Update: Nicki Minaj’s Brother Refutes Rape Allegations | See His Reason

Rapper Nicki Minaj’s brother Jelani Maraj, was arrested in 2015 for allegedly raping a 12-year-old girl. (read here) Maraj  is now insisting that the victim was having sex with other people, but not him.

In a series of motions filed by his legal team last month, they have insisted that the court reveal details about the alleged victim’s sexual history adding that the judge dismiss the top charge which could put Maraj, in prison for life if convicted.

His Lawyer, David Schwartz, speaking with Bossip, stated that:

“We believe the truth will come out, the complaining witness in the case and others have a real motive in this case to lie, this never occurred and Jelani, is completely innocent.

So far, the public has only heard the allegations against him. In this case, Jelani is innocent. The trial is going to be a real search for the truth. We are going to show why the complaining witness is lying”

His sister Nicki Minaj, is believed to have hired a private investigator to look into her brother’s legal team. The case is headed to trial later this month.
