Nicki Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty, have been sued by the woman who Petty was convicted of attempting to rape back in 1995.

Jennifer Hough, the victim of the 1994 lawsuit, filed a new lawsuit with the U.S. District Court in Eastern New York that alleges that both Minaj, born Onika Tanya Maraj, and Petty are intentionally inflicting emotional distress upon Hough, harassing her, as well as witness intimidation “to recant her legitimate claim that Defendant Petty raped her.”

In 1995, Petty was convicted of attempting to rape Hough when she was 16 with a knife. Petty took a plea deal and served four-and-a-half years in prison and was to register as a sex offender.

Petty ran into trouble last March when it was discovered that he did not register as a sex offender in the state of California, since his move in 2019.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, the 1994 lawsuit has been outlined in this new lawsuit, as the plaintiff, Hough, has accused Minaj and Petty of directly and indirectly harassing her and has also threatened her to not speak about the incident. Over the last year, Minaj has allegedly been trying to come to an agreement with Hough, through a mutual friend named Black, who reportedly served as a liaison between the two women through phone calls.

Legal docs state that “During the call, Defendant Minaj stated that she heard Plaintiff was willing to ‘help out’ their situation and stated that she would fly Plaintiff and her family to Los Angeles. Plaintiff declined this offer.”

The lawsuit continues to state that “Defendant Minaj then stated that she would send her publicist to meet with Plaintiff to craft a statement recanting Plaintiff’s rape charge. Plaintiff denied this offer as well. Before they got off the phone, Plaintiff said to Defendant Minaj, ‘I need you to know woman to woman, that this happened.’ Defendant Minaj hung up the phone.” 

In addition, the lawsuit states “Within days of this conversation, Plaintiff and her family suffered an onslaught of harassing calls and unsolicited visits.”

Hough also refused $500,000.00 from Minaj, who stated that it would be given to her if she wrote a letter recanting her rape claim against Petty. Minaj sent legal counsel to Hough’s home as well to help her write the statement. Hough reportedly began to panic because Black (and now Minaj) knew where she lived and what her family looked like. Hough outlines in the lawsuit that she began receiving numerous amounts of threats forcing her to move from Atlanta to Florida. Hough says she continues to live in fear.

“Plaintiff has not worked since May of 2020 due to severe depression, paranoia, constant moving, harassment, and threats from the Defendants and their associates. She is currently living in isolation out of fear of retaliation,” the lawsuit reads.

Minaj’s former Apple Music radio show, Queen Radio, was also mentioned in the lawsuit, as it states that Minaj tried to minimize the severity of Petty’s 1994 rape case where she stated that the plaintiff (Hough) had tried to recant the rape claim.

 “He was 15, she was 16… in a relationship. But go awf Internet,” she told fans on a 2019 episode of Queen Radio.” You’ve gotta cover your husband in prayer.” She then told fans that Hough falsely accused Petty of rape and wrote a letter to recant the claims. Hough has since denied this.

Akademiks, born Livingston Allen, has been sued for sexual assault, rape, and defamation.

The civil suit, filed by his ex-girlfriend Ziya Abashe in Essex County, NJ, on Monday, accuses Akademiks of rape and defamation. According to her attorney Tyrone Blackburn, the suit states that in July 2022, Akademiks invited Abashe to his house, where two of his male friends allegedly drugged her, got her drunk, and raped her.

The lawsuit further alleges that Abashe woke up naked in what she believed to be Mr. Allen’s bedroom around 4 a.m., where she was savagely attacked by Mr. Allen, who allegedly pulled her hair, pried open her legs, and brutally raped her.

Abashe claims to have seen video footage of the incident from surveillance cameras at the property. She also stated that Akademiks asked her to get tested afterward, saying he would do the same. The survivor reported taking a rape kit and making an audio recording of Akademiks discussing the act, as directed by the police.

“I look crazy right now but I’m not going to stand here and let this man continue to lie about me. That’s not what happened Akademiks, you know that’s not what happened,” she said during an Instagram Live in 2023.

Rolling Stone, who first reported the lawsuit, reached out to Akademiks who has not responded for comment.
