Minaj first performed the song in a medley consisting of "Chun-Li" and "Rich Sex" at the BET Awards 2018 held on June 23. [5]
In January 2021, rapper and co-writer of the song Jawara Headley sued Minaj for more than $200 million over the track. [6] Headley, professionally known as Brinx Billions, claimed he should be credited as the sole author, composer, writer and producer of "Rich Sex". In his legal filings, the writer alleged he first showed Minaj "Rich Sex" prior to 2016, when she said to him "it would be extremely marketable and become a global hit". [6]
