Nicki Minaj, the Trinidadian-American rapper, is facing a lawsuit filed by a West Hollywood jewelry store, Roseark Jewellery.
The Jewelry store is alleging that she failed to pay for custom jewelry that was loaned to her. The legal battle has caught the attention of the media and fans alike.
According to TMZ, Roseark Jewellery claims that the rapper damaged several pieces of jewelry that were loaned to her.
The lawsuit states that Nicki’s stylist, Brett Alan Nelson, had signed a contract with the store to borrow the jewelry for a public appearance.
The agreement stipulated that the items should be returned within a week and any damages incurred would be the responsibility of the borrower.
Upon the return of the jewelry, Roseark Jewellery alleges that a set of earrings and a leaf ring were found to be damaged.
The store claims to have forwarded invoices for the incurred damages, totaling $26,239.50, including interest, to Nicki’s stylist, Brett Alan Nelson. However, the payment has not been made, prompting Roseark to pursue legal action.
In response, Nicki Minaj’s attorney denies any responsibility on her part and accuses the jewelry store of using the rapper for publicity.
The attorney asserts that the lawsuit is an attempt by Roseark Jewellery to generate publicity and extract an undeserved payment. They vow to vigorously defend against the allegations.
The lawsuit takes a further turn as Roseark Jewellery alleges that Brett Alan Nelson failed to return a total of 66 pieces of jewelry within the agreed timeframe. This discrepancy adds to the growing tension between the parties involved.
A source close to Nicki Minaj, however, refutes the allegations made by Roseark Jewellery.
The source tells TMZ that there is no evidence to support the claim that the jewelry was damaged by the rapper. They assert that everything was returned on time and deny any wrongdoing.
“We have not been presented with any evidence that any of the jewelry at issue was damaged by Nicki,” the source told TMZ.
“This lawsuit appears to be nothing more than an ordinary insurance claim by the jeweler designed to generate publicity for itself and extract a payment to which it is not entitled. We will defend the lawsuit vigorously.”
As the legal battle unfolds, fans and industry insiders are closely watching the outcome of the lawsuit.
