Nicki Minaj is at the center of a lawsuit over unpaid production costs tied to her Pink Friday 2 promotion and a December 2023 Jingle Ball performance. Documents submitted in the case include a November 29, 2023 email calling Republic Records’ proposed $250,000 promotional allowance far too small for her New York schedule. According to the email, Nicki Minaj’s team estimated the week could cost at least twice that amount, with hotels and transportation potentially consuming the entire budget. The planning documents also discussed $3,000 per day for a videographer and photographer, totaling $18,000 across six days, plus a tailor at $700 per day. What Is the Lawsuit About? 24/7 Productions says it coordinated travel, staffing, on site logistics, and event support for Nicki Minaj’s Jingle Ball appearance and Pink Friday 2 promotion. The company alleges it spent more than $275,000 on hotels and travel under an approved budget, then was not reimbursed. The email also questioned whether Nicki Minaj’s son would travel with her and described a $10,000 flight allowance as insufficient, citing a usual aircraft cost above $2,000 per leg. Nicki Minaj reportedly received $650,000 for the Jingle Ball performance, but Nicki Minaj has argued that she should not be personally liable for the disputed expenses and has asked the court to remove her from the case.
