Nicki Minaj’s Hidden Hills Mansion Could Be Sold to Pay $500K Security Guard Judgment

LA Judge Eyes Nicki Minaj’s Mansion Over $500K Judgment
A Los Angeles judge is preparing to order the forced sale of Nicki Minaj’s $20 million Hidden Hills mansion after the rapper and her husband, Kenneth Petty, failed to pay a $503,318 judgment owed to a former security guard.

Background on the Case
The security guard, Thomas Weidenmuller, suffered a broken jaw and other injuries during an alleged backstage assault at a 2019 Frankfurt concert. Petty allegedly punched Weidenmuller after he intervened during a confrontation between Minaj and another security guard.

After years of attempts to collect the judgment—including written requests, levies, and contacting multiple potential garnishees—Weidenmuller still has not received payment.

Court Ruling and Mansion Sale
Judge Cindy Pánuco stated her intent to grant the sale, pending a final mortgage statement from Bank of America detailing Minaj’s $13.3 million loan payoff. With the home appraised at $20 million, the sale would leave enough equity to satisfy the judgment and Minaj’s homestead exemption.

The judge scheduled a follow-up hearing for January 22 to finalize the sale order. If approved, Minaj’s Hidden Hills property—listed as her sole asset—will go to auction to cover the debt.

Ongoing Legal Troubles for Kenneth Petty
Petty remains involved in a separate sexual assault lawsuit in Brooklyn federal court related to a 1994 attempted rape conviction. He has also faced legal consequences for failing to register as a sex offender in Los Angeles and violated probation in 2023.

Next Steps
The eyes of the public and legal observers are on January, as the court could officially move forward with selling the mansion to satisfy the judgment. This case highlights the long-term consequences for celebrities who ignore court-ordered payments.
