American rapper Nicki Minaj has announced that Nigerian social media influencer Dr. Penking has been added to a lawsuit involving allegations of cyberbullying and copyright infringement. The development follows a public exchange between the two on the social media platform X.
The dispute began after Dr. Penking shared a previously recorded video of the rapper on his profile. The influencer posted the clip alongside a comment criticizing the artist’s career longevity.
“Nicki Minaj should understand that she has gotten old and retire.”
The post quickly attracted attention online and sparked a response from the rapper. Nicki Minaj replied directly to the tweet, questioning whether the influencer had authorization to repost the footage. In a now-deleted post, Nicki Minaj replied:
“Do you have permission to use this video that I filmed years ago to harras me on this or any platform? You’ve just been added to the suit.”
Her response suggests that the legal action relates to two main concerns. The first is the alleged unauthorized use of video content she filmed years earlier. The second is the intent behind the post, which she claims amounts to harassment.
According to the exchange, the lawsuit involves the use of her intellectual property across digital platforms. The case appears to focus on how the footage was reposted and the accompanying commentary shared online.
Dr. Penking’s original post included a video described as “sizzling” footage filmed years ago. His caption focused on the artist’s age and suggested that she should retire from the music industry.
At the time of the exchange, no further details were provided regarding the court jurisdiction or the complete list of defendants in the case. As a result, the public interaction on X remains the primary source of information about the reported legal action involving the Nigerian influencer.
