⚖️COURT UPDATE⚖️There is a MAJOR new development in Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, LLP V. Nicki Minaj and Harajuku Barbie Music, LLC. case.
The Los Angeles Superior Court has REJECTED Gordon Rees’ renewed attempt to obtain a default judgment.
The rejection notice was issued NOVEMBER 12, 2026
Gordon Rees recently renewed its request seeking approximately $295,605.41 against Nicki Minaj and Harajuku Barbie Music.
But according to the new rejection notice, the packet STILL does not address the deficiencies identified when the Court previously rejected entry of default judgment on SEPTEMBER 8, 2026
The Court identifies several specific problems.
The Court notes that Gordon Rees is seeking unpaid legal fees based on an UNSIGNED CONTRACT
The firm previously relied on emails involving another attorney as evidence that the engagement agreement had been accepted on Nicki and Harajuku’s behalf.
But the Court now says those emails do NOT prove that an agent signed or otherwise accepted the agreement on behalf of the defendants.
That creates a major problem for Gordon Rees’ contract-based damages request.
The Court does acknowledge that Gordon Rees may potentially recover outside the unsigned contract under a QUANTUM MERUIT THEORY.
Basically, a claim for the reasonable value of services actually provided.
BUT the Court says Gordon Rees has not provided evidence showing why the requested amount represents the reasonable value of its services; or a calculation supporting the amount under quantum meruit.
So even though that theory may be legally available, the current packet does not establish the requested damages through it.
Gordon Rees also sought attorneys’ fees based on the engagement agreement.
The Court says that request is also unsupported because👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
•The contract is unsigned.
•Gordon Rees has not proven the agreement is enforceable.
•The firm has not identified another legal basis entitling it to recover attorneys’ fees.
Love Island stars Leah and Serena show love to the Queen of Rap, Nicki Minaj, in a new video.
“There will be no women’s rap in the industry without Nicki.”
A fact that cannot be disputed.
Look at Kenneth in this video, literally picking his nose like a kid. He was YOUNG. They were both teenagers, and he didn't have the money, resources or legal support that people have today. Then years later, footage surfaces of Jennifer Hough saying she wanted to drop the charges, that she made a mistake and that she was young herself. Yet people refuse to acknowledge any of the context surrounding this story. The video speaks for itself, and people deserve to look at the full story instead of running with whatever narrative they were fed.
