Seems as if rappers are no longer letting underground blogs spread rumors through misinformation posted on digital media platforms. Blogger and podcaster “Nosey Heaux” is being sued by Nicki Minaj for $75,000 in damages, claiming the information is defamatory 

Nosey Heaux, whose real name is Marley Green, apparently released a video in which she called Minaj a “cokehead” who was “shoving all this cocaine up her nose.” The rapper is claiming that the clip is defamatory. According to the lawsuit, the video received 260 retweets and roughly 2,000 likes and also included “vile comments” about Minaj’s son.

The lawsuit alleges that Nosey Heaux was acting under direction from an unnamed rival of Minaj, “mistakenly believing that she and [Minaj] are stars of equal stature,” in a “hopeless effort to advance her career” at Minaj’s expense. Minaj, who says she has never used cocaine, is seeking $75,000 in damages.

When reached by Rap Cap & Kicks, Judd Burstein, attorney for Nicki Minaj, stated:

Marley Green is a disgrace—someone so lacking in fundamental decency that she has posted vile comments about Nicki’s 1-year-old son.  When this case is over, she will no longer be permitted to use the name “Nosey Heaux” because we will take her trademark from her when she does not have enough money to pay the judgment. Anyone else who spreads lies about Nicki will suffer a similar fate. My marching orders are to aggressively sue anyone with a media or social media following who damages her with intentional lies. Eventually, the lesson will be learned.
