Nicki Minaj is being sued by a security guard after her husband brutally attacked a security guard, breaking his jaw, resulting in an active arrest warrant in Germany.
According to legal documents, obtained by The Blast, Thomas Weidenmuller is suing the rapper for battery and infliction of emotional distress. In the filing, Weidenmuller claims he was working as head of security for Nicki's 2019 concert in Frankfurt, Germany.
During the concert, a fan was able to bypass security and gain access to the stage. Of course, this enraged Minaj after the "concert-goer breached a security barricade dividing the audience from the stage and was able to get on stage while Minaj was performing. In obtaining access to the stage, the concert-goer bypassed a female security guard stationed at the stairs leading to the stage."

The security guard claims "the concert-goer did not cause harm to any other person, nor did he damage any property during or after his limited time on stage. He simply danced on stage to the music. He did not attempt to, and did not actually, make any physical contact with Minaj while on stage."
Following the show, Thomas alleges that Nicki Minaj and a "substantial" entourage confronted the female security guard about the incident, so he joined the conversation as head of security.
Nicki was "irate during this confrontation and screamed at the female security guard that she was a f---ing bitch and accused her of having put Minaj in physical danger. During the confrontation, the female security guard was in tears and apologized to Minaj," according to the suit.

At the time, Minaj was reportedly unsatisfied with the apology and began filming the interaction -- demanding the woman "tell Minaj's fans, via the recording, that she failed to do her job and put Minaj in danger." As the groups were separated, Minaj allegedly "threw her shoes" at the security guard, but missed.
Following the incident, Weidenmuller claims he was summoned backstage following the concert to speak with the artist. Nicki's then-boyfriend, Kenneth Petty, approached him with Minaj and two other personal bodyguards. According to the suit, Minaj started hurling insults and obscenities at him, again, accusing him of having a physical or romantic relationship with the other female security guard.
Security Guard Hospitalized for TEN Days Following Brutal Attack
"Without warning, Petty PUNCHED Weidenmuller from the side and made contact with the right side of [his] face," he says. At the time, the man says he was "instantly in extreme pain and was momentarily disoriented and had to step aside, around the corner, to collect himself." He continued, "After two or three minutes, and under the belief that his jaw was broken, Weidenmuller turned the corner again, returning to the location where Petty hit him."
The police were reportedly called to the scene, and a criminal investigation was launched.
Due to the severity of the injuries, the man was allegedly hospitalized for ten days and "sustained a broken jaw as a result of Petty's brutal attack."

"Following his discharge from the hospital, he was unable to eat solid foods for some time and required to sleep upright because, if he laid down horizontally, the concussion that he sustained would cause him to experience extreme headaches," he reported.
Shockingly, Weidenmuller says he endured EIGHT surgeries on his face and now has "five plates in his jaw."
Kenneth Petty reportedly has a warrant out for his arrest in Germany, to this day, after a criminal investigation into the attack.
