American rapper Cardi B is taking legal action against two vloggers for defaming her.

The 'Bodak Yellow' hitmaker has accused Latasha Kebe and Starmarie Ebony Jones of "trying to tarnish" her name and "spread lies" after allegedly making "defamatory statements" about her.

According to TMZ, Cardi opted to take legal action after the women refused to retract their statements, and she is also seeking an injunction to delete the videos they posted.

The 'Invasion of Privacy' hitmaker later opened up about the lawsuit on Instagram saying they were trying to "tarnish" her name but has since deleted her statement.
