Nicki Minaj Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged Backstage Assault on Former Manager

Brandon Garrett claims the rapper physically assaulted him during her Detroit tour stop in 2024, while Minaj's legal team denies the allegations.

Brandon Garrett, Nicki Minaj's former day-to-day manager, has filed a lawsuit accusing the rapper of assault, battery, and emotional distress after an incident during her Pink Friday 2 tour in Detroit in April 2024.
Garrett alleges that Minaj struck him in the face and wrist during a backstage confrontation over task assignments, causing him physical and emotional harm.
Minaj's legal team has dismissed the lawsuit as 'false and frivolous,' stating they are confident the matter will be resolved in her favor.
