After two years of court battles, Nicki Minaj has reached a settlement with her former wig maker.Terrence Davidson filed documents Friday (April 1) to dismiss his $30 million lawsuit.
Davidson first filed the case in February 2014, claiming Nicki did not properly compensate him for his work helping make her signature look with his wigs. He went on to add that after their business relationship ended, she stole his wig designs and was selling them to the public. He also claimed that she promised to do a reality show with him that never came to fruition. Meanwhile, Nicki claimed she never had any formal contracts with Davidson and that hairstyles are not able to be trademarked.
Nicki won the first decision and the judge ruled that she owed nothing to the wig maker. However, Davidson took the case to appeals court, which ruled in his favor, saying that the oral agreement between the two parties was enough to garner a case. The court said that under their agreement, Davidson would make wigs for Minaj’s personal use and she broke that contract by taking his designs to the marketplace.
Upon dismissing the case, Davidson now revokes all claims against Nicki.
