the “mere continuation” of Kebe Studios and wants it held fully liable for the $2.86 million judgment against the old company.
Then the moves started, according to the lawsuit. To shield Tasha K’s personal assets from her separate $3.36 million judgment, they allegedly rerouted her salary and earnings through Yelen’s accounts in structures specifically designed to frustrate garnishment.
They also removed her as an authorized user from bank accounts, stopped her from receiving direct payments, and transferred her interest in the Georgia property to Cheickna right after the judgment was entered.
Cheickna has admitted under oath these moves were made to help Tasha K avoid garnishment and paying Cardi B.
The Six Legal Claims Cardi B Is Bringing Against Yelen and Cheickna
Cardi B isn’t just suing — she’s coming with six serious legal claims under Florida law aimed at both Yelen Entertainment and Cheickna Kebe personally.
Here’s what she’s hitting them with:
- Actual Fraudulent Transfer: Cardi B alleges that Cheickna and Tasha K deliberately moved assets and the entire business to Yelen with the intent to hinder, delay, or defraud her as a creditor.
- Constructive Fraudulent Transfer: Even if they didn’t admit intent, the lawsuit claims the transfers were made without receiving reasonably equivalent value while Tasha K and Kebe Studios were insolvent or about to become insolvent.
- Successor Liability / Mere Continuation: Cardi B argues that Yelen Entertainment is basically Kebe Studios 2.0. Same business, same owner (Cheickna), same operations — just without the $2.86 million judgment. She wants the court to rule that Yelen should be held fully responsible for paying the old judgment.
- Alter Ego / Piercing the Corporate Veil: This is the one that could hurt Cheickna personally. Cardi B claims Yelen is just an alter ego of Cheickna — essentially his personal instrument with no real separation between him and the company. If successful, the court could go after Cheickna’s personal assets.
- Civil Conspiracy: The lawsuit alleges that Cheickna, Yelen, and Tasha K worked together in an agreement to strip assets and hide income specifically to stop Cardi B from collecting her judgment.
- Declaratory Relief + Constructive Trust: Cardi B is asking the court to officially declare the transfers fraudulent and to place a constructive trust over the assets, business operations, revenue streams, and any proceeds — so the money can eventually go toward paying her judgment.
Even though Tasha K filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2023, where the personal judgment was excepted from discharge, the bankruptcy court specifically preserved Cardi B’s right to file this action against these non-debtor third parties.
