A concert promoter asked a court to award him a 7-figure sum from Nicki Minaj’s company after she failed to appear for a concert — and then allegedly refused to return the deposit.

According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, a British Virgin Islands-based company named BS Associates Company Limited [BSA] was awarded $1.4 million in an arbitration case against Minaj’s company Pink Personality.

In 2022, BSA filed a claim against Pink Personality over a 2018 deal she signed to perform in China. The promoter said it agreed to pay $1 million to Minaj’s company.

Per the suit, BSA sent the money to Minaj’s agents at CAA and the funds were to be held in an escrow account. Two weeks before the scheduled show, the rapper allegedly asked BSA to release $250k from the escrow account. BSA said they agreed.

However, BSA claimed Minaj didn’t show up to the scheduled show on September 18, 2018. The promoter said it tried to reschedule a new date with Minaj and her agents.

BSA said Minaj claimed to open to a rescheduled date if BSA would “release additional funds from Escrow as a show of good faith.”
