The basis of Tameer Peak's $5 million complaint against Nicki is her claimed years-long defamation of him, which hurt his reputation among her fan base. Peak claims that their friendship fell up in 2017 after Minaj called him and other fans "paid moles" who were trying to ruin her career.
According to TMZ, Nicki apparently wrote, "It's clear they're not necessarily, you know, a full basket umm at the picnic," during one of their sessions. Peak interpreted that as a sign of mental instability or intellectual weakness. In another, he claims Nicki implied he was on assistance by calling him "one sandwich short of a picnic" and claiming he was getting a check from the government. Peak additionally alleges that Minaj physically attacked him at an event in 2020 and made fun of him in front of thousands of spectators during an Instagram Live session.
Peak is requesting payment for the monetary loss and psychological suffering he endured as a result of Minaj's purported behavior.
In response to the complaint, Minaj's lawyer Judd Burstein stated, "Mr. Peak has been harassing Nicki on social media for years on end without success."
Burstein said to TMZ, "He has now advanced to trying to financially exploit her by making blatantly false accusations and baseless legal defenses." When he is obligated by California law to pay her legal bills, he will regret taking this dishonest path.
