As reported by TMZ, Minaj and her legal team filed the lawsuit against Green, who discusses celebrity gossip as “Nosey Heaux,” following the release of a video in which she made the claims. According to the suit, Green allegedly said that Minaj is “shoving all this cocaine, shoving in all this cocaine up her nose.”
Green added “allegedly,” before backtracking. “But we all know it’s true,” she said, per the court documents. “I can’t even say allegedly with that ‘cause I, we all know it’s true. I’m not saying alleged on that. Nicki Minaj is a cokehead.”
Minaj’s legal team has also asserted that Green made “vile” comments about her one-year-old son. Green reportedly told Minaj to get therapy for her infant son because, “Your baby is going to be a rapist, too.” Minaj is married to Kenneth Petty, who was convicted of rape in 1995.
In the lawsuit, Green is labeled a “nobody” whose “main accomplishments in life have been a string of criminal charges, bail jumping and bad debts.” Attorney Judd Burstein said the “cokehead” video garnered 2,000 likes and over 250 retweets on Twitter.
Green is being sued for defamation.
Minaj has claimed she’s never used cocaine and is seeking $75,000 in damages.
“When this case is over, she will no longer be permitted to use the name ‘Nosey Heaux’ because we will take her trademark from her when she does not have enough money to pay the judgment. Anyone else who spreads lies about Nicki will suffer a similar fate,” added Burstein. “My marching orders are to aggressively sue anyone with a media or social media following who damages her with intentional lies. Eventually, the lesson will be learned.”
As a fellow entertainment bogger and online personality, I will say this. When celebriTEA spills out into the universe, we are allowed to give commentary on whatnhas been reported, and we can speculate until the cows come home.
However, what we cannot do is go around spreading false narratives about people when we don't have all the facts. Unless you were in the room with Nicki and saw her snort coke, you can't make those kind of allegations. Just like Tasha K can't go around making false accusations about Cardi B and her alleged STI history.
What I try to do as a content creator is bring the facts, as well as analyze the as fairly as I can. Even if I'm not a fan of the celebrity I try to see things from both sides.
Just like Nicki needs to stop withnthe psychotic outbursts and subliminal jabs she makes at her female rap contemporaries on social media, Nosey needs to tread lightly in regards to the things that comes out of her mouth if they're not fact.
