Wig designer's lawsuit against Nicki Minaj dismissed

Atlanta - A federal judge in Atlanta has tossed out a lawsuit filed against rapper Nicki Minaj by her former wig designer.

In a lawsuit filed in February, Terrence Davidson accused Onika Maraj, who uses the stage name "Nicki Minaj," and Pink Personality LLC of breaking implied contracts, reneging on discussions to launch a reality TV show and a wig line, and misappropriating his designs.

Lawyers for Minaj filed a motion in May to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that Davidson failed to state a valid claim.

UA District Judge Harold Murphy on Tuesday issued an order dismissing the lawsuit. Murphy agreed that Davidson did not state viable claims against Minaj and Pink Personality.

A lawyer for Davidson did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment on Thursday.
