Cardi B was just slapped with a $1 million countersuit by a celebrity blogger she sued for defamation just two months ago.

According to The Blast, Latasha K., who runs a YouTube channel, unWinewithTashaK, with 500K followers, recently filed suit against the "Clout" rapper in federal court. Latasha is reportedly blaming Cardi for the "gang-related threats" she's received after the 26-year-old rapper allegedly blasted her online, which she claims caused Cardi fans to lodge death threats against her.

"Cardi B began to publicly defame Ms. Kebe, referring to her as 'this blogger lady,' by stating that Ms. Kebe makes up fake stories; harasses all of Cardi B’s friends; constantly stalks Cardi B; falsely claims that she has legitimate sources giving her information about Cardi B; uses Cardi B’s name for ‘click bait’; and many other false accusations," Latasha claims in court documents, obtained by The Blast.

In addition to allegedly receiving threats, the celebrity blogger claims she's had to permanently relocate her residence and has lost money from her business by losing subscribers and advertisers as a result of Cardi's words. Not to mention, Latasha is pregnant and said she is "suffering severe emotional distress, anxiety, panic, stress, insomnia, humiliation, and depression."

Back in March, Cardi sued Latasha and another vlogger by the name of Starmarie Ebony Jones after 14 months of the women allegedly making disparaging remarks against her. The two women allegedly claimed Cardi's daughter Kulture suffered "intellectual disabilities" because of her mom's drug use while pregnant.

It was those comments that appeared to be the final straw for the rapper who took to Instagram to address their remarks. "I'm gonna sue you for defamation of character because I let that b*tch play and talk sh*t about me, but when you talk sh*t about my daughter ..." Cardi said on Instagram Live. "B*tch you a whole f**king weirdo. A b*tch that's 40 years old and pregnant too, and then all you can do is talk sh*t about me, h*. F**k outta here."

In Cardi's defamation suit she also accused them of defaming her by calling her a prostitute and claiming she had herpes. Cardi is suing them for unspecified damages and wants an injunction ordering the videos to be taken down.
