A security guard is asking a court to let him seize and sell Nicki Minaj’s $20 million mansion to collect on an unpaid judgment.
A motion, viewed by Complex, was filed in a Los Angeles court on Oct. 6 by Thomas Weidenmüller, a security guard who won a judgment of just over $500,000 after an alleged 2019 incident in Frankfurt, Germany, in which he claims Minaj’s husband, Kenneth “Zoo” Petty, attacked him while Minaj allegedly incited and participated. Minaj and Petty never responded to the suit, so Weidenmüller won a default judgment.
The new motion says that Weidenmüller made multiple unsuccessful attempts to collect the judgment since April 2024—including trying to serve the couple at their gated residence and sending levy notices to Apple, UMG, Capitol Records, and Live Nation, among others.
His legal team now wants to enforce the judgment by selling Minaj’s mansion in Hidden Hills, California, which she reportedly purchased in 2022 for $19.5 million and is now appraised at $20 million.
After subtracting a $13.26 million mortgage and a $722,151 homestead exemption, Weidenmüller’s legal counsel argues there’s still about $6 million in equity available that is “more than sufficient to satisfy the judgment.”
“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,” read the document. “There is little doubt that she is highly capable of paying the judgment in full and, yet, she has refused to do so despite multiple written requests for payment and levies served upon several of her suspected creditors.”
The judge in the case has not yet responded to Weidenmüller’s request.
The news of the motion comes after Minaj revealed on her Instagram Stories that multiple individuals had been using her American Express card without permission, sharing screenshots of multiple transactions up to $8,000. She went on to allege that some of the thieves had been stealing from her “for years” and that one of the bandits had been tracking her movements with a device that linked directly to their own phone.
Recently, Cardi B made her own accusations, claiming that Petty took possession of his wife's credit card, writing, “The only person that have the power is Kenneth Petty… but you know what happens wit that Amex when you sedated.”
It’s unclear if Cardi's message was related to Minaj’s recent posts.
“Let’s see if they’ll go to jail for their ring leaders,” Minaj wrote in a post. “Caught RED handed being thieves & worse.”
