Nicki Minaj's former hairstylist has sued
the star for selling wigs based on his
designs. Terrence Davidson made wigs for
the singer - who is known for her
flamboyant hairpieces - from 2010, the
year her platinum-selling debut album
Pink Friday was released.
The wigs were a large part of the physical
transformation that helped catapult her
to superstardom. In the lawsuit, Mr
Davidson says he and Minaj's
representatives discussed launching a
reality TV show or creating a new wig line.
Instead, Mr Davidson said he was later
ignored by Minaj who went on to sell
branded wigs for massive profits on her
website. He accuses her of harming his
business.
In the lawsuit accessed by Time magazine,
Mr Davidson's lawyer said: "Her lawyers
may complicate it, but we don’t need to
get into intellectual property law. This is
basic American morality. Nicki Minaj lied
to this man and cheated him."
His lawyers added that Mr Davidson
created "fresh, hip and unique wigs" that
"significantly contributed to Minaj’s
unsurpassed notoriety for her wigs".
