Nicki Minaj is facing a lawsuit from her former day-to-day manager, Brandon Garrett, who alleges that the rapper physically and verbally assaulted him backstage during her "Pink Friday 2" tour in Detroit on April 21, 2024. According to the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Garrett claims Minaj became enraged after learning he had delegated the task of picking up her prescription to another employee. The confrontation allegedly escalated, with Minaj striking Garrett on the face and wrist, causing his hat to fall off and his wrist to throb. Garrett also alleges that Minaj made threatening statements, including telling him his "life was over" and that her husband would harm him if present. Following the incident, Garrett claims he locked himself in a restroom out of fear and was later left stranded in Detroit after being denied access to the tour bus. The lawsuit names Minaj and her company, Pink Personality, as defendants and seeks punitive damages. Garrett also reported the incident to police in both Detroit and Chicago. Minaj's lawyer has denied the allegations, calling them "false and frivolous."
