Nicki Minaj Asks Judge to Dismiss Personal Claim After $103K Hotel Receipts Hit Court Record

A judge will decide on August 3 whether Minaj can be held personally liable for disputed event charges after 24/7 Productions filed sworn receipts in the public docket.

Overview

  • 24/7 Productions filed suit in March seeking $275,149.62, saying it fronted more than $255,000 for production, staffing and hospitality at Minaj’s December 2023 New York events and was not reimbursed.
  • The plaintiff placed a sworn CEO statement and hotel bills on the court docket that show a $9,500-per-night suite and a Langham New York master bill of $103,730 that 24/7 says it paid.
  • Pink Friday Productions LLC filed a formal answer raising 15 defenses and contends the underlying debts were already paid and that any contract was with the LLC, not Minaj personally.
  • Minaj’s lawyers say the company’s public filings use 'sensationalized tropes' to damage her reputation, note an alleged alias on the hotel folio reported by outlets, and call the suit an attempt to sue a famous name.
  • Monday’s hearing on Minaj’s motion to dismiss will determine immediate liability and could shape how vendors pursue unpaid event costs and how high-profile figures are shielded by corporate structures.
