Nicki Minaj Album Promo: Budget Dispute
17 Sep
Summary
- Nicki Minaj's team claimed the $250K promotional budget was insufficient.
- The team stated hotels and transportation alone would exceed the allowance.
- A lawsuit claims over $275K in unreimbursed expenses for album promotion.
An alleged email from Nicki Minaj's team indicates dissatisfaction with a $250K promotional budget for her "Pink Friday 2" album. The team expressed concern that the allowance from Republic Records was "extremely low" and that costs for hotels and transportation would exceed this amount.
Details from the email suggested daily expenses for a videographer and photographer totaling $18K, and a seamstress/tailor costing $4,200 over six days. The team also noted potential flight costs over $2K per leg, depending on travel companions.
These communications are part of a lawsuit filed by 24/7 Productions, which claims it is owed more than $275K. The company was hired to manage Minaj's Jingle Ball 2023 performance and a week of "Pink Friday 2" promotion in New York.
Nicki Minaj has denied personal responsibility for the debt and sought dismissal from the lawsuit, which seeks damages for alleged unreimbursed expenses.
