Looks like Nicki Minaj’s barbie mobile was green when luck was on her side to be denied for an arrest warrant. The warrant was denied due to a lack of evidence after the former manager pressed charges claiming she physically attacked him. TMZ stated, “A spokesperson for the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office tells TMZ … they have reviewed the warrant request from the Detroit Police Department but have chosen to deny it due to “insufficient evidence” proving a crime had been committed.
Brandon Garret, Minaj’s former manager, states otherwise in his lawsuit. Garret explained, she went into an egregious physical episode toward him in Detroit back in April 2024 during the Pink Friday 2 tour because of an errand for her personal prescriptions. Garret stated that Minaj allegedly struck him so hard in the head his hat flew off! Garret also claims she knocked documents out of his hand as he was surrounded by her security. Garret explains he was fearful of his safety as Minaj promised him his life was over… In the lawsuit, Garrett claims that Minaj “angrily screamed” at him: “Are you f— crazy having him pick up my prescription? You have lost your f— mind, and if my husband [Kenneth Petty] were here, he would knock out your f— teeth. You’re a dead man walking. You just f— up your whole life, and you will never be anyone, I’ll make sure of it.”
Garret proceeds to sue Nicki Minaj for assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress according to TMZ… Minaj’s lawyer commented that this is a frivolous and false lawsuit, and all the allegations are false. Will the Queen get out of this conviction thing?

Over the past few years Nicki Minaj has seen her fair share of battles in the rap arena as she’s taken on the likes of Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion and even Latto. But now The Barbz will be gearing up for an entirely new kind of dogfight as she faces off against her ex-manager in a court of law.
According to TMZ, Nicki’s former day-to-day manager Brandon Garrett has filed a lawsuit against the “Super Freaky Girl” rapper alleging that she physically assaulted him while he was on her team and helping her handle her business. In the lawsui, Garrett says that while they were in Detroit on tour in April of 2024, Nicki summoned him to her dressing room after sending him on an errand. That’s when the incident occurred, allegedly.
TMZ reports:
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.
Garrett then says that after he got the paws put on him, Nicki’s security team swarmed in around him before Nicki struck his right wrist, causing him to drop some documents he had in his hand. After Nicki directed him to “get the f*** out,” Garrett took heed to the order and locked himself in the bathroom of the Little Caesars Arena. He must’ve been shook daddy!
After the incident Garrett says that Nicki’s team didn’t allow him back on the tour bus as they left for Chicago and left him stranded in the Big D all by his lonesome. For that he’s decided to sue Nicki for assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Naturally, he’s also going for damages as well.
Nicki’s lawyer, Judd Burstein responded to the allegations by telling TMZ, “At this time, no complaint has been served upon Mrs. Petty (Nicki’s married name), 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.”
What do y’all think about this lawsuit? Does it seem like something Nicki Minaj would do? Let us know in the comments section below.

LiAngelo Ball, aka Gelo, just dropped his song “Tweaker” after a clip of it went viral on social media. It all started during a stream with influencer Neon, when Gelo asked if he wanted to hear “some hot sh*t” and played the track in the car. Once people heard it, they went crazy, saying it sounded like it could’ve been a hit in the early 2000s.
The song’s vibe is super nostalgic, sounding like it could be a throwaway track from Nelly’s Country Grammar album. It’s got that old-school, feel-good sound that takes you straight back to the early 2000s, and some fans even said it could’ve gone diamond if it dropped back then. Others pointed out it feels like something you’d hear on the Madden 2005 soundtrack, with that perfect mix of smooth and hype.
Even though Gelo’s mostly known for his basketball skills, “Tweaker” shows he’s got some serious musical talent too. He’s got that unique ability to take classic sounds and make them feel new. Looks like he might just have a future in music on top of his hoops career.
