- Nicki Minaj is at risk of losing her $20 million home in Hidden Hills, Los Angeles.
- The potential loss is due to an unpaid financial judgment from the 2019 litigation.
- The jury ordered Mina and her husband, Kenneth Petty, to pay $503,318 to former security chief Thomas Weidenmüller.
Rapper Nicki Minaj could lose her $20 million home in Los Angeles’ Hidden Hills after failing to reach a financial judgment related to a 2019 lawsuit.
Court records filed in October show a jury ordered Mina and her husband, Kenneth Petty, to pay $503,318 to former security chief Thomas Weidenmüller, but the debt remains unpaid.
The controversy stems from the 2019 Nicki Wrld tour in Germany. Weidenmiller claimed that Petty attacked him backstage, causing him to suffer a broken jaw that required surgery. The report also noted that Minaj had previously thrown a shoe at another security guard who failed to stop a fan from climbing onto the stage, and that Petty allegedly assaulted Weidenmuller when he intervened.
According to Weidenmuller, he has undergone eight surgeries, including the placement of five steel plates to repair his jaw. He filed the lawsuit in 2024, and after Minaj and Petty failed to respond, the court entered a default judgment in his favor.
Weidenmuller’s attorneys are currently seeking a court order to sell the couple’s Hidden Hills mansion to recoup the amount owed. The property has 11 bedrooms and is worth an estimated $20 million, with a $13 million mortgage. Court documents emphasize that Minaj’s net worth is estimated to be between $150 million and $190 million, making her financially capable of completing the judgment.
“The residence is subject to $13,258,000 of mortgage liens and $722,151 of homestead exemptions, totaling just under $14 million,” the filing states. “The fair market value is $20 million and available equity is approximately $6 million, sufficient to cover the judgment, accrued interest and execution costs.”
Despite repeated written demands and attempts to seize assets, Mina has yet to pay, prompting Weidenmuller’s legal team to press for the court’s ruling to be implemented immediately.
