\n\tNicki Minaj says she isn\u2019t personally on the hook in a lawsuit claiming she owes $275,000 to a concert production company, calling it \u201can ill-advised attempt to sue a famous deep-pocket.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t24\/7 Productions sued the star and her company (Pink Friday Productions) earlier this year, claiming she had refused to reimburse money spent on her HeartRadio\u2019s 2023 Jingle Ball concerts and later that year for her album Pink Friday 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut in her first response last week, attorneys for Minaj say she herself shouldn\u2019t have been named in the \u201cfrivolous\u201d lawsuit at all \u2014 and that 24\/7 Productions just wanted to sue a celebrity.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe entirety of plaintiff\u2019s lawsuit is based on a contract allegedly entered into between plaintiff and [Pink Friday],\u201d the star\u2019s lawyers write in the July 14 filing, obtained and first reported by Billboard<\/em>. \u201cWithout rhyme or reason, [it] treats Pink Friday and Minaj as one and the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMinaj was slapped with the case in March, with 24\/7 Productions claiming it had made \u201cmany attempts\u201d over two years to get the money but that the star\u2019s team had \u201cnever given a reason\u201d for failing to pay: \u201cThe only responses from defendants\u2019 team [has been] the mantra-like \u2018we\u2019ll look into this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBut in the new response last week, Minaj\u2019s legal team said the star herself was not legally involved with the production, as is often the case in such situations.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAt no time did plaintiff render any services or advance any expenses on behalf of Minaj, individually,\u201d the filing says. \u201cMinaj does not owe plaintiff any money \u2026 and dismissal as against Minaj is appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe lawsuit also accused Nicki of \u201cunjust enrichment,\u201d a legal claim based on the allegation that she herself was the \u201csole economic beneficiary of Pink Friday.\u201d But in their response, the star\u2019s attorneys say that was just a litigation tactic aimed at adding her to the case.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIn an ill-advised attempt to sue a famous deep-pocket, plaintiff asserted a fanciful and baseless unjust enrichment claim,\u201d her lawyers write. \u201cIt is a core principle of law that a plaintiff cannot hold a corporate officer personally liable for unjust enrichment when the services performed by the plaintiff were done pursuant to a relationship with the corporate entity. That is precisely what plaintiff seeks to do here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAttorneys for both sides did not immediately return requests for comments.<\/p>\n

\n\tMinaj has faced several legal headaches over debts in recent months. In January, a judge threatened to order the sale of her Los Angeles area mansion before she finally paid a $500,000 judgment to a concert security guard allegedly assaulted by her husband. Then last week, she was sued by a law firm that says she owes $230,000 in unpaid legal bills stemming from a copyright lawsuit.<\/p>\n
