Nicki Minaj has managed to keep away from the sale of her $20 million Hidden Hills mansion.
Back in October, Us Weekly reported that the rapper’s Los Angeles mansion was liable to being offered off due to an enormous unpaid debt she and her husband, Kenneth Petty, refused to pay.
The alleged debt got here after Thomas Weidenmuller was awarded $503,000 from the couple earlier in a lawsuit over an alleged assault by Petty in 2019. According to the outlet, he requested the court docket to order the rapper’s residence to be offered to assist him accumulate on the cash owed.
At the time of the preliminary studies, Nicki went on a social media rampage, taking to X to blame Roc Nation for the detrimental headlines about her. She insinuated that the publications reporting the information had been doing so as a result of they’re on Roc Nation’s payroll, retweeting a fan who known as the story “fabricated.”
But, it seems just like the studies weren’t fabricated as Nicki ended up paying the $500,000 default judgment {that a} safety guard gained after suing the “Starships” rapper.
“She has glad the judgment,” the guard’s lawyer, Paul Saso, informed Rolling Stone this week. “It required us going to the one-yard line.”
Saso confirmed the information simply as Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Cindy Pánuco was set to enter a blockbuster determination to promote the house at a listening to on Thursday afternoon. Plaintiff Thomas Weidenmuller almost gained the ruling in November, however he confronted a delay as a result of he lacked a financial institution assertion detailing Minaj’s funds on her $13.3 million mortgage and the day by day curiosity accrual.
When Saso knowledgeable the court docket of the “eleventh-hour improvement,” Judge Pánuco appeared relieved.
“I needed to verify we bought this proper. It was a giant factor,” she stated. “I’m glad this was resolved in a approach that is sensible for all the events,” the decide stated.
Saso stated his consumer was relieved as effectively whereas talking to reporters exterior the courthouse.
“He’s extremely gratified and completely happy. It’s been a very long time coming to have justice lastly executed right here,” the lawyer stated, per Rolling Stone. “He’s very completely happy for himself. He suffered a really heinous assault, years in the past, and never solely did it take years to realize the judgment, nevertheless it then took almost two years in an effort to implement that judgment.”

This information comes as an previous Facebook put up of Nicki’s has been recirculating, by which she admits to being an “unlawful immigrant” earlier than asking Donald Trump’s administration to cease detaining undocumented individuals.
“I got here to this nation as an unlawful immigrant @ 5 years previous. I can’t think about the horror of being in an odd place & having my dad and mom stripped away from me on the age of 5. This is so scary to me,” she wrote in 2018, per TMZ. “Please cease this. Can you attempt to think about the phobia & panic these children really feel proper now?”
The put up is accompanied by a photograph of children on mats in a big, chain-link fenced-in cage.
Of course, the feelings expressed on this put up are fairly completely different from her emotions immediately.
