Nicki Minaj famous rapper has sued a social media user for making a defamation remake on her. The user has called the rapper a “cockhead” over a viral video on Twitter. 

In a complaint filed Wednesday in New York federal court, Minaj’s attorneys claimed that a woman named Marley Green was behind the @noseyheauxlive account – and that she had “outrageously defamed” the rapper with a video this week claiming she was “shoving all this cocaine up her nose.”

Nicki Minaj said that she had been brutally tried to defame by Onika Tanya Marah who owns the real account that claimed the hoax. The tweet despite being fake has been tweeted multiple times and has clouded the real fact from people. 

 Minaj’s lawyers wrote. “While social media is an extraordinarily effective vehicle for spreading lies,” they added,” it does not confer a license to do so.”

Nosey Heaux’s account on Twitter posted the video on Monday (Sept 12). In that video Green stated that Minaj “shoving all this cocaine, shoving in all this cocaine up her nose. Allegedly. Thank you. Allegedly. But we all know it’s true. Fuck—listen, I can’t even say allegedly with that ‘cause I—we know it’s true. I’m not saying allegedly on that. Nicki Minaj is a cokehead.”

Wednesday morning in a tweet  after news of the lawsuit came out, the @noseyheauxlive account tweeted that Minaj had “lied.” In another tweet days earlier, the account said: “I stand by wtf I said @NICKIMINAJ WAS ON INSTAGRAM WITH COCAINE RUNNING OUT OF HER NOSE.” The account did not return direct messages seeking comment on the new lawsuit.

Minaj’s attorney Judd Burstein said: “Marley Green is a disgrace — someone so lacking in fundamental decency that she has posted vile comments about Nicki’s one-year-old son. When this case is over, she will no longer be permitted to use the name ‘Nosey Heaux’ because we will take her trademark from her when she does not have enough money to pay the judgment.”

There had been a similar incident when Cardi B Syed a YouTuber claimed drug consumption and other illegal illicit behavior. During that trial, Cardi won a $4 million verdict after jurors said that women who own a YouTube channel had defamed Cardi B. 

In his statement, Burstein warned that more such cases could be coming: “Anyone else who spreads lies about Nicki will suffer a similar fate. My marching orders are to aggressively sue anyone with a media or social media following who damages her with intentional lies.
