Nicki Minaj has reportedly resolved her 2022 lawsuit against vlogger Marley Green, known on social media as “Nosey Heaux.”
Minaj initiated the legal action after Green accused her of being a “cokehead” and made other inflammatory statements.
As per court documents shared by reporter Meghann Cuniff, Green was compelled to issue an apology to Minaj, admit that the story was fabricated, and agree not to mention Minaj and cocaine again, or she will face a hefty fine.
As part of the settlement, Green admitted she had no evidence to support claims that Nicki Minaj used or abused cocaine or any other illegal substances.
Additionally, Green is now prohibited from discussing Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, or their child, and is barred from retweeting any content that portrays Minaj negatively.
If Green violates the agreement, she will be required to pay Minaj $50,000 for each infraction.
“‘Heaux acknowledges and admits that (a) any and all statements which she has ever made about Maraj using and/or abusing cocaine were false,” the docs read. ““Heaux hereby apologizes…” Green has agreed to never say anything about Minaj being “engaged in conduct which reflects poorly on Maraj’s integrity.”
In September 2022, Nicki Minaj filed a defamation lawsuit against Marley Green, accusing her of making false and damaging statements, including allegations of cocaine use.
Minaj sought compensation for the harm these remarks caused to her reputation. Her legal team argued that Green’s comments were unfounded and aimed at damaging her public image.
In response to Nicki Minaj’s defamation lawsuit, Marley Green denied the accusations, standing by her statements and arguing that her comments were protected under free speech.
She claimed that Minaj was unfairly using her influence to target and silence her critics.
Green initially remained firm, asserting her right to express her opinions, even if they were controversial. She framed the lawsuit as an attempt by a powerful celebrity to stifle dissenting voices.
Despite Green’s defense, Minaj and her legal team pressed forward, reinforcing their stance that Green’s remarks were not merely opinions but false and defamatory claims that damaged Minaj’s reputation.
They aimed to prove that Green’s statements were made with malicious intent and lacked any factual support.
Minaj’s lawyers continued to pursue damages and possibly a court-ordered retraction of Green’s statements.
Their approach underscored the serious repercussions of making defamatory claims, particularly against high-profile individuals like Minaj. The case illustrated Minaj’s determination to safeguard her reputation and hold accountable those who, in her view, spread harmful misinformation.
