Hours before a final judgment was set to be imposed on Nicki Minaj for non-payment of a lawsuit from an ex-employee, the rapper settled her $503,000,000 debt.

In court on Thursday (Jan.22), Judge Pánuco announced the judgment had finally been satisfied, effectively saving the rapper’s $20,000,000 Hidden Hills residence from being sold. The suit was brought by Thomas Weidenmuller, who was a one-time security guard for Minaj during a 2019 trip to Germany. He was involved in a physical altercation with Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty. TMZ spoke with Weidenmuller’s attorney, Paul Saso, who said his client is “incredibly gratified” and “happy.”

Saso noted that Weidenmuller was a victim of a “heinous attack” from Kenneth Petty. ” It’s been a long time coming to have justice finally be done here,” he said.”Not only did it take years to achieve the judgment, but took nearly two years to enforce that judgment.”

Nicki Minaj Doubles Down On Calling Don Lemon A ‘C*cksucker’

In other news, Minaj has doubled down on her “c*cksucker” comments about Don Lemon.

Last week, protestors stormed a Minnesota church after it was revealed that its pastor had alleged ties to the federal agency. Don Lemon, who had been reporting via his livestream, confronted that pastor about his connections to the group. Not long after the clip began to circulate online, it somehow reached Nicki Minaj’s timeline, and she slammed the long-time journalist. Minaj called Lemon a disgusting “c*cksucker” and demanded he be thrown in jail.

Donald Trump agreed with Minaj regarding Lemon being jailed. In a post on Truth Social, he reshared a post that criticized both Lemon and the Minnesota church protestors. The poster was calling for the former CNN anchor to be charged under the FACE Act. The FACE Act is a federal law that prohibits the “use of force, threat of force, or physical obstruction to injure, intimidate, or interfere with anyone obtaining or providing reproductive health services, or exercising their right to worship.”
