Overview
- Attorney Matthew Abbott filed court papers to step down, citing months without contact from Minaj despite repeated outreach to her and her accountants.
- The case was brought by former fan Tameer Peak, refiled in late 2025, and seeks $10 million over alleged defamation and related claims.
- Abbott previously asked the court for additional time so Minaj could secure permanent replacement counsel.
- The court has not ruled on Abbott’s motion, and a response deadline for Minaj is now in place.
- Minaj’s prior lawyer Judd Burstein left the matter earlier and said his departure was unrelated to the merits of Peak’s claims.
