Nicki Minaj Files $75K Defamation Lawsuit Against Vlogger ‘Nosey Heaux’
Nicki Minaj filed a Manhattan federal court lawsuit on Wednesday, September 14, against social-media commentator and vlogger Marley Green, professional known as @NoseyHeauxLive, alleging that she defamed her by claiming the rap star was on coke.
The complaint was filed in New York on Wednesday, Sept. 14. In it, Nicki Minaj’s attorney Judd Burstein, accuses Marley Green of defamation, claiming she’s lying about the rapper’s drug use.
The comments in question stem from a video Green shared on social media in which Green makes allegations that Nicki Minaj does cocaine and refers to the rapper as a “cokehead.”

“Nicki’s shoving all this cocaine up her nose! Allegedly. But we all know it’s true. F***—listen, I can’t even say allegedly with that because I—we know it’s true. I’m not saying allegedly on that. Nicki Minaj is a cokehead.” That is what Nosey Heaux says in her now viral video about Nicki Minaj.

The complaint also says that Marley Green made a “vile comment” about Minaj’s one-year-old son, whom she affectionately calls “Papa Bear.” According to the complaint, Green says Minaj’s son is “going to be a rapist, too,” referencing Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty who was convicted of attempted rape in 1995 and served four years in prison.
Please bring light to main reason she’s suing this lady! She has said some disgusting nasty vile things about Nicki’s 1 year old son and this isn’t even the half of it. pic.twitter.com/KcAN16fSO1

Minaj and her legal team believe that Green is working for an unidentified enemy of the rapper who also happens to be a performer as well. The allegations read:
“On information and belief, and as discovery will likely reveal, Green has been acting as a proxy for another performer who, mistakenly believing that she and Plaintiff are stars of equal stature, has repeatedly used other social media intermediaries in a hopeless effort to advance her career at Plaintiff’s expense. However, the fact that Green was acting at the behest of another does not make her conduct less egregious or excuse her from the consequences of the damages she has caused Plaintiff to suffer.”
Although Minaj’s legal team refers to Green as someone “whose main accomplishments in life have been a string of criminal charges, bail jumping and bad debts,” per TMZ, the rap star is adamant that does not use cocaine and does not want to run the risk of someone believing the lies cooked up by the social media personality. So, not only is Minaj asking for $75,000 in damages, but she’s also asking for the “Nosey Heaux” name.
“When this case is over, she will no longer be permitted to use the name ‘Nosey Heaux’ because we will take her trademark from her when she does not have enough money to pay the judgment,’ Burstein said in a statement to The FADER. “Anyone else who spreads lies about Nicki will suffer a similar fate. My marching orders are to aggressively sue anyone with a media or social media following who damages her with intentional lies. Eventually, the lesson will be learned.”
Nosey Heaux’s tweets about Nicki Minaj started when Nicki referenced Garcelle Beauvais from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for asking social media not to harass her son through his social media platforms.

Nicki Minaj is unhinged and harassing me on Instagram. She doxxed me and sent her barbz to threaten to kill me. She’s been commenting under my IG posts since like 24 hours ago. No one around her is smart enough to just take her phone. #Survivingthepettys RT pic.twitter.com/72CC5J0tCw
