Nicki Minaj's own lawyers ask to quit her $275K Jingle Ball lawsuit

Nicki Minaj's lawyers filed Oct. 23 asking a New York court to let them withdraw from a $275K lawsuit over 2023 Jingle Ball hotel costs, saying the relationship "has irretrievably broken down," per AllHipHop. Minaj disputes the debt. The court hasn't ruled.

Nicki Minaj's lawyers are asking a New York court to let them off her case. In an Oct 23 filing, attorney Bruce W. Bieber of Kurzman Eisenberg Corbin & Lever said the firm and Minaj "have been unable to align on litigation strategy" and that the attorney-client relationship "has irretrievably broken down," per AllHipHop. The firm represents Minaj and Pink Friday Productions LLC in a $275,149.62 lawsuit 24/7 Productions filed in March over December 2023 Jingle Ball shows in Chicago and Atlanta and New York events promoting Pink Friday 2. The production company says it fronted hotel costs, including a $103,730 Langham New York bill with a $9,500-a-night suite booked under the alias Tori Spaulding, a $1,939.66 private dinner and minibar items like Pringles and M&M's, plus a $25,197.85 Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale stay. Minaj disputes the debt and says she isn't personally on the hook for her LLC's bills; Pink Friday Productions said in July it had paid. The firm asked for a stay so she can hire new lawyers. The court hasn't ruled yet.
