Nicki Minaj was reportedly the target of a swatting call on Wednesday night when law enforcement swarmed her $19.5M Hidden Hills home in the San Fernando Valley due to an alleged ‘shooter.’

An unidentified caller alerted the LA County Sheriff’s Department – not 911 – at 7:05pm to report an assault with a deadly weapon by ‘a friend’ that ‘shot a female Black adult’ with two other possible black-clad suspects in the area – according to the LA Times.

However, no one was at the eight-bedroom mansion located inside a posh gated community when deputies arrived as the 42-year-old hip-hop star was ‘not even on the West Coast at the time of the incident’ – according to TMZ.

It was the third time in two years Nicki’s LA-area property was swatted after a caller lied about someone getting shot there in July 2023 and another caller lied about her child being abused in June 2023.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Minaj’s (born Onika Maraj) rep for comment on the incident.

The 12-time Grammy nominee is currently embroiled in a civil lawsuit brought on by her ex ‘day-to-day manager’ for assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Brandon Garrett – whom Nicki’s attorney Judd Burstein dubbed an ‘ex assistant’ – accused her of hitting him in the face and wrist following her concert at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, MI on April 20, 2024.

Minaj’s rep called the lawsuit ‘completely false and frivolous’ and the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office denied an arrest warrant request from the Detroit Police Department in January due to ‘insufficient evidence.’

On October 20, the LØCI collaborator and her husband Kenneth Petty celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary, and they’re parents of a four-year-old son publicly known as ‘Papa Bear.’

The 47-year-old ‘music industry professional’ previously served three years probation for failing to register as a sex offender in California.

Nicki was only 16 when she first met Kenneth, who served a combined 11 years in prison for raping a 16-year-old girl in 1995 and shooting a man to death in 2002.

Minaj – who gets 45.3M monthly listeners on Spotify – concluded her $108.8M-grossing, 79-date Pink Friday 2 World Tour on October 11.
