- Nicki Minaj faces the risk of losing her $20 million estate in Hidden Hills, Los Angeles.
- The potential loss is due to an unpaid financial judgment from a 2019 lawsuit.
- A jury ordered Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty, to pay $503,318 to Thomas Weidenmüller, a former security chief.
Nicki Minaj, the renowned rapper, might be at risk of losing her $20 million mansion in Hidden Hills, Los Angeles, due to an unresolved financial judgment related to a lawsuit from 2019.
Documents from the court, submitted in October, reveal that a jury ruled Minaj and her spouse, Kenneth Petty, owe $503,318 to Thomas Weidenmüller, a former head of security. However, this amount has not been paid.
The legal battle originates from an incident during the 2019 Nicki Wrld Tour in Germany. Weidenmüller claims that Petty attacked him backstage, leading to a broken jaw that necessitated surgical intervention. Additionally, reports suggest that Minaj had previously thrown a shoe at a security member who failed to stop a fan from getting on stage, and Petty allegedly hit Weidenmüller as he tried to manage the situation.
Weidenmüller states that he has had to undergo eight surgeries, which included the insertion of five plates into his jaw. He initiated the lawsuit in 2024, and because Minaj and Petty did not respond, the court awarded default judgments in his favor.
According to Weidenmüller, he has undergone eight surgeries, including the placement of five plates to repair his jaw. He filed the lawsuit in 2024, and after Minaj and Petty failed to respond, the court issued default judgments in his favor.
Weidenmüller’s attorneys are now seeking a court order to sell the couple’s Hidden Hills mansion to recover the owed amount. The property, which has 11 bedrooms, carries an estimated value of $20 million and a $13 million mortgage. Court documents highlight that Minaj’s net worth, estimated between $150 million and $190 million, makes her financially capable of settling the judgment.
“The residence carries a $13,258,000 mortgage lien and a $722,151 homestead exemption, totaling just under $14 million,” the filings state. “With a fair market value of $20 million, there is roughly $6 million in equity available, which is sufficient to cover the judgment, accrued interest, and enforcement expenses.”
Despite multiple written demands and attempts to seize assets, Minaj has yet to pay, prompting Weidenmüller’s legal team to push for immediate enforcement of the court’s decision.
