Nicki Minaj has secured a significant legal victory, settling a defamation lawsuit with Marley Green, a social media personality who goes by the name “Nosey Heaux.”
The settlement requires Green to issue a public apology, admit that she lied about Minaj, and agree to never mention the rapper in connection with drug use again.
The lawsuit, filed by Minaj in September 2022, stemmed from a video Green posted in which she falsely claimed that Minaj was “shoving all this cocaine up her nose.” The settlement, according to legal documents obtained by TMZ, compels Green to acknowledge that her statements about Minaj using or abusing cocaine were entirely false and without any evidence.
Furthermore, the settlement bars Green from making any further comments about Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, or their son. Green is also prohibited from retweeting or sharing any content that suggests Minaj is involved in illegal or unethical activities. Should Green violate the terms of the agreement, she will be liable to pay Minaj $50,000 for each offence.
This settlement marks a clear win for Minaj, who has taken a strong stance against what she described as “vile” and baseless allegations.
