Nicki Minaj in Trouble, Faces Legal Showdown Over Borrowed Jewellery
By Boniface Ihiasota, USA
Renowned American rapper, Nicki Minaj, finds herself entangled in a legal battle as she faces allegations of unpaid bills for exclusive custom jewellery.
The prominent West Hollywood jeweller, Roseark Jewellery store, has taken the rapper to court, citing damages incurred to loaned bling.
In response to the lawsuit, Nicki’s attorney staunchly denies any responsibility, asserting that the jeweller’s motive behind the legal action is merely to leverage the rapper’s fame for publicity purposes.
According to the recently filed lawsuit, Nicki’s stylist, Brett Alan Nelson, entered into a contractual agreement with Roseark Jewellery Store.
Under this agreement, the jeweller agreed to lend Nicki a collection of jewellery for a highly anticipated public appearance.
In return, Brett was obligated to return the borrowed items within a week and assume liability for any damages that might occur to the jewellery while in his possession.
Regrettably, Nicki’s stylist failed to meet the agreed-upon deadline for the return of 66 jewellery pieces.
Upon their eventual return, it was apparent that a set of earrings and a leaf ring had suffered noticeable damage.
A close source to Nicki, speaking with TMZ, refutes the claims made by the jeweller.
They maintained that all items were returned promptly and as promised.
They further asserted that it was only after the jewellery had been in the possession of the jeweller for an extended period that complaints regarding a missing stone emerged.
