In order to avoid a default judgement and the sale of her $20,000,000.00 Hidden Hills mansion, Nicki Minaj agreed to pay $500,000.00.
After suing the superstar rapper and her husband over an alleged assault at a 2019 concert in Frankfurt, security guard Thomas Weidenmuller was awarded the half-million dollar sum.
“She has satisfied the judgment.” “It required us going to the one-yard line,” stated the plaintiff’s lawyer to Rolling Stone.
During the Thursday hearing, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Cindy Pánuco was on the brink of entering a decision to sell the musician’s home.
Asserting that Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, had ambushed him from behind and sucker punched him in the face because he was upset, Weidenmuller had stepped in to defend a female security guard during a dispute with Minaj backstage in January of 2022.
“I now have five plates in my jaw, and my jaw has not yet been fully reconstructed.” “The doctors must still insert implants into my jaw as a part of the reconstruction process. In the interim, the doctors have inserted donor bones from a deceased person into my mouth in order to preserve space for the future implants,” Weidenmuller wrote in a sworn statement.
In October of 2025, Thomas filed his application to enforce payment of the default, telling the court he tried to get the $503,318.00 through less extreme measures, but Minaj had not responded.
With a $13,000,000.00 mortgage, Minaj’s eight-bedroom luxury home was recently appraised at $20,000,000.00
The application described the musician as a global music superstar with an estimated net worth of at least $150,000,000.00
“There is little doubt that she is highly capable of paying the judgment in full, and yet she has refused to do so despite multiple written requests for payment and levies served upon several of her suspected creditors,” revealed the filing.
