A security guard has asked the court to seize Nicki Minaj's mansion in California to pay for his judgment, which has been pending since March 2024. The rapper and her husband faced a lawsuit for alleged “battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence.”
Thomas Weidenmüller was the head of security during Nicki Minaj's concert in Frankfurt, Germany, in 2019. He filed a lawsuit against the rapper and her husband, Kenneth Petty, in January 2022, for alleged assault and battery. Since the couple failed to respond to the lawsuit, the L.A. County Superior Court filed a default judgment against them worth $503,318.02 in March 2024.
The lawsuit alleges that Minaj slammed a female security officer after she had stopped a male fan from reaching her on stage. She allegedly called her a “f**king b*tch” before Weidenmüller intervened as the head of security. He stated that in Minaj's green room, her husband, Kenneth Petty, allegedly punched him, breaking his jaw. He allegedly had to undergo surgery to fix it. He filed a lawsuit in January 2022 to recover medical bills and damages.
Thomas Weidenmüller files to use Nicki Minaj's mansion to get his lawsuit judgment amount

Weidenmüller and his team have accused Nicki Minaj and her husband of failing to pay the amount from the default judgment announced in March 2024. They claim they sent multiple notices to their gated residence and also to Apple, UMG, etc., but have not received the payment yet.
Therefore, according to Complex, his team has urged the court to sell the rapper's mansion in Hidden Hills, California. Their filed document stated:
“Minaj is a global music superstar, estimated to have a net worth of anywhere between $150-190 million, and is reportedly the highest paid female rap star in the world. There is little doubt that she is highly capable of paying the judgment in full and, yet, she has refused to do so despite multiple written requests for payment and levies served upon several of her suspected creditors.”
Minaj reportedly bought the mansion in 2022 for $19.5 million. There is still a $13.26 million mortgage and a $722,151 homestead exemption on the property. However, according to Weidenmüller's team, the remaining $6 million is "more than sufficient to satisfy the judgment."
The judge has not yet made a decision on this request.
