‘Fearful and traumatized’ | Nicki Minaj sued by former employee over alleged assault on 2024 tour

A former employee of Nicki Minaj who acted as a manager on her Pink Friday 2 tour has alleged the rapper struck him multiple times.

The tour manager, Brandon Garrett, filed a lawsuit on Friday, January 3, accusing Minaj of assault and battery, as well as “intentional infliction of emotional distress.”

The artist’s legal team has refuted the allegations and said that the story as first reported by TMZ is inaccurate.

In a written statement to Variety, Minaj’s lawyer Judd Burstein wrote: “At this time, no complaint has been served upon Mrs Petty [Minaj’s husband is Kenneth Petty], and therefore we are unaware of the specific allegation.”
