August 25th 2024.
Nicki Minaj is currently facing a lawsuit from one of her devoted fans. The singer, whose real name is Onika Tanya Maraj, is no stranger to controversy and has been involved in several celebrity feuds, including one with Megan The Stallion. With a massive following of 28.1 million on X and 228 million on Instagram, Nicki is known for her bold and outspoken personality.
The legal battle began when the fan, Tameer Peak, filed a lawsuit against Nicki in L.A. Superior Court, accusing her of being a bully. In his lawsuit, Tameer claims to have been a dedicated follower of Nicki for the past 15 years and even helped promote her most recent album, Pink Friday 2. However, things took a turn in 2017 when the so-called "Nicki hate train" started, and Nicki began turning against her own fans. Tameer alleges that Nicki accused him of being a mole paid to sabotage her career.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, Tameer also claims that Nicki ridiculed him on multiple occasions, including inviting him to her hotel, only to embarrass him on social media. In another alleged instance, Nicki's husband, Kenneth Petty, is accused of physically assaulting Tameer during Super Bowl weekend in 2020. And just this year, Tameer received messages from people close to Nicki, asking him to stop saying negative things about her.
It's unclear exactly what Tameer had said about Nicki, but he references a live stream she did on X where she allegedly called him mentally unstable and a stalker. He also claims that she made derogatory comments about him living on welfare assistance. Tameer is seeking $5 million in damages for reputational harm, emotional distress, and financial loss.
This is not the first time Nicki has found herself involved in legal drama. In March, she and Kenneth were ordered to pay a security guard $500,000 after he was allegedly attacked by Kenneth backstage, resulting in a broken jaw. Kenneth has a criminal record, including a 1994 rape conviction in New York, and failing to register as a sex offender in California.
Nicki and Kenneth have a four-year-old son, who they refer to as Papa Bear. However, it is unclear if that is the child's legal name. It seems that Nicki is no stranger to feuds and legal battles, with her most recent one being with Megan earlier this year. As of now, Nicki has not responded to the lawsuit filed by Tameer.
