Nicki Minaj's attorney, Judd Burstein, has withdrawn from representing her in a ten-million-dollar defamation lawsuit. The case was initiated by a fan named Tameer Peak, who alleges the artist made false statements about him during a livestream.
Despite stepping down, Burstein characterized the litigation as entirely without merit and affirmed his client had committed no wrongdoing. Minaj's business management firm, The Northstar Group, stated it had only recently learned of the lawsuit.
The rapper's team is now seeking a 45-day extension to secure new legal counsel, a move necessitated by the approaching court deadlines following her lawyer's unexpected departure.
