Nicki Minaj gets retraction in settlement of cocaine use allegations

Nicki Minaj has reportedly won a major victory in a settlement with a blogger who accused her of serious misconduct.

TMZ wrote that Minaj had settled her lawsuit against Marley “Nosey Heaux” Green, a blogger who posted a video about the star in September 2022 claiming she was a “cokehead.”

The terms of the agreement, TMZ says, Green admits that everything she knows about the Pinkprint Rapper and cocaine are untrue and she has no evidence for her claims.

In addition, Green is banned from saying anything about Nicki and cocaine or her child, or even retweeting comments that say the rapper has engaged in illegal activities. Each violation will cost Green $50,000.

Green posted her original comments, for which she now admitted she had no evidence, in a video on September 12, 2022.

“[Nicki] shoves all this cocaine up her nose,” she said. “Allegedly. Thanks. Allegedly. But we all know it's true. Damn, listen. I can't even say 'allegedly' in this context because we all know it's true. I'm not saying 'allegedly'. Nicki Minaj is a cokehead.”

Green was also accused of making “disgusting” comments about Minaj's son, calling her family's bloodline “disgusting,” and saying her son needed therapy because her “baby is going to be a rapist, too.”

In response, Minaj tweeted part of a TMZ Article about her lawsuit against Green, in which her lawyer Judd Burstein said, “When this case is over, she won't be able to use the name 'Nosey Heaux' anymore because we're going to take the trademark away from her if she doesn't 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 harms her with deliberate lies. Eventually the lesson will be learned.”

While Minaj insisted that “Nosey Heaux” was a “nobody” in the court documents, Burstein pointed out that the “Cokehead” video received more than 2,000 likes and more than 250 retweets on Twitter. Minaj's lawsuit was for defamation, and she originally sought at least $75,000 in damages.
