The legal action stems from a video Dr Penking shared on X on Saturday, which featured an old clip of Minaj. He captioned the post: “Nicki Minaj should understand that she has gotten old and retire.”
Minaj responded by questioning whether Dr Penking had permission to use her video, emphasizing that it was being used to harass her. She confirmed that he had now been added to her ongoing lawsuit.
“Do you have permission to use this video that I filmed years ago to harras me on this or any platform? You’ve just been added to the suit,” she wrote.
The lawsuit highlights ongoing concerns among public figures regarding the unauthorized use of content online and online harassment, with Minaj taking a firm stance against both.
