Man Arrested for Trespassing at Nicki Minaj’s Hidden Hills Home

A man was arrested Wednesday after allegedly trespassing at rapper Nicki Minaj’s home in Hidden Hills, according to law enforcement officials.

The suspect, identified as 36-year-old Leland Adams, was taken into custody on April 1 after he was found on the property and refused to leave. Authorities said security cameras captured Adams walking around the backyard of the residence before he was confronted by the home’s security team.

Security personnel reportedly ordered Adams to leave, but he did not comply. Deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded to the scene and detained him without further incident.

Officials described the suspect as a white male with long hair and a red beard. He was reportedly wearing a gray tracksuit at the time.

Law enforcement sources said Adams did not enter the house. Reports from outlets including TMZ and NBC Los Angeles indicated that Nicki Minaj was not at home during the incident.

Authorities also noted that Adams has had prior encounters with law enforcement in the Calabasas area, though details about those incidents were not immediately available.

The arrest took place at Minaj’s Hidden Hills mansion, a property that has recently been involved in legal issues. Earlier this year, the artist reportedly paid a $500,000 judgment to settle a lawsuit brought by a former security guard, resolving a dispute that had threatened a forced sale of the home.

Adams remains in custody as investigators continue to look into the circumstances and possible motive behind the trespassing incident.
