\n\tOn the same day Nicki Minaj<\/a> appeared outside a polling station in New Hampshire<\/a> as one of President Trump\u2019s favorite MAGA mouthpieces<\/a>, her former lawyers went back to court with renewed claims she still hasn\u2019t paid an outstanding legal bill that\u2019s about to top $300,000.<\/p>\n

\n\tLawyers for the firm Gordon Recs Scully Mansukhani filed their renewed request for default judgment within minutes of her public appearance Tuesday, saying the \u201cStarships\u201d rapper breached their legal agreement and now owes them $295,605 for services, fees, and interest. The firm represented Minaj in a copyright infringement lawsuit that claimed her song \u201cI Lied\u201d directly copied the instrumentation and beat<\/a> of a copyrighted song titled \u201conmysleeve\u201d by Julius Johnson. The copyright case ended with a private settlement and was dismissed.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe firm said its underlying lawsuit seeking the money, filed in March, \u201chas not been responded to in any way by [the rapper].\u201d Now that 30 days have passed since she was served, the firm is again requesting the $295,605 as a default award. A hearing on the request is set for Nov. 16.<\/p>\n

\n\tReps for Minaj did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Rolling Stone.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs the new request was being filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Minaj made her appearance outside a polling station in Derry, N.H., accompanied by police, according to NBC10Boston<\/a>. She posed for a photo in front of a campaign sign for Anthony DiLorenzo, the Trump-endorsed Republican businessman who lost his bid for Congress to Democrat Stefany Shaheen.<\/p>\n

\n\tMinaj\u2019s election day stop followed after she appeared with Trump<\/a> at a rally in Michigan last week, where she led the crowd in a chant of \u201cWe love Trump.\u201d It was the latest display of her bizarre alliance with a president she once vowed never to endorse.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe don\u2019t want our children to be bombarded with sex changes, right?\u201d she told the crowd before offering to support Trump if he sought a third term. Trump, meanwhile, drew attention to her appearance. \u201cBy the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before: Nicki Minaj! That\u2019s hard to miss,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tMinaj had accompanied Trump to the rally aboard Air Force One, where she staged a mock interview<\/a> in the role of White House press secretary. She praised Trump as a businessman and a \u201cgreat guy\u201d who had \u201cwon three elections,\u201d though he has won two.<\/p>\n

\n\tTuesday\u2019s midterm elections dealt a decisive blow to Trump and his supporters, including Minaj, with Democrats winning control of both the House and Senate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new default judgment sought by the law firm is not Minaj\u2019s first legal battle over an unpaid debt. In January, she narrowly avoided the court-ordered sale of her $20 million Los Angeles mansion when she paid a $500,000 default judgment<\/a> awarded to a security guard who accused her husband, Kenneth Petty, of assaulting him backstage at a 2019 concert in Germany.<\/p>\n
