TMZ reports that Nicki Minaj‘s former manager, Brandon Garrett, filed a lawsuit against her, claiming she physically assaulted him. According to court documents obtained by the outlet, Garrett worked with Minaj during her Gag City tour earlier this year. One of his alleged duties included picking up Minaj’s prescriptions. However, after delegating a task to another team member, Garrett claims the “Starships” rapper “flew into a rage.”

“Are you f*cking crazy having him pick up my prescription? You have lost your f*cking mind, and if my husband were here, he would knock out your f*cking teeth,” Minaj allegedly said, according to court documents. “You’re a dead man walking. You just f*cked up your whole life, and you will never be anyone; I’ll make sure of it.”Along with yelling at him, Garrett alleges that Nicki Minaj slapped him on the right side of his face. The force was so strong that Garret claimed his head swung backward, and his hat flew off.

Former Manager Allegedly Locked Himself In Bathroom For Fear Of His Life

Following the physical interaction with Minaj, her team supposedly swarmed around Garrett as a form of intimidation. After being thrown out of Minaj’s dressing room, he locked himself inside a restroom for hours, fearing for his safety. After the show, he claims that Nicki Minaj and her team refused to let him back on the bus and left him stranded. Garrett is suing Minaj for assault, battery, and “intentional infliction of emotional distress.”

Nicki Minaj’s lawyer, Judd Burstein, contacted TMZ to offer a statement on her behalf. “At this time, no complaint has been served upon Mrs. Petty (Nicki’s married name), and therefore, we are unaware of the specific allegations. However, if the lawsuit is as reported by TMZ, it is completely false and frivolous. We are confident that the matter brought by this ex-assistant will be resolved swiftly in Mrs.Petty’ss favor.”
