Nicki Minaj's Lawyers Seek to Exit Cases Amid Fee Disputes

In New York, attorneys from Kurzman Eisenberg Corbin & Lever are actively seeking to withdraw from a case against Nicki Minaj, asserting that their relationship has "irretrievably broken down." The firm has reportedly made multiple attempts to disengage, but Minaj has not formally agreed to their withdrawal. These legal proceedings come on the heels of a lawsuit filed by 24/7 Productions, which claims Minaj owes $275,000 for concert expenses.

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, the law firm Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani is pursuing a default judgment of over $295,000 for allegedly unpaid legal fees. These fees are connected to a copyright case from 2023, which has since been settled. The firm alleges that Minaj has failed to respond to their lawsuit seeking payment, leading to their demand for a judgment.

The New York firm's filing on Tuesday, November 4, 2026, details difficulties in serving Minaj with their request to withdraw, noting that attempts to contact her at her residence have been unsuccessful. This situation further complicates Minaj's ongoing legal entanglements, as both her New York and former Los Angeles legal teams signal severe rifts.

The LA firm's filings on Tuesday, November 4, 2026, aim to secure $254,791 in original fees plus an additional $40,814 for the costs associated with the collection case. This highlights a significant financial and strategic conflict between the rapper and her legal representatives.
