Nicki Minaj is asking the court for a default judgement after a blogger she sued for false reports ignored her filing. Moreover, Marley Green, better known as Nosey Heaux, accused Nicki of being a cokehead and made some disparaging comments about her son. While everything set itself in place for the court proceedings, the only missing thing is Green's response. Furthermore, since she's failed to address the lawsuit, the New York-raised MC wants the case resolved without her input. Overall, this could mean that the superstar rapper might get close to her requested damages of $75,000.
According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, Minaj's lawyer Judd Burstein made such requests on Thursday (February 23). Additionally, he asked the Clerk of the Court to issue a certificate of default in the case. “Defendants have not answered or otherwise moved with respect to the complaint and the time for them to do so has expired,” they stated. When Nicki sued Green in September of 2022, attorney Bobby Samini agreed to represent and accept service for Green the following October. However, even though Burstein sent Green and her team a summons and complaint via email that month, they had to extend the December deadline for response to January 16 of this year.
Nicki Minaj Seeks Default Judgement
Still, it was all crickets on Green's end. “The Defendants herein have outrageously defamed [Nicki Minaj] by posting a video on their Twitter page in which Defendant Marley Green, who goes by the name of ‘Nosey Heaux,’ falsely and maliciously stated that [Nicki Minaj] is a ‘cokehead’ who is ‘shoving all this cocaine up her nose,’” Nicki's lawyer wrote in the original lawsuit. “Further evidencing a fundamental lack of decency, Green has also posted vile comments about [Nicki Minaj’s] one year-old son. While these comments are not actionable, they nonetheless demonstrate why punitive damages should be awarded in this case.”
Also, Burstein maintained that his client never used cocaine. In addition, he insisted that Green acted with "actual malice" because she “knew that there was a high probability that it was false.” Meanwhile, at least the "Anaconda" artist has more bright things to look forward to this year. Recently, she announced an upcoming single which should have Barbs all over feeling absolutely ecstatic. Regardless, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from Nicki Minaj.
