Nicki Minaj will avoid questioning from Charles Polevich, the man who killed her father in a hit-and-run accident in 2021. While the rapper’s mother, Carol Maraj, is suing him for $150 million, Polevich wanted to question Minaj about her childhood and the allegations of abuse against her dad. According to court documents obtained by In Touch, a judge in New York denied the request.
“Defendant’s motion … to initiate a commission to the appropriate authority in the State of California so that the nonparty deposition of Ms. Minaj can take place, is denied with leave to renew within thirty (30) days of the date of this decision and order, with notice of entry, upon the submission of proof demonstrating the defendant’s efforts to obtain the cooperation of the nonparty residing out of state,” the judge ordered.

The judge added: “In the event that the defendant is unable to furnish such proof to this Court, within thirty (30) days of the date of this decision and order, with notice of entry, the defendant shall be precluded from obtaining said discovery—to wit, the nonparty deposition of Ms. Minaj.” Maraj described the request as a form of “harassment” in other court documents and suggested Polevich only wanted to “drag the litigation on and depose a celebrity.”
Polevich and his legal team have said they need to get to the bottom of the abuse allegations to determine whether the $150 million in damages Maraj is seeking for her losing her husband’s “comfort” and “companionship” is fair. Minaj has been dealing with more legal drama than just the lawsuit as of late. While performing on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, police arrested her in Amsterdam for alleged drug possession at the airport. Be on the lookout for further updates on Nicki Minaj on HotNewHipHop.
