Nicki Minaj has settled a lawsuit against Marley Green, known online as “Nosey Heaux,” who falsely accused her of drug use.
Nicki Minaj has reached a settlement in her 2022 lawsuit against Marley Green, an online personality who goes by the name “Nosey Heaux.” The lawsuit was filed after Green made serious and unfounded accusations against the rapper, claiming that Minaj was addicted to cocaine. These accusations gained traction on social media, prompting Minaj to take legal action to protect her reputation.
The lawsuit came as a response to a series of social media posts from Green that began circulating in 2022. In these posts, Green accused Minaj of being a “cokehead” and made further derogatory remarks about the rapper’s personal life. According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Green’s claims were dismissed as baseless and defamatory, with Minaj’s legal team referring to Green as a “nobody” with a history of criminal charges and bad debts.
Minaj said, “It’s important to stand up against lies and protect your name. I won’t allow anyone to spread falsehoods about me or my family.”
Green’s allegations were particularly harmful as they went beyond mere speculation. In one of her posts, Green stated, “Nicki Minaj is a cokehead,” and insisted that there was no need to say “allegedly” because she believed the accusation to be true. Green’s comments were not only directed at Minaj but also extended to her family, with Green making highly offensive remarks about Minaj’s child.
As part of the settlement, Green was required to admit that her statements about Minaj’s alleged drug use were false. Green conceded that she had no evidence to support her claims that Minaj was abusing cocaine or any other drug. Additionally, the settlement includes a clause that prohibits Green from making any further comments about Minaj or her supposed drug use. Green is also barred from retweeting or sharing any content that accuses Minaj of illegal or unethical behavior.
The consequences of violating the settlement are severe. If Green breaches the agreement, she will be required to pay Minaj $50,000 for each infraction. This financial penalty is intended to deter Green from repeating her defamatory behavior and to protect Minaj’s reputation from further damage.
The outcome of this lawsuit is a significant victory for Minaj, who has been a target of numerous false accusations over the years. By pursuing legal action, Minaj has sent a clear message that she will not tolerate baseless and damaging claims against her character. This case also highlights the broader issue of online defamation and the impact that false statements can have on a person’s reputation.
Minaj’s decision to settle the lawsuit rather than pursue a lengthy court battle reflects her desire to put the matter behind her and focus on her career. Despite the challenges she has faced, Minaj continues to be a dominant force in the music industry. She remains committed to her craft and to protecting her personal and professional integrity.
As Nicki Minaj moves forward, her victory in this case serves as a reminder of the importance of accountability in the digital age. While social media allows for free expression, it also requires responsibility and the recognition that false statements can have real consequences.
This legal win not only clears Minaj’s name but also sets a precedent for how similar cases may be handled in the future, offering a measure of protection for public figures who find themselves the subject of defamatory online attacks.
