  "account": "Nicki Minaj's former legal team, Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, has once again turned to the courts, seeking payment of over $295,000 in unpaid legal fees. This request comes in the wake of the rapper's recent public support for President Donald Trump, including her appearance with the president at a rally in Michigan. The firm's underlying lawsuit, filed in March, was aimed at recovering the money allegedly owed for Minaj's legal services. However, Minaj has yet to respond to the claims. The firm alleges that they billed Minaj and Harajuku Barbie Music LLC $229,541.75 for their work, which remains unpaid. This amount has been supplemented by $25,249.51 in contractual late fees. A hearing to decide on the firm's renewed request for a default judgment is scheduled for November 16.",
