Nicki Minaj suing blogger for calling her a 'cokehead'

Nicki Minaj is suing a blogger who called her a 'cokehead' that is 'shoving in all this cocaine up her nose'.

The rapper has now filed a $75,000 (£65,240) defamation lawsuit against Nosey Heaux, a gossip blogger who's real name is Marley Green.

In an excerpt of the video quoted in the lawsuit, Green alleged that the musician was an avid cocaine user.

She said: "[Minaj is] shoving all this cocaine, shoving in all this cocaine up her nose. Allegedly. Thank you. Allegedly.

"But we all know it’s true. F**k – listen, I can’t even say allegedly with that ‘cause I – we know it’s true. I’m not saying allegedly on that. Nicki Minaj is a cokehead."

Responding to the case on social media, Green also tweeted: "Nicki Minaj has been in a rage for several days now.

"She threatened me, sent her barbz to harass and threaten to kill me, now doxxing me.

"She has gone way too far and I’m definitely suing her. #Survivingthepettys."

Minaj’s lawyer Judd Burstein said in a statement to Pitchfork: "Marley Green is a disgrace – someone so lacking in fundamental decency that she has posted vile comments about Nicki’s one-year-old son.

"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.

"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."

Bob Samini, Green's lawyer, said in a statement to Rolling Stone: "The lawsuit filed by Nicki Minaj against Marley Green is an act of retaliation.

"Marley is a Black woman, a lesbian, a rape survivor, and an outspoken activist for other rape survivors.

"Marley was targeted after Jennifer Hough appeared on Marley’s YouTube channel alleging that she was raped by Ms. Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty. Mr. Petty is a registered sex offender who was convicted of first-degree attempted rape of a 16-year-old child."

He added: "Curiously, Ms. Minaj’s lawsuit was filed shortly after Ms. Hough’s interview with Marley.

"Since the interview, Marley has received threats of physical violence and constant harassment.

"There is no doubt that this will backfire for Ms. Minaj once the public learns about the intimidation and harassment that Marley has suffered, all as a direct result of her mission to give other sexual assault survivors a voice."
