Back in September last year, the 'Super Freaky Girl' hitmaker sued the blogger, whose real name is Marley Green, for defamation as she accused the rapper of using cocaine.

AceShowbiz - Nicki Minaj is seeking justice. The Trinidadian hip-hop artist has requested a default judgment in her defamation lawsuit against blogger Nosey Heaux, whom she accused of insulting her son Papa Bear.
According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, the "Super Freaky Girl" rapper's lawyer Judd Burstein asked the Clerk of the Court to issue a certificate of default on Thursday, February 23.
Judd said Nosey, whose real name is Marley Green, failed to respond to the lawsuit. "Defendants have not answered or otherwise moved with respect to the complaint and the time for them to do so has expired," Judd wrote.
Nicki sued Nosey back in September 2022. Attorney Bobby Samini, who's representing Nosey, agreed to accept service for the blogger in October 2022.
Judd served Nosey by emailing a copy of the summons and complaint to Bobby in October 2022. Nicki's lawyer proposed extending the deadline to respond in December 2022. The court approved the request, setting a new deadline of January 16. However, Judd never heard back from Nosey.
Nicki pursued legal action against Nosey after the blogger accused the rapper of using cocaine. The 40-year-old artist also took issue with remarks about her child. "The Defendants herein have outrageously defamed [Nicki Minaj] by posting a video on their Twitter page in which Defendant Marley Green, who goes by the name of 'Nosey Heaux,' falsely and maliciously stated that [Nicki Minaj] is a 'cokehead' who is 'shoving all this cocaine up her nose,' " Judd wrote in the lawsuit.
"Further, evidencing a fundamental lack of decency, Green has also posted vile comments about [Nicki Minaj's] one year-old son," the complaint further read. "While these comments are not actionable, they nonetheless demonstrate why punitive damages should be awarded in this case."
Judd insisted his client never used cocaine. The lawyer claimed Nosey acted with "actual malice" because she knew the allegation was false or at least "knew that there was a high probability that it was false." Nicki is seeking at least $75,000 in damages.
