In a shocking turn of events, Charles Polevich, the hit-and-run driver who caused the tragic death of Nicki Minaj's father, Robert Maraj, has made a surprising demand in the midst of a $150 million legal battle. According to RadarOnline, Polevich has requested that the rapper be questioned about her childhood, specifically regarding allegations of her father's abusive behavior towards her mother.
The incident in question took place in February 2021 when 64-year-old Robert Maraj was fatally struck by a vehicle while crossing a street in Long Island. Polevich, who was identified as the driver, fled the scene without calling for help. Instead, he went home and hid his car in the garage under a tarp.
Polevich showed remorse for his actions following his arrest and acknowledged the gravity of the tragedy. However, in August 2022, he was sentenced to one year in jail. In response, Carol Maraj, Nicki Minaj's mother, filed a $150 million civil lawsuit against Polevich, accusing him of reckless conduct that led to the death of her husband.
In a scathing statement, Carol's lawyer, Ben Crump, condemned Polevich's behavior as "criminal, cowardly, and immoral." He vowed to hold Polevich accountable for his actions. Polevich's legal representative, on the other hand, argued that the requested amount was excessive and stressed the need for a fair assessment of negligence.
In his formal response to the lawsuit, Polevich denied all allegations and instead shifted the blame onto Robert Maraj for supposedly crossing the street recklessly. The legal battle has now taken a new turn with Polevich's recent motion to depose Minaj, hoping to delve into her childhood and familial dynamics.
This is not the first time Minaj has been involved in a legal case. In a separate incident, a judge in Los Angeles County Superior Court has ordered Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty, to pay $503,318.02 following an altercation with a security guard at one of her concerts in Germany. The judgment was issued after neither Minaj nor Petty appeared in court on Friday, March 22.
According to the security guard, Thomas Weidenmuller, the incident occurred during Minaj's concert in Frankfurt in 2019. He claims that when he intervened in an argument between Minaj and one of his colleagues, Minaj threw a shoe at him. However, Weidenmuller alleges that it was Petty who struck him in the face, resulting in a broken jaw that required eight surgeries to repair. It remains to be seen how this case will unfold, but it adds yet another layer to the already contentious legal battle between Polevich and the Minaj family.
