Nicki Minaj Sued For Allegedly Damaging $26K Worth Of Jewelry
Nicki Minaj has been sued by a West Hollywood jewelry store for allegedly damaging $26,000 worth of their merchandise. According to TMZ, Roseark Jewelry claims that Nicki’s stylist Brett Alan Nelson rented 66 pieces of jewelry for a public appearance which he agreed to return a week later. The jewelry store’s suit claims otherwise. Roseark claims that the jewelry was returned late and that a pair of earrings and a ring were “noticeably damaged.”
A source close to the rapper claims that the jewelry was returned on time and in the condition it was borrowed. The source also says that the lawsuit was not filed quickly. However, the store claims that there were invoices sent to Brett for damage which totaled up to $26,239.50 plus interest. While Nicki did not have any contact with the store, her name is on the lawsuit.
Nicki’s lawyer Jordan Siev responded to the lawsuit, saying, “We have not been presented with any evidence that any of the jewelry at issue was damaged by Nicki. 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.”
