Nicki Minaj Faces $30 Million Wig Lawsuit

By


Nicki Minaj’s wig game is strong. But is it stolen?

Last year a judge dismissed a $30 million lawsuit against Minaj by her former hairstylist Terrence Davidson, who said she stole his multi-color wig designs and reneged on a partnership. However an appeals court has just reinstated the case.

Minaj had argued that you can’t trademark wig designs, she never had a contract with Davidson, and he’s just bitter because she got rid of him in 2013.

Now she’ll have to make all these arguments again, and if the court doesn’t buy them she could have to pay big. A wig trial could be tricky, financial considerations aside. But it wouldn’t have nearly the potential for embarrassment as Nicki’s plastic surgeon turning on her would.

Heir to the Afrobeat icon, and international music star, Femi Anikulapo-Kuti has attributed his success to his tutelage under his father, the late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti; first as a trainee, and later as a member of his band. He told The Nation that his father was his first critic, adding that when he played his first composition to his father, he asked how people could dance to it. The singer reminisced, “Fela asked, ‘So how do you want people to dance to this?’ I only thought of the melody when I composed the song, but on speaking to him, I realised that it was important for Africans to be able to dance to the song.”
