Nicki Minaj's Lawyers Say She Still Owes Them $295,000
Key Points:
- Nicki Minaj's former law firm, Gordon Recs Scully Mansukhani, filed a renewed request for default judgment seeking $295,605 in unpaid legal fees related to a copyright infringement case, claiming she breached their agreement by not responding to their lawsuit.
- The copyright case involved allegations that Minaj's song "I Lied" copied elements from Julius Johnson's "onmysleeve," but it was settled privately and dismissed.
- The law firm's request for payment coincided with Minaj's public appearance at a New Hampshire polling station supporting Trump-endorsed Republican Anthony DiLorenzo, highlighting her recent political alignment with former President Donald Trump.
- Minaj has recently shown strong support for Trump, including appearing with him at a rally in Michigan where she led chants and engaged in a mock press secretary interview aboard Air Force One.
- Despite Minaj's backing, the midterm elections resulted in significant losses for Trump and his allies, with Democrats gaining control of both the House and Senate.
