Nicki Minaj is facing a lawsuit from a man who claims to be her former manager, alleging assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. According to Brandon Garrett has filed legal documents accusing the rap superstar of berating and physically attacking him during an incident backstage at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit in April 2024.

“Are you f–king crazy having him pick up my prescription? You have lost your f–king mind, and if my husband were here, he would knock out your f–king teeth.”
