Keeping House After Judgment Satisfied

Nicki Minaj will not have to sell her home in order to pay off a bodyguard who her husband, Kenneth Petty, allegedly attacked … because the bodyguard’s lawyer says the judgment’s been satisfied.
The rapper’s team is in court Thursday … and, we thought they had plans to argue that a judge shouldn’t make her sell her Hidden Hills mansion to repay a $500K judgment awarded to Thomas Weidenmuller.
However, we talked to Weidenmuller’s attorney, Paul Saso, before the hearing started … and, he told us they planned to tell the judge Nicki has actually satisfied the judgment.
The hearing is already over — and it’s unclear whether Minaj handed over the whole amount or some percentage of it via a settlement agreement. Saso apologized to the court, saying he had just found about the settlement at the last minute.
ICYMI … a judge awarded Weidenmuller $503,318.02 in a default judgment after Nicki and Petty, did not respond to a lawsuit he filed against them alleging Petty assaulted him backstage of one of Nicki’s 2019 shows.
Nicki has claimed she wasn’t informed of the lawsuit by a former business manager … but, she was still on the hook for the dough.
It’s a good thing Nicki paid the judgment BTW … because the judge admitted the tentative ruling would’ve required Nicki to sell the house — a calamitous outcome for the pop star.
Instead, Nicki can put all this legal drama behind her … because her everything’s great in her “Barbie World” again.
