Nicki Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty's mansion in Hidden Hills, California, has been put on levy. This comes after a former security guard, Thomas Weidenmuller, accused the couple of assaulting him in 2019.Weidenmuller was the head of security of one of Minaj's concerts in Frankfurt, Germany, in 2019. In a lawsuit filed in 2022, he alleged that Petty physically assaulted him, which led to an injury to his jaw. With the couple failing to appear for the trial, the L.A. County Superior Court issued a default judgment, ordering them to pay $ 503,318 in damages to Weidenmuller.However, they have failed to do so, and as per US Weekly, Weidenmuller filed for their mansion in California to be put on a levy. The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department confirmed that it was put on levy on September 16 this year.Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty could have to sell the apartment to pay Weidenmuller the damages. As per Celebrity Net Worth, Petty's net worth is $500,000. He and Minaj knew each other in their teenage years but drifted apart. They reunited in 2018 and got married in 2020.Petty has also dealt with numerous convictions over the years. He was convicted of attempted rape in 1995 and served four years in prison. He then took a plea deal, pleading guilty to manslaughter in 2006, and spent seven years in prison. It's unclear what his primary job is, as Petty is prominently known as Nicki Minaj's husband.

They filed a motion on October 6, which stated:“Minaj is a global music superstar, estimated to have a net worth of anywhere between $150-190 million, and is reportedly the highest paid female rap star in the world.

My lawyers AND business [managers] (old & new) are AWARE. Let’s see if they’ll speak up or if I’ll have to call them out by name. That same business [manager] STOLE from me MANY times.”Weidenmuller and his team alleged that they served the notice to the rapper's residence and also to Bank of America, who hold the mortgage of the house.Also Read: “She should sue them to oblivion”: Netizens react to ‘The Breakfast Club’ reportedly claiming Nicki Minaj is schizophrenic
