The lawsuit levied against Nicki Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty, stemming from his alleged assault of a security guard in 2019, has now resulted in the plaintiff attempting to further enforce prior judgement that stated he should receive north of a half-million dollars in compensation.
Minaj’s legal team did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Weidenmuller initially requested $21,000 to cover medical bills and $700,000 to cover ongoing injuries as well as his emotional pain and suffering, according toRolling Stone. Ultimately, the judge narrowed those figures down to a combined total of $503,318, which she awarded Weidenmuller under a default judgment.
The $503,318 figure, a default judgement, was likely obtained due to Minaj and Petty’s apparent failure to respond or take action in Weidenmuller’s lawsuit. A default judgment is a judgment that the court enters in “default” when a defendant fails to take action.

Petty wassentenced to three years probationand a year of in-home detention in July 2022, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, after pleading guilty to failing to register as a sex offender in the state of California in 2020.
The filing stated that Petty’s conduct at the time “raises concerns” over his “willingness to comply with the Court’s orders,” and that Petty’s probation officer “believes placement in the Location Monitoring Program will effectively allow for closer monitoring of Mr. Petty’s activities, limit his movements, provide a sanction for his non-compliance,” and “encourage him to reflect upon and reevaluate his current status in the community.”
