Nicki Minaj is suing a Nigerian influencer for cyberbullying.

The American rapper Nicki Minaj has filed a lawsuit against Nigerian influencer Dr Penking, whom she accuses of cyberbullying and copyright infringement. The case erupted after the influencer posted on the X platform, on Saturday, an old video of the artist accompanied by a comment deemed offensive. In this message, he wrote in particular: “Nicki Minaj should understand that she has aged and should retire.” The rap star quickly reacted, denouncing the use of this sequence without authorization and accusing the influencer of using it to attack her publicly.

In a reply published on the same social network, Nicki Minaj questioned her interlocutor about the legitimacy of this publication before announcing legal action. “Do you have permission to use this video that I filmed years ago to harass me on this platform or any other? You have just been added to the complaint,” she wrote. This case once again illustrates the ongoing tensions between celebrities and influencers on social networks, where questions related to image rights and copyright are regularly at the heart of controversies.
