Nicki Minaj Won’t Face Arrest Over Manager Drama (For Now): Here’s What We Know

January 6, 2025

Y’all, Nicki Minaj’s legal drama just got a plot twist. The Detroit Police Department’s request for an arrest warrant has been denied by the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office, citing a lack of solid evidence to prove any crime. The pink print remains unscathed—for now.

According to a rep for the prosecutor’s office, the case isn’t completely off the table. They’ve sent the cops back to dig deeper, which means the investigation is still ongoing.

The tea? Minaj’s former manager, Brandon Garrett, is accusing her of assault during a Detroit tour stop last April. In a civil lawsuit, BG spilled that things went left after a disagreement over Nicki’s personal prescriptions. He alleges she threatened his life, slapped his wrist (literally), and hit him in the face. Garrett is now suing for assault, battery, and emotional distress.

But hold up—Nicki’s legal team isn’t having it. Her lawyer came through with the heat, calling the lawsuit “false and frivolous.” And honestly, this could just be another day in celeb drama-ville.

As of now, Minaj hasn’t commented, and the Detroit PD is staying quiet too. The Barbz are holding their breath while waiting for updates, but you already know Twitter is on fire.

Stay tuned, besties—this one’s far from over. 💅✨
