U.S. rapper Nicki Minaj has filed a lawsuit against Nigerian social media influencer Dr Penking over alleged cyberbullying and copyright infringement.
The dispute began after Dr Penking shared an old video of the rapper on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday with the caption suggesting that Minaj had “gotten old” and should retire.
Reacting to the post, Minaj questioned whether the influencer had obtained permission to use the video, which she said was originally filmed years ago.
The rapper accused him of using the footage to harass her online and warned that legal action had been taken.
“Do you have permission to use this video that I filmed years ago to harass me on this or any platform?” she wrote.
“You’ve just been added to the suit.”
