Following a two-week trial that featured testimony from both women, the jury returned a verdict that Kebe was liable for defamation and two other forms of wrongdoing over her YouTube videos and other internet posts, Billboard reported.
The verdict awarded Cardi B $1.25 million in damages, but the total could potentially end up higher as proceedings take place to decide whether Kebe owes additional punitive damages, or if she must reimburse Cardi B’s legal expenses.
