A trespasser was taken into custody on Wednesday morning after being discovered in the backyard of Nicki Minaj’s Hidden Hills residence, according to ew.com. Deputies from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department apprehended the man after neighbours spotted him wandering the grounds of the rapper’s estate and alerted the authorities.
Sources indicate that Nicki Minaj was not at home during the incident.
The security breach follows a turbulent period for the property, which was recently at the centre of a protracted legal dispute. Earlier this year, Minaj settled a $500,000 lawsuit involving her husband, Kenneth Petty, and a former security guard, narrowly avoiding a court-ordered sale of the $20 million mansion.
The “Anaconda” singer, 43, has frequently made headlines recently for her shifting political stances, including her public endorsement of the “Trump gold card” immigration programme. Despite the recent legal and political scrutiny surrounding the star, police have not suggested any link between the intruder and the rapper’s controversial public profile.
