Nicki Minaj and her husband owe $500,000 to victim of alleged backstage assault

Nicki Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty have been ordered to pay $500,000 (£396,000) for an alleged backstage assault by a judge this Friday (March 22).According to security guard Thomas Weidenmuller in a lawsuit brought to an LA court, the incident was sparked by a fan climbing on stage with Minaj during a concert held in Frankfurt in 2019. The rapper allegedly blamed a female security guard for letting the fan jump over the barricade, and started to record the guard as she yelled at her.Weidenmuller then reportedly stepped in, telling Minaj it wasn’t fair to have the security staffer’s reputation “ruined” publicly.

Nicki Minaj to receive Video Vanguard Award at 2022 MTV VMAs
Nicki Minaj is poised to receive MTV’s highly coveted Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2022 Video Music Awards on Aug. 28. Upon accepting the enviable moon man — an accolade previously earned by the posh pop culture likes of Madonna, 63; Janet Jackson, 56; LL Cool J, 54; Missy Elliot, 51; and the late David Bowie — Minaj will make her long-awaited return to the VMAs stage for her first performance at the annual awards since 2018. “Nicki has broken barriers for women in hip-hop with her versatility and creative artistry,” said Bruce Gillmer, a top executive at Paramount+, which owns MTV Network, in a statement about the 39-year-old recipient. He continued: “She has shifted the music industry and cemented her status as a global superstar with her crossover appeal, genre-defying style and continuing to be unapologetically ‘Nicki.'”The Video Vanguard honor for Minaj — a five-time VMA winner and 17-time nominee from Queens — comes as a boon amid a flurry of personal yet public hurdles. On Wednesday, Charles Polevich — the 73-year-old man responsible for killing her father, Robert Maraj, 64, in a February 2021 hit-and-run accident on Long Island — was sentenced to serve only one year in jail. In July, the “Anaconda” rapper’s husband, Kenneth Petty, 44, who was convicted of the attempted rape of a 16-year-old girl in 1995, was sentenced to three years of probation and one year of home detention for failing to register as a sex offender in the state of California.

Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty sentenced to year of house arrest for failing to register as sex offender
CBS Los Angeles.Petty, who married Minaj in 2019, had been convicted of first-degree attempted rape of a 16-year-old in New York in 1995 and served four years in prison. However, when he and Minaj moved to California in 2019, he failed to register as a sex offender within the required period of five days. He pleaded guilty back in September on a federal count of failing to register as a sex offender and prosecutors had previously urged the judge to sentence Petty to further prison time.They had recommended 15 months in prison and five years of supervised release, claiming that being under house arrest in the mansion he shares with Minaj in a gated community was not enough of a punishment. Petty faced further legal trouble in August after his alleged rape victim, Jennifer Hough, filed a lawsuit against him and Minaj. Hough claimed that both Minaj and Petty caused her emotional distress and tried to coerce her into recanting her accusation of rape, allegedly offering her $500,000 (£418,000) to do so. Kim Kardashian steps out with Barnsley on her bum and there’s a very wholesome reason whyNipsey Hussle's killer convicted of first-degree murderBradley Cooper kisses Carey Mulligan on set of Maestro filming in Central ParkShe later voluntarily dropped the case against Minaj but her lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn, said the case against Petty was ongoing. Minaj and Petty have yet to comment publicly on the latest sentencing. Got a story?If you’ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk entertainment team by emailing us our Submit Stuff page – we’d love to hear from you.
