JENNIFER HOUGH TO REFILE LAWSUIT AGAINST NICKI MINAJ IN CALIFORNIA: A lawyer for Jennifer Hough has claimed that she dropped her harrassment lawsuit against Nicki Minaj in order to refile the case in California. According to Rolling Stone, Hough’s lawyer told a federal magistrate judge that the only reason they’d withdrawn their case against the rapper — which was filed in the Eastern District of New York — was to ensure that the case was tried in the correct jurisdiction. Hough filed the suit last August, saying that Nicki and husband Kenneth Petty had tried to intimidate her into recanting her claim that Petty had tried to rape her at knifepoint in 1994 in an effort to get Petty removed from the sex offenders registry.T.I. . . .
