The daily manager asserted that the ‘Pinkprint’ artist “freely hit” him after he assigned another staff member to obtain her prescription.
Nicki Minaj appears to be kicking off the year with certain legal problems. On Friday (Jan. 3), Billboard stated, “Nicki Minaj is facing a lawsuit for assault from a man who alleges that the rapper attacked him physically after a concert in Detroit last April, based on documents submitted in Los Angeles Superior Court.”
The legal action claimed that her ex-manager, Brandon Garrett, alleged that Minaj assaulted him, striking him several times backstage on April 21, after he asked another tour staffer to fetch her prescription for him. Upon discovering, Garrett remarked that Minaj replied, “Are you f**king insane for having him collect my prescription?” You have completely lost your mind, and if my husband were present, he would knock out your teeth. You’re a man doomed to die. “You’ve completely ruined your life, and you’ll never achieve anything; I’ll see to that.”
The complaint additionally stated that Minaj “struck openly” Garrett on his face and wrist before telling him to leave the room. Soon after, Garrett stated that he had locked himself in the bathroom for several hours before getting a text saying he wouldn’t be able to take the tour bus from Detroit to Chicago. Following his flight to the upcoming tour destination, he promptly reached out to the Chicago Police Department for an escort, stating, “He was concerned for his safety and was unsure if his possessions had been taken or altered.”
Billboard additionally stated that Minaj’s attorney, Judd Burnstein, conveyed, “Currently, no complaint has been delivered to Mrs. Petty, and thus, we do not know the exact allegations.” Nevertheless, if the legal action is as reported by TMZ, it is entirely untrue and without merit. We believe that the issue raised by this former assistant will be quickly settled in Mrs. Petty’s favor.
Minaj’s spouse, Kenneth Petty, has a background of public threats and legal issues. In 2023, he received a 120-day house arrest sentence after a court in the Central District of California determined that he breached his probation conditions by threatening Offset online. The spouse of the Sagittarius rapper has been a target of mockery on social media because of his legal troubles.
