EXCLUSIVE: Nicki Minaj’s Lawyers Want To Dump Her In $275K Jingle Ball Fight After Relationship Became “Unreasonably Difficult”

Nicki Minaj‘s lawyers asked to quit her $275,149.62 production dispute after telling a New York court their relationship had broken down beyond repair.

Attorney Bruce W. Bieber described strategy clashes and failed communication in an October 23 filing seeking permission for his firm to withdraw.

Kurzman Eisenberg Corbin & Lever represented both the rapper and Pink Friday Productions LLC in the lawsuit brought by 24/7 Productions.

“Irreconcilable differences have arisen between KECL and [Nicki Minaj] concerning the conduct of the representation. Counsel and [Nicki Minaj] have been unable to align on litigation strategy, and the attorney-client relationship has irretrievably broken down such that continued representation is no longer feasible or appropriate. There has also been a breakdown in communication.”

“The foregoing circumstances have rendered effective representation unreasonably difficult and constitute good cause for withdrawal. To protect attorney-client confidences and privileges, KECL has not set forth the substance of confidential communications and respectfully requests leave to provide further detail for in camera review should the Court require it.”

24/7 sued in March over December 2023 Jingle Ball shows in Chicago and Atlanta and New York events promoting Pink Friday 2.

That dispute included hotel spending that reached well beyond a room for the rapper, according to the production company’s account.

The Langham New York bill filed as evidence totaled $103,730, including a suite priced at $9,500 nightly for a seven-night stay.

Minaj used Tori Spaulding as her hotel alias, and the account also covered four other rooms occupied by her team.

A private kitchen dinner on December 12 cost $1,939.66, while the bill also listed room deliveries and purchases from the minibar.

Those minibar items included Evian water, Coca-Cola, Pringles and M&M’s Peanuts, according to AllHipHop’s reporting on the receipts submitted in court.

A separate Four Seasons stay in Fort Lauderdale totaled $25,197.85, including a $3,800 nightly suite and rooms for security and a stylist.

The production company said it fronted those costs, but Minaj disputed the debt and the attempt to make her personally responsible.

In a July 31 filing, Pink Friday Productions said it had paid the debt, while her lawyers described the hospitality costs as approved.

Her lawyers also argued that membership in Pink Friday Productions LLC alone did not make her liable for the company’s obligations.

In February, TMZ reported that Matthew Abbott sought to leave Minaj’s defense in a separate $10 million case brought by Tameer Peak.

Peak later withdrew that lawsuit in June, ending the separate case before this latest representation dispute.

Bieber also asked for time to allow replacement lawyers to step in if the court permitted his firm to leave.

“Granting this application will not unduly prejudice Plaintiff. Any limited delay occasioned by withdrawal can be addressed by a reasonable stay permitting [Nicki Minaj] to retain substitute counsel.”

The firm further requested permission to serve the withdrawal papers through the clients’ last known email address and overnight mail.
