Back in January, Nicki Minaj was sued by her former manager, Brandon Garrett, who accused her of striking him during her Pink Friday 2 tour.
The legal dispute is still ongoing, and now Garrett is claiming the “Super Freaky Girl” artist is interfering with the discovery process while also driving up his legal expenses.
According to MyNewsLA, Nicki’s responses to written questions submitted earlier this year allegedly “consisted entirely of vague, repetitive boilerplate objections and were devoid of any substantive information or answers.” His legal team is now pushing for her to pay close to $4,000 to cover the cost of the current motion.
As for the original lawsuit, Garrett claims the rapper lashed out at him during the 2024 tour after he allowed someone else to pick up a prescription she had specifically instructed him to handle.
“Are you f**king crazy having him pick up my prescription? You have lost your f**king mind,” she allegedly said at the time. “If my husband were here, he would knock out your f**king teeth.”
“You’re a dead man walking,” she allegedly added. “You just f**ked up your whole life.”
Garrett goes on to claim that Nicki Minaj then struck him in the face, alleging the impact was so forceful it snapped his neck back and knocked his hat off. Security was reportedly nearby and stepped in before things could escalate further.
According to Garrett, he later hid in a bathroom for several hours. When he eventually came out, he says he discovered that Nicki and her team had allegedly left him behind in Detroit.
Addressing the situation, Nicki’s attorney, Judd Burstein, previously responded to the claims. “We are unaware of the specific allegations,” he said before she was officially served. “However, if the lawsuit is as reported by TMZ, it is completely false and frivolous. We are confident that the matter brought by this ex assistant will be resolved swiftly in Mrs. Petty’s favor.”
