American rapper Nicki Minaj has been dragged to court over alleged unpaid bills for custom jewelry.
A West Hollywood jeweler, Roseark Jewellery Store, is suing the rapper after she damaged some jewelry they loaned her.
Meanwhile, Nicki’s attorney said she’s not responsible, claiming the jeweler is just using her for publicity.
According to a new lawsuit, Nicki’s stylist, Brett Alan Nelson, signed a contract with Roseark Jewellery Store, with Roseark agreeing to loan Nicki jewelry for a public appearance.
The store also said the contract called for Brett to return the jewelry within a week and pay for any damages the jewelry might incur under his watch.
However, Nicki’s stylist failed to return 66 pieces of jewelry by the agreed-upon deadline, and when he finally did, there was noticeable damage to a set of earrings and a leaf ring.
A source close to Nicki told TMZ that everything was returned on time as promised, and it was only after items had been in the jeweler’s possession for some time that the store complained about a missing stone.
