Nicki Minaj’s Lawyer Responds to Slander Lawsuit from Disgruntled Fan
Nicki Minaj’s lawyer is firing back at a fan who has sued the rap superstar for slander, claiming that the fan is simply trying to extort money from her with false allegations. The fan, Tameer Peak, has been a devoted supporter of Minaj for 15 years, but their relationship allegedly soured during a period of negativity in Minaj’s career.
Peak’s lawsuit details several instances in which he claims Minaj publicly humiliated and mistreated him, including an incident where Minaj allegedly invited him to her hotel room only to ridicule him on Instagram Live in front of thousands of viewers. The lawsuit also accuses Minaj’s husband of physically assaulting Peak at a Super Bowl weekend event in 2020, an incident that Minaj reportedly acknowledged in a direct message to Peak.
Peak is seeking $5 million in damages for reputational harm, emotional distress, and financial loss as a result of Minaj’s actions. Minaj’s lawyer, Judd Burstein, has responded by calling Peak’s claims “manifestly false” and “legally frivolous,” and has warned that Peak will be forced to pay Minaj’s legal fees as required by California law.
This legal battle between Minaj and her fan highlights the complexities of fan-celebrity relationships and the potential for misunderstandings and conflicts to arise. It remains to be seen how this lawsuit will play out in court and what impact it will have on Minaj’s reputation and career.
