           Jack Dickey of Time Magazine published an article on February 28, 2014. The unexpected yet interesting article, “Former ‘Wig Guru’ Sues Rapper Nicki Minaj” discusses famous celebrity and rapper Nicki Minaj’s incident with her former wig designer. Terrence Davidson, Minaj’s former ‘wig guru’ is said to be filling a law suit against her for stealing and licensing designs he had made and customized just for her. Minaj did not inform him about any new changes she was making and disclosed him from massive profits. Time Magazine later learned, that Minaj and he team had also discouraged him from joining a “multi-million-dollar” deal, using the excuse that it would “disrupt their partnership.” Davidson’s attorney Cristopher Chestnut plans to pursue at least thirty million dollars in damages for Davidson. Davidson and Minaj had started working together in January of 2010 when Minaj had released her album Pink Friday. Ever since their first collaboration, Davidsons designed have been a big part of Minaj’s identity as well as career. As Minaj gained fame, so did her wigs and Davidson. Apparently, many opportunities arose for Davidson, but his partnership with Minaj stood in the way. Finally, in 2013 Davidson left Minaj and her team saying it was due to their “creative differences”. Now, Minaj has started her own line of Wigs on her website, but are they really hers?
