Cardi B has made it clear that she intends on getting every dime owed to her by Tasha K — and now, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper claims that the disgraced blogger is going so far as to hide assets in order to prevent collection efforts.
According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, Cardi B’s attorneys have ordered the courts to compel Patricia Haynes to comply with recent subpoenas against her, which she is allegedly trying to dodge. The attorneys claim that Haynes has information about offshore accounts established by the Unwine with Tasha K host and her husband, which she allegedly failed to disclose in her initial Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.

Aside from Cardi B wanting to collect the money owed to her by any means necessary, Tasha K’s alleged failure to disclose assets is a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 152, which details the penalties of debtors who “knowingly and fraudulently conceals from a custodian, trustee, marshal, or other officer of the court charged with the control or custody of property, or, in connection with a case under title 11, from creditors or the United States Trustee, any property belonging to the estate of a debtor.”
Hiding assets during a bankruptcy proceeding is a federal offense, and if Cardi B can prove that Tasha K was, in fact, knowingly failing to disclose the true extent of her assets, the disgraced blogger could face criminal fines and a federal prison sentence of up to five years.

The “Up” rapper first ramped up her efforts to collect against Tasha K last month. According to court documents obtained by HipHopDX, Cardi B was demanding information on all of Tasha K’s assets, including a home in Georgia, and all the cash she currently has on hand.
Additional documents also viewed by HipHopDX confirm that the blogger (real name LaTasha Kebe) has nearly $30,000 of cash in hand and that she spends more than $20,000 a month on things like travel, fine dining, and other forms of entertainment.
The filing comes in the wake of a similar lawsuit filed against the Unwine with Tasha K host by comedian Kevin Hart, who sued the blogger and his former assistant for extortion after she released an interview with Hart’s former assistant who claimed that the comedy star cheated on his wife.
Hart alleged that Tasha K demanded money to stop the interview from being released.

The new subpoenas initiated by Cardi’s team are a follow-up to the ones sent over the summer, when the Bronx rapper sent subpoenas to all five of Tasha’s current banking institutions, demanding the companies turn over information about her finances.
She also requested “all documents and communications received by or sent to third parties other than the Debtor, including but not limited to the Internal Revenue Service, regarding the Debtor’s finances employment, income, expenses, businesses or business interests.”
