Alleged Victim Of Nicki Minaj And Kenneth Petty Details “Ferocious Attack,” Seeks Default Judgement

by

The alleged victim of Nicki Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty is now requesting that the court provide him with a default judgement. The security guard, Thomas Weidenmüller, claims that during one of the rap diva’s 2019 performance an overzealous fan bypassed security and made their way up to the stage. Luckily, the fan wasn’t ever able to get to Nicki, as security intervened just in time. According to Weidenmüller, however, Nicki was still extremely upset by the situation and took it out on a female guard.

Weidenmüller says that he ran into the couple later, and Nicki “screamed obscenities” at him. “Petty repositioned himself out of my eyesight and without warning struck me in the face, which stunned and disoriented me. Because of the surprise nature of the attack, I am not sure as to whether Petty hit me with his fist or with a weapon,” the lawsuit reads.

According to the suit, he’s had to have seven jaw surgeries in attempts to repair the damage caused by the “ferocious attack.” He’s seeking a default judgement now for $750K in medical expenses, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. “The pain I felt in the moment was far more extreme than any pain I had ever experienced in my life, or have felt since that day,” Weidenmüller claims. “I felt a blinding pain in my head, neck, and face.”

He adds that he’ll likely need to undergo four additional surgeries as part of his healing process. “The doctors must still insert implants into my jaw as a part of the reconstruction process. In the interim, the doctors have inserted donor bones from a deceased person into my mouth in order to preserve space for future implants.”

Cardi B Looks To Seize Tasha K’s Property

by

Cardi B reportedly took a huge step towards collecting her $4 million defamation judgement from Tasha K- and it’s not pretty. Moreover, the court reportedly issued a “writ of execution” to the blogger and Kebe Studios LLC in Georgia on Thursday (April 20), according to AllHipHop. Said judgement permits Cardi to seize Tasha K’s property in order to gain the money owed from the rapper’s victorious case. Following a 2019 lawsuit, the court found Tasha guilty of invasion of privacy, defamation, and deliberate infliction of emotional distress in 2022. While she could seize more assets than just property, it’s still quite the aggressive turn for the case.

On that note, people online are split between seeing this as righteous retribution or going a little too far. “I love how Cardi not letting up on Tasha K! Shouldn’t have been talking s**t,” one user wrote on Twitter. Another differed; “I wish Cardi B would let that shid go…. I’m getting so tired of seeing this back and forth shid with Tasha K… Now she tryna take that woman house…. b***h you got money and a few houses Let it tf go!!! Got damn!!!”

Cardi B Wants Her $4 Million Defamation Judgement

Given that Cardi B even checked to see if she got the payment, apparently that wasn’t the case. Also, Tasha K apparently responded to this new development on her Twitter account. Previously, she apologized to the 30-year-old after losing her appeal. Now, her response seemed to lightly refer to her other debts and hinted towards a payment queue. “Look! Sis & Law I Know you need that cause work is slow for all of us right now, but right now, I ain’t got it!” she tweeted. “But let your lawyers know that when I’m up, you gone be up & stuck… You get first dibs after this irs bill gets paid…”

Meanwhile, this is far from the only controversy Tasha K got into with a celebrity, although it’s certainly the most high-profile. For example, R. Kelly claimed that the blogger tampered with witnesses in his case. With all this in mind, hopefully these legal troubles find resolution in more amicable ways. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B and Tasha K. In addition, check out the latter’s apparent response to Cardi potentially seizing her property down below.

Dame Dash Ordered To Turn Over Tax Returns

by

A judge recently ordered Dame Dash to hand over his tax returns, a legal battle that stems from an earlier lawsuit. Moreover, filmmaker Josh Webber wants to see his 2021 and 2022 documents to collect a huge judgement from a successful lawsuit he filed against the Roc-A-Fella cofounder. According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, these revelations could further inform Webber of Dame’s assets, sources of income, business dealings, and possible conflicts of interest. Furthermore, the filmmaker originally sued him in 2019 after he and Muddy Water Pictures claimed they hired Dash to co-direct the film Dear Frank in 2016, but fired him two years later for allegedly being high on set.

However, that’s not the true crux of the case, as the 51-year-old allegedly promoted himself as a producer for the flick after his removal from the project. This is what prompted legal action, especially since Dame Dash was changing the title of the film to The List according to the suit. Eventually, in March of 2022, Webber and Muddy Waters Pictures emerged victorious against the music executive, which brings us here.

Dame Dash Must Hand Over Tax Returns

Moreover, the jury awarded the film company $30,000 for copyright infringement and $125,000 in punitive damages. On his end, Webber received $400,000 in compensatory damages for defamation and $250,000 in punitive damages. All in all, the multimedia entrepreneur owed a total of $805,000 to plaintiffs. Regardless, he still posted on his Instagram about the case and stood by his side of the story. “You have to lose some battles to win a war,” he expressed. “Stay tuned #fatliars #youllneverbeme. Don’t ever say you Directed MY movie.”

Despite all this, Jay-Z’s former partner continued to misstep in the legal process, at least on paper. He did not respond to debtor interrogatory discovery in December of 2022, and did not produce requested tax returns in 2023. Also, he missed an additional date in February, adding to his record. That $800,000 remains due, according to reports. With all that being said, come back to HNHH for more updates on this story and the latest on Dame Dash.

R. Kelly Ordered To Pay Sexual Abuse Victims $300K For Herpes & Psychological Treatment

by

R. Kelly’s bank account is drying up after a judge ordered him to cough up six-figures to his sexual abuse victims.

A federal judge in Brooklyn ruled on Wednesday that the singer will have to cough up $300K to one of his sexual abuse victims for treatment towards herpes and psychological treatment.

Kelly’s conviction in New York already sent him to prison but the latest update from the judge details the monetary punishment he’s facing. A victim named “Jane” must receive $300K from Kellz to cover treatment for STDs and psychological help due to the trauma she suffered. A judge issued a similar order for another victim named “Stephanie.” However, the judge didn’t set a number yet. A judge also denied a third victim restitution.

A judge handed down a 30-year sentence to R. Kelly this year in the federal New York case.

Kelly was also convicted in another federal case in Chicago where he was accused of similar sex crimes. However, the case also surrounded the 2008 child pornography trial, where he was accused of obstruction.

There’s a good chance R. Kelly will have to cough up even more money for the victims in the Chicago case, though a judge hasn’t determined how much.

Kelly’s recent court filings revealed that he is down on cash these days. Earlier this month, a judge ruled to seize $27K out of his commissary account, leaving the singer with only $500. The amount seized from his commissary will be distributed among his victims.
