Hotel charges covering room service, private meals and minibar items have entered the court record in Nicki Minaj’s ongoing legal fight with a production company. 24/7 Productions is attempting to collect expenses it claims remain unpaid from the rollout of the rapper’s Pink Friday 2 album. Court records obtained by TMZ show the company submitted itemized hotel bills as evidence in its case against Minaj. It says it paid around $250,000 for travel and accommodations connected to her promotional events in late 2023. According to the complaint, nearly half of that amount involved personal costs that Minaj and her team allegedly promised to repay.

One of the documents details a stay at the Langham Hotel in New York City, where Minaj reportedly remained during the week before Pink Friday 2 was released. Records list seven nights inside a luxury suite at a total cost of approximately $76,000. After taxes and other charges, the nightly price reportedly reached about $9,500.

The submitted bills also list almost $4,000 in extra costs charged to the room. More than $2,200 reportedly went toward private kitchen meals, room service, parking, cash advances and minibar products such as bottled water, Coca Cola, Pringles and M&M’s. Another bill from the Four Seasons in Fort Lauderdale shows additional spending during a December 2023 visit. Those reported purchases included meals delivered to the room, breakfast, late night food, dining beside the pool and restaurant orders.

The documents belong to a wider contractual disagreement involving work 24/7 Productions completed for Minaj’s 2023 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball performances and Pink Friday 2 promotional appearances. The company says it paid the costs in advance based on an agreement that the money would later be returned. Legal filings also state that Minaj received about $600,000 for the Jingle Ball shows, while her Pink Friday 2 World Tour eventually generated over $100 million.

Minaj disputes that she owes the money. She reportedly argues that the case lacks legal grounds because she was not personally named as a party in the contract involved.

Kavinsky, the French DJ and electronic musician widely known for ‘Nightcall’, has died at the age of 50.

The artist, whose real name was Vincent Belorgey, was discovered inside his Paris home by authorities at approximately 10:30pm local time on Tuesday, July 28.

French publication Le Figaro reported that emergency services were contacted by a worried neighbour who had not seen Belorgey around the building for several days.

The outlet said his death is suspected to have been caused by a stroke. In the days before he died, the musician reportedly told people close to him that he had been experiencing intense headaches.

According to France24, Paris police confirmed that “an investigation into the causes of death has been opened in order to determine the origin of the death”. Officials also stated that “no suspicious elements were discovered at the scene by the first responders”.

Kavinsky achieved his greatest recognition with ‘Nightcall’, which became a major part of the soundtrack to the 2011 Ryan Gosling movie Drive.

He later performed the track during the closing ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Following the appearance, it set a new record as the most Shazamed song within a single day.

Messages honouring Kavinsky began circulating soon after his death was announced. Clément Beaune, France’s former Secretary of State for European Affairs and Minister for Transport, wrote on X that the country had lost an “immense artist”.

“From ‘Odd Look’ to ‘Nightcall’, and with so much emotion during the Games, Kavinsky made generations dance. And he will continue to make many more dance,” Beaune wrote.

French broadcaster Canal+ remembered him as an “iconic figure of French Touch”. One admirer said they were “heartbroken” by his death and described the musician as “very kind and had a brilliant vision/story”.

Lovefoxxx of CSS provided the vocals for the original recording of ‘Nightcall’. The song gained further attention when London Grammar released their own version in 2013.

The Weeknd also sampled the track before collaborating with Kavinsky on ‘Odd Luck’, while Avenged Sevenfold used the song to open their concerts in 2024.

Belorgey issued his debut Kavinsky album, ‘OutRun’, in 2013 before stepping away from releasing new material for several years. He eventually returned with ‘Reborn’ in 2022.
