Nicki Minaj is facing a lawsuit filed by Brandon Garrett, who claims to have served as her manager during her 2024 tour. Garrett alleges that the rapper physically assaulted him and caused emotional distress following an incident after her April concert in Detroit.

The Alleged Incident

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the lawsuit, represented by high-profile attorney Thomas Feher, outlines an explosive confrontation that allegedly took place in Minaj’s dressing room. Garrett states that after being sent on an errand post-concert, he was summoned back into the dressing room, where Minaj was meeting with her team.

Garrett claims that the 42-year-old rapper became enraged upon learning he had previously delegated the task of picking up her prescription to someone else. In the lawsuit, Garrett recounts Minaj’s alleged outburst, during which she reportedly shouted, “Are you fing crazy having him pick up my prescription? You have lost your fing mind and if my husband were here, he would knock out your fing teeth. You’re a dead man walking. You just fed up your whole life, and you will never be anyone. I’ll make sure of it.”

Nicki Minaj’s attorney, Judd Burstein, is firing back at allegations made by her former day-to-day manager, Brandon Garrett, who has filed a lawsuit accusing the rapper of assault, battery, and emotional abuse.

Burstein issued a statement on behalf of Nicki, saying, “At this time, no complaint has been served upon Mrs. Petty, and therefore, we are unaware of the specific allegations. 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.”

MOVING FORWARD

This case highlights the complexities and high stakes of working relationships in the entertainment industry. As the legal proceedings continue, it remains to be seen how both parties will navigate the public and legal scrutiny surrounding these allegations. Garrett’s claims and Minaj’s potential defense will undoubtedly draw widespread attention as the situation develops.
