Nicki Minaj at Risk of Losing $20 Million Hidden Hills Mansion Over Unpaid Judgment
Rapper Nicki Minaj could lose her $20 million Hidden Hills mansion in Los Angeles after failing to pay a debt from a 2019 lawsuit.
Court filings in October show that a jury ordered Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty, to pay $503,318 to former security chief Thomas Weidenmüller. The couple has yet to satisfy the judgment.
The case arose from Minaj’s 2019 Nicki Wrld Tour in Germany. Weidenmüller claimed Petty assaulted him backstage, breaking his jaw and requiring surgery. Reports indicate that Minaj had thrown a shoe at another security officer who failed to stop a fan from climbing the stage, and Petty allegedly punched Weidenmüller while he tried to intervene.
According to Weidenmüller, he underwent eight surgeries, including the insertion of five plates, to repair his jaw. He filed a lawsuit in 2024, but Minaj and Petty did not respond, resulting in a default judgment against them.
Weidenmüller’s lawyers are now seeking a court order to sell the Hidden Hills mansion to recover the owed amount. The 11-bedroom property carries roughly $13 million in mortgage debt, leaving about $6 million in equity, which is enough to cover the judgment, interest, and legal costs.
Court documents note that Minaj, whose net worth is estimated between $150 million and $190 million, has the means to pay the debt but has refused to do so despite multiple requests. Her legal team now faces moves to enforce the judgment and recover the funds.
