Nicki Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty, are in hot water over an assault lawsuit they failed to respond to, potentially costing them a hefty $500,000. Let’s dive into what went down.
The drama started when a security guard named Thomas Weidenmuller sued the power couple for an alleged assault during one of Nicki’s concerts in Germany back in 2019. Weidenmuller claimed that Petty punched him in the face, while Nicki hurled insults, all stemming from a fan breaching security and getting onstage.
Despite the seriousness of the lawsuit, Nicki’s hubby proved his loyalty during a recent livestream by flawlessly rapping her lyrics. It’s clear he’s a devoted Barb, even if he stumbled on a few words.
But back to the legal drama. Weidenmuller went ahead and motioned for a default judgment last April when Nicki and Petty didn’t respond. Fast forward nearly a year later, and boom, the judgment was granted.
In simpler terms: Nicki and her man didn’t address the lawsuit, and now they’re facing the consequences in the form of a hefty bill. Ouch.
This isn’t the first legal issue the couple has faced, either. Remember that sexual assault lawsuit? Nicki was recently dropped as a co-defendant in that one, but it seems legal troubles keep finding their way to the rapper’s doorstep.
Let’s hope Nicki and Kenneth can navigate these legal waters smoothly. But hey, at least we know Kenneth has Nicki’s lyrics down pat, right?
