Nicki Minaj, one of the biggest names in the rap industry, has recently found herself in the middle of a legal battle. It all started when Brandon Garrett, who claims to have been Minaj's manager during her Pink Friday 2 Tour last year, filed a lawsuit against the superstar. According to TMZ, Garrett's attorney, Thomas Feher, has alleged that Minaj physically assaulted him backstage at her concert in Detroit in April 2024. The lawsuit also includes charges of battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Garrett claims that Minaj asked him to run an errand for her, and when he returned to her dressing room, she started questioning him and her team about their job roles. Things quickly escalated when Garrett mentioned that he had once instructed someone else to pick up Minaj's prescription. In a fit of rage, Minaj reportedly yelled at him and even threatened him, saying that he would never be anyone and that her husband would knock his teeth out. And then, without warning, she allegedly struck Garrett on the face with her open hand, causing his head to whip back and his hat to fly off.
According to Garrett, the force of the blow was so strong that his face was left sore, and his wrist started throbbing. Her security team then surrounded him, and Minaj ordered him to leave her dressing room. In fear for his safety, Garrett locked himself in a small bathroom for hours before eventually being left stranded in Detroit when he was not allowed back onto Minaj's tour bus.
In response to the lawsuit, Minaj's lawyer, Judd Burstein, has stated that they have not yet received any official complaint and are unaware of the specific allegations. He also called the lawsuit "completely false and frivolous" and claimed that Garrett was not Minaj's manager. Burstein is confident that Minaj will come out victorious in this legal battle.
Minaj, who is often referred to as the Queen of Rap, had a successful Pink Friday 2 World Tour last year, which spanned across three continents and consisted of 79 shows. However, she did have to cancel three shows in June due to unforeseen circumstances. One of the shows was cancelled because Minaj was arrested at the airport for possession of marijuana. She was later fined and released but was unable to make it to her show in the UK on time, resulting in its rescheduling.
Despite the legal drama, Minaj continues to reign over the rap world and is loved by millions of fans worldwide. And as always, she remains unapologetically herself, standing up for what she believes in and not letting anyone bring her down.
