The accuser is suing Nicki Minaj for assault, battery, and “intentional infliction of emotional distress.” According to them, she used some very demeaning words and even made some threats she was probably in a position to make good on. Keep reading to learn the details of the offending encounter and the case the plaintiff is making.

Who Is Suing Nicki Minaj?

Nicki Minaj is being sued by her former tour manager. According to court documents, his name is Brandon Garrett and he filed a lawsuit against Minaj in LA’s Superior Court on Friday, January 3. The lawsuit contains allegations that paint the female rapper as a tyrant. 

It began with Garrett filing an official police report in Detroit. Now that it has become a court case, his attorneys want punitive and exemplary damages as well as general damages.

What Is Nicki Minaj’s Lawsuit About?

In his lawsuit, Garrett alleges that while he was a day-to-day manager during Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 tour, he had a confrontation with the rapper that saw her berate and hit him.

The alleged altercation happened backstage at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on April 21, 2024, after Minaj’s concert had ended. Garett’s legal team claims in the complaint that he was headed to the arena that day when Minaj’s head of security, Larry Dathan, texted him. Dathan wanted him to speak with Minaj in her dressing room.

According to Garrett, eight people from Minaj’s staff were present in the dressing room when he arrived, including another employee named Luke Montgomery. In the court documents, he claims Minaj complained about some of the staff members “not knowing what they are supposed to do, and who reports to who.” Then she turned her attention to Montgomery, asking what his position was. 

“Mr. Montgomery explained that his duties entailed tasks like venue dressing room set-up, private jet set-up, hotel room set-up, quick change room refreshments, and tour bus set-up,” the suit states. “Mr. Montgomery mentioned these duties were in addition to any requests from [Minaj] communicated by [Garrett], including food orders, drinks, personal items, baby items, and, most notably, prescriptions.”

What Is Nicki Getting Sued For?

According to the lawsuit, Garrett told Minaj that he had Montgomery pick up the prescriptions because he was busy with tour responsibilities, which included assisting the rapper with costume changes during her concerts.

In response to his statement, Garrett claims Minaj became “visibly upset” and “angrily screamed” at him. “Are you f—— crazy having him pick up my prescription? You have lost your f—— mind, and if my husband [Kenneth Petty] were here, he would knock out your f—— teeth. You’re a dead man walking. You just f—– up your whole life, and you will never be anyone; I’ll make sure of it.”

The rapper also allegedly yelled at Montgomery, asking him to look through his phone to find the exact medications that he had picked up for her. But she was not done. Garrett adds that Nicki Minaj then turned her attention back to him and “got very close to his face.”

“At this point, [Minaj] open-handedly struck [Garrett] on the right side of his face, causing his head to swing backward as his hat flew off his head,” the complaint reads. His attorneys also state that he was hit in his right wrist, leaving it “throbbing.”

After the incident, Garrett reportedly locked himself in a bathroom for several hours. He also received a text message informing him his appointment would not be renewed for the next tour stop.

Has Nicki Minaj Been Found Guilty?

Nicki Minaj’s lawyer, Judd Burstein, has said that she has not yet received the complaint. However, she has also denied the allegations.

“At this time, no complaint has been served upon [Minaj], and therefore, we are unaware of the specific allegations,” the statement states. “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.”
