Nicki Minaj is being sued over some alleged unpaid bills for custom jewelry however, her attorney says she is not responsible, and claims the jeweller is just using the rapper for publicity.

The “Bang Bang” rapper is being sued by a West Hollywood jeweller who claims they loaned out some bling to the rapper which is a standard transaction for celebs, but the jeweller claims some of those pieces came back damaged.

Reportedly, the lawsuit says Nicki’s stylist Brett Alan Nelson signed a contract with Roseark jewelry store, with Roseark agreeing to loan Nicki jewelry for a public appearance.

The store claims the contract called for Brett to return the bling within a week and pay for any damages the jewelry might incur under his watch.

It’s claim is that, Nicki’s stylist failed to return 66 pieces of jewelry by the agreed deadline, and, when Brett finally forked over the bling, there was noticeable damage to a set of earrings and a leaf ring.

Everything was reportedly returned on time as promised and it was only after items were in the jeweller’s possession for some time that the store complained about a missing stone.

The jewelry store says it sent invoices to Brett for the damage, which it says totals $26,239.50 plus interest and must be paid.
