Nicki Minaj Is Being Sued By Barb For $5 Million

A barb has left the dollhouse, so-to-speak.

Tameer Peak who is at this point, a former Barb, is suing Nicki Minaj for $5 million for damages to his reputation, emotional distress, and loss of finances.

Things got ugly between Peak and Minaj, according to the former Barb in 2017, when the rapper went through what he describes as the “Nicki Hate Train,” that included a stint when she accused some fans of being moles sent to sabotage her.

During an Instagram live with Minaj, Peak claims he was berated by the rapper during a session that had over 100,000 viewers. The complaint filed by Peak also says that during Superbowl 2020, he was battered by Kenneth Petty, Minaj’s husband.

TMZ reports, “In one session, Nicki allegedly wrote, “It’s clear they’re not necessarily, you know, a full basket umm at the picnic.” Peak took that to mean he was mentally unstable or intellectually deficient. In another, he says Nicki accused him of being “one sandwich short of a picnic” and receiving a check from the government, implying he was on welfare.”

Minaj hasn’t made any comments directly, but her attorney Judd Burstein says, “Mr. Peak has been harassing Nicki on social media for years on end to no avail.” He told told TMZ, “He has now graduated to seeking to shake her down financially with manifestly false allegations and legally frivolous claims. He will regret having gone down this disreputable road when he is forced to pay her legal fees as required by California law.”

The charges against Minaj have been filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.
