A recent legal battle involving famous rapper Nicki Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty has resulted in a default judgment of $500,000 for the couple to pay. As reported by TMZ, the dispute began with an alleged physical altercation between a security guard and the couple at one of Minaj's concerts in Germany. The judgment was issued by a judge in the L.A. County Superior Court after neither Minaj nor Petty showed up for their court date on March 22.
The incident in question took place in 2019, when Thomas Weidenmuller, a security guard working at Minaj's concert in Frankfurt, claimed that Petty punched him in the jaw after a disagreement between Minaj and another security guard. Weidenmuller stated that Minaj was arguing with the guard, and when he tried to intervene, she allegedly threw a shoe at him. However, it was Petty who ended up hitting Weidenmuller, causing him to suffer a broken jaw. The security guard had to undergo eight surgeries to fix the injury.
According to Complex, Weidenmuller filed a lawsuit against Minaj and Petty for $753,000, seeking compensation for the damage and harm he suffered on that fateful night. He alleged that a fan had managed to get past the security barricade and onto the stage while Minaj was performing, and she became upset about it. After the show ended, Minaj and her husband confronted the security team about the incident.
Weidenmuller claimed that Minaj called a female security guard derogatory names and that he had stepped in to remove her from the situation. He then went to Minaj's dressing room to try to resolve the issue, but he was met with aggression from Petty, who allegedly attacked him. Weidenmuller also accused Minaj of ordering her husband to assault him.
In the end, the court ruled in favor of Weidenmuller, and Minaj and Petty were ordered to pay $503,318.02 as a result of the altercation. However, the couple did not show up to court to defend themselves, resulting in a default judgment being issued against them. This legal battle serves as a reminder to always handle disputes in a peaceful and respectful manner, as violence only leads to consequences and financial loss.
