Summary

  • Rees Scully Mansukhani LLP sued Nicki Minaj, alleging she owes $229,541 in legal fees tied to a 2024 copyright infringement case.
  • The firm says repeated attempts to collect the balance drew little or no response, leaving a lawsuit as its only remaining option; a hearing is scheduled for September.
  • Alex Bruesewitz, a Minaj affiliate and Donald Trump adviser, called the TMZ report false, while Minaj herself had not publicly responded as of the report.
  • The filing adds to Minaj's 2026 legal troubles after 24/7 Production separately sued her earlier this year for $275,000 in alleged unpaid production costs.
