CARDI B won more than $1.25M in a lawsuit against YouTuber Tasha K, who made "false and malicious claims" about the rapper.

The vlogger made several videos alleging that Cardi B contracted herpes, among other rumors.

According to Billboard, a federal jury sided with the WAP rapper, 29, in her lawsuit alleging that Tasha K, whose real name is Latasha Kebe, launched a "malicious campaign" to damage her reputation.

The jury found that the YouTuber defamed Cardi B, and awarded her more than $1 million in damages.

The verdict came down after a two-week trial featuring testimony from Cardi B and Tasha K.

She was found liable for defamation and two other forms of wrongdoing related to her YouTube videos and internet posts.

Tasha K alleged, among other things, that Cardi B contracted herpes.

Cardi B was awarded $1.25 million and could potentially receive even more.

Proceedings will begin on Tuesday to decide whether Tasha K could wind up paying more in punitive damages, or whether she should be ordered to pay Cardi B's legal expenses.

In other videos, Tasha K claimed Card B contracted herpes, was a prostitute, had cheated on husband Offset, and had done hard drugs.

The trial between the two women began on January 10 in Georgia federal court.
