Nicki Minaj Sued for Battery by Ex-Manager, Rapper Calls Lawsuit ‘Frivolous’
6:57 PM PT — Nicki’s lawyer Judd Burstein tells TMZ … “At this time, no complaint has been served upon Mrs. Petty, and therefore, we are unaware of the specific allegations. However, if the lawsuit is as reported by TMZ, it is completely false and frivolous. We are confident that the matter brought by this ex assistant will be resolved swiftly in Mrs. Petty’s favor.”
Nicki Minaj exploded on her day-to-day manager and hit him in the face so hard she knocked his head back and sent his hat flying … at least according to a new lawsuit.
The “Starships” rapper is being sued by a man named Brandon Garrett, who claims he was working as Nicki’s manager during her tour earlier this year when she got physical with him.
In the lawsuit, filed by high-powered trial attorney Thomas Feher and obtained by TMZ, Garrett claims Nicki sent him on an errand after her April 2024 concert in Detroit … and when he got back he was summoned to her dressing room.
Garrett claims Nicki was inside with other members of her team and she started grilling folks about their job responsibilities. He says she flew into a rage when she learned Garrett had once sent someone else to pick up one of her prescriptions.
In the suit, Garrett claims Nicki screamed at him, “Are you f***ing crazy having him pick up my prescription? You have lost your f***ing mind and if my husband were here, he would knock out your f***ing teeth. You’re a dead man walking. You just f***ed up your whole life and you will never be anyone, I’ll make sure of it.”
Garrett claims Nicki kept screaming at him and told him his “life was over” before striking him on the right side of his face with an open hand. He says the force of the blow caused his head to swing backward and his hat flew off his head.
Nicki’s security team then allegedly swarmed in close to Garrett, and he claims Nicki struck him on his right wrist, knocking documents in his hand onto the floor.
Garrett claims Nicki then told him to “get the f*** out” and he says he grabbed his hat and quickly exited the room … locking himself inside a restroom at Little Caesars Arena.
He says his wrist was throbbing and his face was sore as he called his fiancée to let her know what happened … claiming he stayed locked in the restroom for hours out of fear for his safety.
Garrett claims Nicki’s team didn’t let him on the tour bus back to the tour’s base in Chicago … leaving him stranded in Detroit.
He’s suing Nicki for assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress … and he’s going after her for damages.
We reached out to Nicki’s camp … so far no word back.

Nicki Minaj is facing a new lawsuit from an alleged former employee who claims the “Super Bass” artist smacked him in the face at a concert venue in Detroit last April.
In his 10-page complaint filed Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, plaintiff Brandon Jovan Garrett claims he was working for Minaj as a “day to day manager” when Minaj’s head of security summoned him to the singer’s dressing room at the Little Caesars Arena for a meeting. Garrett alleges Minaj was upset, lamenting her belief that her staff was in disarray, and claims Minaj’s irritation turned into “rage” when one of her employees defended his performance by saying he carried out important duties such as picking up Minaj’s prescriptions. According to the lawsuit, Minaj expressed anger that Garrett had assigned the task to the other employee. Garrett says he tried in vain to explain that Minaj had asked that the prescription be picked up “immediately,” and that Garrett had no choice but to delegate the task because he was busy assisting Minaj in her quick-change room, dressing her for her performance.

“Are you fucking crazy having him pick up my prescription? You have lost your fucking mind, and if my husband was here, he would knock out your fucking teeth. You’re a dead man walking. You just fucked up your whole life and you will never be anyone, I’ll make sure of it,” Minaj allegedly screamed at Garrett, according to his lawsuit obtained by Rolling Stone.
Garrett claims Minaj then “abruptly stood up, stomped her feet and walked aggressively” toward him while continuing to berate him. He claims she then “open-handedly struck” him on the right side of his face, “causing his head to swing backwards and his hat to fly off of his head.” He alleges Minaj also struck him on his right wrist, knocking documents out of his hand.
Attempts to reach a representative for Minaj were not immediately successful late Friday.
The lawsuit claims the alleged assault took place on April 21, 2024, shortly after a performance. Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 tour had a show at the Little Caesars Arena on April 20. According to reports, someone in the audience hurled an object onstage that nearly hit Minaj while she sang her megahit “Starships” that night. Minaj reportedly responded by launching the object back into the crowd.
In his lawsuit, Garrett claims that after Minaj allegedly attacked him, he fled and locked himself in a bathroom until 4 a.m. He later reported the alleged assault to police and eventually flew back to Los Angeles, where he lives. The new lawsuit names Minaj, born Onika Maraj, and her company Pink Personality as the lead defendants. It includes claims of assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress as it seeks real and punitive damages to be determined at trial.
The new complaint isn’t the first time Minaj has been accused of getting physical with someone while on tour. Last March, the artist and her husband were ordered to pay a $500,000 default judgment to a security guard over an alleged backstage beating at a 2019 concert in Germany.
