Nicki Minaj's Former Lawyers Seek $295,605 Default Award as She Campaigns for Trump-Backed Candidates
Photo: Washington TimesLawyers who previously represented Nicki Minaj asked a Los Angeles County Superior Court to award them a default judgment of $295,605 for unpaid legal fees, the same day she appeared outside a polling station in Derry, New Hampshire, on election day. The firm said its lawsuit, filed in March, had gone unanswered and that 30 days had passed since she was served. A hearing on the request is set for Nov. 16. Accompanied by police, Minaj posed in front of a campaign sign for Anthony DiLorenzo, a Trump-endorsed Republican who lost his congressional bid to Democrat Stefany Shaheen. The previous week she had appeared with President Trump at a Michigan rally. Minaj's representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Left-leaning Rolling Stone leads by setting the legal filing against her campaign appearances, citing the $295,000 figure and the unanswered lawsuit. It features her Michigan remarks about children and sex changes and Trump's comments about her appearance, which are cut off in the excerpt, and it describes her alliance with Trump as bizarre. Alternative TMZ, citing new legal documents it obtained, reports that the firm is asking a judge to let it withdraw from the case over alleged communication problems. It does not address the politics. The right-leaning Washington Times, in the excerpt available, leads with Chucky creator Don Mancini's response to a Minaj social media post that used the doll's likeness to urge Americans to vote Republican, and it does not mention the legal dispute. The sources agree that Minaj was active in the election and that the firm is pursuing money or a withdrawal. They differ on emphasis: the left centers on her politics and unpaid bill, TMZ on the lawyers' withdrawal, and the right on the Chucky response.
How the sides differ Left sources stress the unpaid legal bill alongside her Trump rally; right sources focus on Chucky's creator; alternative sources report a bid to withdraw as counsel.
