⚖️💸 Nicki Minaj's Team Said Republic's $250K Promo Budget Was "Extremely Low" — New Court Docs Reveal

📧 The Emails

TMZ got hold of evidence filed in the ongoing legal battle between 24/7 Productions and Nicki Minaj. The company is suing the rapper and her company, claiming it spent over $275K on hotels and travel under a pre-approved budget — and never got reimbursed.

The juiciest part? An alleged email from November 29, 2023, where a member of Nicki's team wrote to 24/7 about the scheduled promo week in New York: "The $250K allowance from Republic [Records] is extremely low. It will cost her at least double that" — adding that "hotels and transportation alone will eat up the whole amount."

The emails break down the Barbz tax: a videographer and photographer at $3K a day ($18K over six days), a seamstress/tailor at $700 a day ($4,200 for the same period). On flights, the team member asked, "Do we know if her son is going with her? Without her son, her normal plane rider is always over $2K each leg." The verdict on the budget's $10K rider allowance: "a little low."

⚖️ The Lawsuit

Quick rewind: 24/7 Productions was hired to coordinate Nicki's performance at Jingle Ball 2023 — for which she was reportedly paid $650K — plus a full week of "Pink Friday 2" promotion in New York. The company handles on-site management, travel, and staffing.

The lawsuit asked for more than $275K in damages, and these emails are being used to help 24/7 prove its case against Nicki and her company. Nicki has denied she's personally responsible for the money and asked to be dismissed from the case.

🔥 The Snubbz Take

Let's be real — $250K for ONE WEEK of Nicki Minaj promo in New York City was never gonna cut it, and her team knew it 😭. But the gag is that these same emails her team wrote are now being used AGAINST her in court. "Extremely low" might go down as the most expensive email ever sent in the Republic offices. Meanwhile the Barbz are doing math in the comments: videographer $3K a day?? We need to switch careers IMMEDIATELY. 💸

🧠 SNUBBZ TAKE: When your own budget complaints become the other side's evidence — that's a plot twist no publicist can spin. Case still pending, Barbz still undefeated.
