THE MARQUEE
Nicki Minaj is facing a new legal challenge as a production company claims she left them with a massive bill. 24/7 Productions (USA) Inc. filed a lawsuit against the rapper and her company, Pink Friday Productions, seeking exactly $275,149.62. The production firm alleges they were never paid for extensive work completed during the high-profile rollout of her 2023 album, Pink Friday 2.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ and AllHipHop, the production company provided services for Minaj’s iHeartRadio Jingle Ball appearances in Chicago and Atlanta, as well as promotional events in New York. The firm claims it handled everything from travel logistics and security staffing to lighting and audio equipment. They reportedly advanced more than $255,000 out of pocket to cover these expenses, expecting a reimbursement that never arrived.
The lawsuit states that Minaj's Jingle Ball performances alone generated roughly $650,000 in revenue. Despite this, 24/7 Productions alleges their invoices were ignored. The legal filing accuses Pink Friday Productions of breach of contract and names Minaj personally for unjust enrichment, arguing she directly benefited from their services without providing compensation. One internal message reportedly promised, "We will be able to send you the money... as soon as it is received," but the company claims the debt remains unpaid.
This isn't the only legal hurdle for the "Super Freaky Girl" artist. This latest filing follows a string of recent disputes, including a default judgment involving a security guard and separate defamation claims. As of now, representatives for Nicki Minaj have not publicly commented on the allegations regarding the unpaid production fees.
