Nicki Minaj's former lawyers demand $295,000 for unpaid bills

Former legal representatives are suing Nicki Minaj for 295,000 dollars in unpaid fees related to a past copyright infringement case. The firm has requested a default judgment after the artist failed to respond to the claims, with a hearing scheduled for mid-November.

A former law firm has initiated legal action against Nicki Minaj, claiming the artist failed to pay for services rendered during a copyright infringement lawsuit. The legal dispute centered on accusations that Minaj copied instrumentation and beats for her track I Lied from Julius Johnson's song onmysleeve. Although that case was eventually settled, the lawyers allege that Minaj still owes them 295,605 dollars, an amount that accounts for outstanding fees, interest, and additional costs.

The law firm filed the claim in March, stating that Minaj has ignored all communication regarding the payment. Because the artist has not responded to the legal action, her former representatives have requested a default judgment from the court. A hearing to address this request has been scheduled for November 16. As of now, Minaj has not provided a public comment on the matter, and representatives for the rapper have not responded to media inquiries regarding the unpaid invoices.
