Last January, Nicki Minaj's former manager sued her for allegedly hitting him in the face during her "Pink Friday 2" tour.

Last January, Nicki Minaj was hit with a lawsuit by her former manager, Brandon Garrett. Their legal battle continues, and now, the "Super Freaky Girl" performer is accused of obstructing the discovery process and racking up Garrett's legal fees.

MyNewsLA reports that Nicki's responses to the plaintiff's written questions submitted earlier this year allegedly “consisted entirely of vague, repetitive boilerplate objections and were devoid of any substantive information or answers.” His team wants her to pay a fine of nearly $4K to cover the cost the current motion.

As for what Garrett is suing Nicki for in the first place, he accuses the femcee of going off on him during her Pink Friday 2 tour back in 2024. Apparently, he allowed someone else to pick up a prescription he was specifically told to collect.

"Are you f**king crazy having him pick up my prescription? You have lost your f**king mind," she allegedly told him at the time. "If my husband were here, he would knock out your f**king teeth."

"You’re a dead man walking," she allegedly added. "You just f**ked up your whole life."

From there, Garrett accuses Nicki of striking him him in the face. Allegedly, she hit him so hard that his neck snapped back and his hat fell off. Fortunately, security was around to intervene before the situation escalated any further.

Garrett alleges that after that, he went and hid in a bathroom for several hours. When he finally came out of the bathroom, he quickly realized that Nicki and her team had allegedly left him stranded in Detroit.

"We are unaware of the specific allegations," Nicki's lawyer, Judd Burstein, said about the lawsuit before she was properly served. "However, if the lawsuit is as reported by TMZ, it is completely false and frivolous. We are confident that the matter brought by this ex assistant will be resolved swiftly in Mrs. Petty’s favor."
