In a complaint filed on Friday (January 4) in Los Angeles Superior Court, Garrett claimed he was working as a day-to-day manager for Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 tour when Minaj (real name Onika Maraj) hit him multiple times. The altercation allegedly occurred backstage at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on April 21 following one of Minaj’s concerts.

However, Nicki’s lawyer Judd Burstein denied such allegations. “At this time, no complaint has been served upon Mrs Petty [Minaj’s husband is Kenneth Petty], and therefore, we are unaware of the specific allegations,” Bernstein said.

“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 favour.” Nicki Minaj Vows to Make Amends with Fans After Drug Arrest.

Garrett filed an official report in Detroit and is seeking punitive and general damages, asserting that the incident caused him significant distress.
