Nicki Minaj döms för misshandel – kastade sko
Rapstjärnan Nicki Minaj och hennes man Kenneth Petty döms till motsvarande över fem miljoner kronor i skadestånd för misshandel av en säkerhetsvakt, skriver TT.
Händelsen inträffade på en konsert i Tyskland 2019. Vakten klev emellan när Minaj bråkade med en annan vakt efter att ett fan tagit sig upp på scenen. Enligt anklagelserna kastade Minaj en sko på honom, och Petty slog honom.
”Jag har haft otroligt ont i huvudet, nacken och käken”, sa vakten i stämningsansökan.
Minaj och Petty har inte bemött anklagelserna.

Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty (born December 8, 1982), known professionally as Nicki Minaj ( NIK-ee min-AHZH), is a Trinidadian-born rapper and singer based in the United States. Often referred to as the "Queen of Rap", she is known for her musical versatility, animated rap flow, and alter egos.

Minaj's debut album, Pink Friday (2010), topped the US Billboard 200 chart; its single "Super Bass" reached number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and was later certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Its follow-up, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012), explored dance-pop and topped the Billboard 200, spawning the hit single "Starships". Her next album, The Pinkprint (2014), marked a return to her hip hop roots. Its single "Anaconda" peaked at number two on the Hot 100 and became the first music video by a solo female rapper to reach one billion views on YouTube. Her 2019 collaboration with Karol G, "Tusa", became the longest-running number-one single on the Argentina Hot 100 chart. She achieved her first two US number-one singles in 2020 with the collaborations "Say So (Remix)" with Doja Cat and "Trollz" with 6ix9ine. In 2022, she earned her first solo number-one on the Hot 100 with "Super Freaky Girl", the lead single from her fifth album, Pink Friday 2 (2023), which also debuted atop the Billboard 200.
Outside of music, Minaj's film and television career has included voice roles in the animated films Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012) and The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019), and supporting roles in the films The Other Woman (2014) and Barbershop: The Next Cut (2016)
