Rapper Nicki Minaj’s opulent $20 million Hidden Hills mansion now faces the risk of a court-ordered sale to satisfy an outstanding judgment. The issue centers on a substantial Nicki Minaj mansion debt owed to a former security guard. He is attempting to recover over $500,000 awarded in a default judgment after an alleged 2019 assault involving the star’s husband, Kenneth Petty, in Germany.
Thomas Weidenmüller, the security guard, filed a motion on October 6 to force the sale of the luxurious property.
He argues that the $20 million estate holds sufficient equity to cover the debt, interest, and all legal enforcement costs. The legal action was only necessitated because Minaj and Petty have reportedly refused to settle the financial obligation, despite its relatively small size compared to the home’s value.
The rapper has frequently dismissed financial rumors, but this legal threat is concrete. The debt originated after the couple failed to formally respond to the original lawsuit, resulting in the court issuing a judgment against them without a trial. Weidenmüller’s legal team is now leveraging the estimated $6 million in home equity to satisfy the judgment, targeting the property because of the refusal to pay.
If the court approves the motion, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office could oversee the sale of the property. This unprecedented move ensures that the creditor collects what is owed, putting significant pressure on the rap icon to immediately address the unpaid Nicki Minaj mansion debt and prevent the forced sale.
