Trinidadian rapper and singer-songwriter Nicki Minaj’s former manager Brandon Garrett has suing the rapper, alleging that the rapper physically assaulted him backstage at a show in Detroit in April 2024, as per a guy claims to TMZ.
Nicki Minaj faces lawsuit by former manager
According to the lawsuit, Garrett was physically upset and his hat was knocked off after a verbal altercation that was followed by a hard slap. Minaj’s attorney has responded by calling the allegations “false and frivolous.”
Former manager Garrett had once asked someone else to pick up Minaj’s prescriptions as per the outlet. He described the incident, accusing the Barbie World singer of angrily shouting, “Are you out of your mind having him pick up my prescription? You’ve completely lost it, and if my husband were here, he’d knock your teeth out.” She reportedly added, “You’re finished. You’ve ruined your life, and I’ll make sure you never amount to anything.”
Then, according to Garrett, Minaj slapped him across the right side of his face and declared that his “life was over.” The lawsuit claims that his hat flew off due to the intensity of the blow. The paperwork apparently fell out of his hand when she hit him on the wrist, scattering them.
The former tour worker goes on to say that the encounter left him traumatized and frightened, and that he spent hours trapped in a restroom out of concern for his safety.
