Jewellers sue Nicki Minaj over damaged borrowed jewellery

Roseark Jewelry Store, a West Hollywood jeweller, has sued American rapper, Nicki Minaj, for damaging some of the pieces of jewellery loaned to her and for unpaid bills for the custom jewellery.

In the lawsuit, the jeweller alleged that Nicki’s stylist, Brett Alan Nelson, signed a contract with it with the jewellers agreeing to loan Nicki jewellery for a public appearance.

The store also said the contract called for Brett to return the jewellery within a week and pay for any damages the jewellery might incur under his watch.

However, Nicki’s stylist failed to return 66 pieces of jewellery by the agreed-upon deadline, and, when he finally did, there was noticeable damage to a set of earrings and a leaf ring.

However, a source close to Nicki Minaj told the media that everything was returned within the deadline agreed upon and it was only after items had been in the jeweller’s possession for some time that the store complained about a missing stone.

Also, an attorney for Minaj said she was not responsible, claiming the jeweller is just using her for publicity.
