  • Nicki Minaj Sued Over $275K in Concert Bills

    It looks like Nicki Minaj is in hot water again, this time over unpaid bills related to her ‘Pink Friday 2’ album and its accompanying concerts. A production company is suing the rapper, claiming she owes them a significant amount for services rendered.

    The Lawsuit Details

    According to legal filings obtained by TMZ, 24/7 Productions has filed a lawsuit against both Nicki Minaj and her company, Pink Friday Productions. The company alleges that Minaj failed to pay back production costs totaling over $275,000. These services reportedly began with her performance at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards and continued through her concerts for the ‘Pink Friday 2’ release in December 2023, including Jingle Ball performances.

    24/7 Productions claims they fronted the costs for essential elements like audio, lighting, and on-site management, expecting reimbursement after the events. The situation is particularly contentious as reports suggest Minaj’s team approved the logistical budgets for these shows, and she herself reportedly earned around $650,000 from the Jingle Ball gigs alone.

    Attempts at Resolution and Past Issues

    Before heading to court, 24/7 Productions reportedly attempted to settle the outstanding balance with Minaj’s team. However, they claim to have only received vague responses from her management, prompting them to take legal action for breach of contract.

    This isn’t the first time Minaj has faced financial legal troubles. Earlier this year, she settled a debt exceeding half a million dollars to prevent the forced sale of her $20 million Los Angeles mansion. This history adds another layer to the current lawsuit, as 24/7 Productions seeks to recover the money owed, plus additional damages.

    What’s Next?

    The lawsuit accuses Nicki Minaj of breach of contract. The outcome will likely depend on the evidence presented regarding the agreements made and the payments (or lack thereof) that followed. As the case progresses, it highlights the importance of clear financial agreements and timely payments within the demanding music industry.

  • Nicki Minaj Sued for $275K Over ‘Pink Friday 2’ Events

    It seems like Nicki Minaj is facing another legal battle, this time with a production company claiming they are owed a substantial amount for their work on her 2023 album, ‘Pink Friday 2.’ 24/7 Productions has filed a lawsuit alleging breach of contract and seeking over $275,000.

    The Production Company’s Claims

    According to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ, 24/7 Productions states their professional relationship with Minaj began back in 2022 at the MTV Video Music Awards. The collaboration reportedly intensified in 2023 when Minaj enlisted their help for promotional events surrounding her album launch and iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball.

    The production company claims they were responsible for extensive planning, including budget proposals, on-site management, staffing, audio, lighting, rigging, transportation, and overall logistics. They assert that they advanced $275,000 of their own funds to get these preparations underway.

    Allegations of Unpaid Dues

    24/7 Productions alleges that despite Minaj earning a significant sum, reportedly $650,000 from her Jingle Ball performances alone, they have not been repaid for their upfront investment. When they reportedly reached out to Minaj’s team for resolution, the response was allegedly, “We’ll look into this.”

    Minaj’s Team Responds

    As of now, Nicki Minaj herself has not publicly commented on the lawsuit. However, Alex Bruesewitz, a senior advisor to Donald Trump and an ally of Minaj, took to X (formerly Twitter) to deny the allegations. He posted, “Another day, another TMZ lie about @NICKIMINAJ. This is completely false!”

    Minaj’s close association with the Trump administration has been a point of discussion and controversy among her fanbase. She has actively engaged in promoting right-wing political viewpoints and has been involved in public exchanges with figures like California Governor Gavin Newsom, particularly regarding social issues.
