An American fashion company known as 11eleven eleven11 has sued Nicki Minaj after she rented some costumes and never returned them.
The company claims Nicki and her team contacted them on October 21, 2022 to rent six items and said they “would only need the items for 24 hours.”
The company informed the defendants that Nicki could keep the items for 2-3 days and she’d only be charged a single-day rental fee of $6,750.
The items include a silver jacket, silver boots, a black catsuit with silver crystals and chains, a nude catsuit with beige and gold crystals, a pink leotard with pink and clear crystals, and a black leotard with black feathers.

11eleven11 said they did not take payment upfront because they’ve previously worked with Nicki and had no problems but this time, there was a huge issue..
The company admitted it “agreed to allow defendants, each of them, to pay when the items were returned” — but alleged Minaj and her team “failed and refused to pay the agreed-upon rental rate” and “failed to return the items rented”.
Out of the six items, only black leotard was returned on October 25th 2022, and even that was allegedly damaged and cost the company $3,832.50 to repair.
The lawsuit stated that “after weeks of requesting payment,” the defendants sent a check for $3k, “leaving an unpaid balance of $832.50 for the cost to repair the black leotard and paying no portion of the cost to rent items.”
11eleven eleven11 also alleged that Minaj and her team never returned the five remaining items. The company is suing the Barbie World rapper for breach of oral contract, breach of implied covenant good faith and fair dealing, and conversion, claiming to have suffered monetary damages of “$5,475 per week from October 23, 2022, which continues to accrue on a weekly basis.” – according to RadarOnline.
