Nicki Minaj‘s former wig designer is suing for $30 million.
Terrance Davidson claims Nicki stole his wig designs and licensed them as her own without cutting him any checks. He’s filed a lawsuit against the “Starships” singer in Atlanta, claiming Nicki cheated him out of millions. He’s responsible for her most talked about hair spectacles, including the half blonde, half white wig; the high pink bun wig; and the faux fox fur wig. Davidson claims Nicki and management talked him out of a multimillion dollar reality show deal, citing it would destroy their partnership.
The wig guru began working with the New York artist in January 2010. In 2011, plans were made between the two to sell original wigs and star in a reality show. Come 2012, Nicki soared to fame, touring with Britney Spears and releasing top-charting pop hits. Davidson found himself without a wig line or a reality show deal. In 2013, he parted ways with Nicki due to creative differences.
Nicki currently sells wigs on her own website.
