Nicki Minaj at risk of losing $20M Los Angeles home over assault debt battle

Nicki Minaj is at risk of losing her $20 million Los Angeles mansion over not paying a man whom the rapper’s husband allegedly assaulted in 2019.

Thomas Weidenmüller claimed in court docs obtained by Page Six that the “Anaconda” rapper and her husband, Kenneth Petty, have refused to pay him the more than $500,000 they owe him after he filed an assault lawsuit against the registered sex offender.

Weidenmüller has now asked a court to help him collect the money by placing Minaj’s 11-bedroom, Hidden Hills, Calif., home up for sale.

“The dwelling is subject to a $13,258,000 mortgage lien and a $722,151 homestead exemption—together just under $14 million,” the court docs read.

“The property’s current fair market value is appraised at $20 million, yielding approximately $6 million in equity beyond the lien and exemption. That amount is more than sufficient to satisfy the judgment, plus accrued interest and enforcement costs.”

Weidenmüller’s legal team claims in the docs that the sale of the pop star’s home “would satisfy the entire judgment, with millions to spare.”

“Minaj is a global music superstar, estimated to have a net worth of anywhere between $150-190 million
and is reportedly the highest paid female rap star in the world,” the docs state.

“There is little doubt that she is highly capable of paying the judgment in full and, yet, she has refused to do so despite multiple written requests for payment and levies served upon several of her suspected creditors. [Weidenmüller] should not have to wait any longer.”

Page Six has reached out to Minaj’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Us Weekly was first to report the news.

When Weidenmüller worked as a security guard for Minaj’s 2019 concert in Germany, he claimed Petty, 47, sucker punched him in the jaw.

The incident allegedly occurred after the “Starships” emcee, born Onika Maraj, berated a female security guard for allowing a male fan to get onstage during her show.

Minaj, 42, allegedly yelled at the guard, calling her a “f–king bitch” while recording the belittling exchange.

Weidenmüller, who was the head of security for the evening, said he stepped up to console the crying guard before approaching the “Barbershop: The Next Cut” actress to discuss the alleged incident.

“Who do you think you are?” he claimed Minaj yelled before allegedly throwing her shoe at him.

Weidenmüller then claimed the “Moment 4 Life” rapper verbally berated him in her room before Petty punched him out of the blue, breaking his jaw.

Due to the alleged assault, Weidenmüller claimed he had to undergo eight surgeries to repair the damage to his jaw, which involved inserting five plates into his face.

A judge awarded Weidenmüller $503,318 for the damage under a default judgment.

Minaj and Petty tied the knot in October 2019 and welcomed a son, only known as “Papa Bear,” in September 2020.
