She may be one of the best selling female rap artists of this generation and living
her best married life, but it appears as though Nicki Minaj has much bigger problems ahead
of her!
Hey what’s up you guys it’s Emile Ennis Jr. with Clevver News here to fill you in
on the rocky relationship between Nicki Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty.
After finding himself in a mountain of legal trouble, Kenneth was officially ordered to
register as a sex offender in the state of California.
You heard that right, Nicki’s husband was indicted last week after failing to register
as a sex offender and now has made things legally official.
If this comes as a shock to you, let’s be sure to catch you up to speed.
Back in 1995, Kenneth was convicted of attempted rape in the first degree in New York.
And according to his court documents, he went by an alias known as the name Avery Johnson.
But, just a few days ago the U.S. Marshals confirmed that Kenneth had finally surrendered
and registered as a sex offender.
According to his booking sheet obtained by Entertainment Tonight, Kenneth was forced
to register as a sex offender in the state of California following his move from New
York after being pulled over during a traffic stop back in November.
He was then arrested and later released on a $20,000 bond.
In New York, he is registered as a level two sex offender for his 1994 crime of attempt
first degree rape of a 16-year-old girl and was later convicted in 1995.
But, Mrs. Petty is proving she is in this relationship for better or for worse after
sticking by her husband’s side and even standing up for him against the online trolls.
Fans were shocked after the news broke back in October that the two had married.
"We got the marriage license, now I just have to wait until my pastor that I love comes
and does it for us," she shared during an interview with ET.
She continued, "The big wedding and all that stuff, that will happen, but just not at this
moment."
One thing is for sure, Kenneth made sure to go all out for his leading lady thanks to
the 17-carat rock that he proposed to Nicki with.
Her new bling is estimated to be worth $1.1 million and came complete with a lavish diamond
band to match her stunning new accessory.
But Nicki has been on board this Kenneth love-train for awhile now.
Back in December of 2018, she took her stance against haters online after they shared their
disapproval for their new relationship.
One user had commented that it wasn’t rape because at the time Kenneth was only 15 years
old and the victim was 16.
Nicki backed up that argument writing “He was 15, she was 16… in a relationship.
But go [off] internet.
Ya'll can’t run my life.
Ya’ll can’t even run ya’ll own life.”
That reply was a bit mild compared to her recent exchange with Meek Mill after a heated
debate.
While calling out the rapper for his abusive tendencies she also added that he "kicked
me in front of your mother and sent her to the hospital."
She even went on to add that Meek Mill brought up her brother’s own legal issues and allegations
to quote, "hurt someone who wasn’t involved just so people can dislike me.
You can never stand on your own....
U know.
See u soon."
Nicki’s brother Jelani Maraj was sentenced 25 years to life in prison for predatory sexual
assault.
He was later found guilty in November of 2017 for raping an 11-year-old girl at his home
in New York.
Meek Mill added more fuel to the fire by saying that he and Nicki broke up after he found
out about her brother’s actions and didn’t want to be associated with it.
But while things in their personal lives may be a bit messy, Nicki revealed that she is
in no rush to walk down the aisle.
She revealed "When I was little, I always imagined princess and marriage and the wedding
and now it's more to me about the life, the future, the love, the partnership, than the
wedding"
She continued “[It's] so strange cause I didn't expect myself to be one of those people
who didn't care about the hoopla, but I really don't."
But before this big announcement, things got REAL when she revealed that she was taking
a step back from Hollywood to retire.
She tweeted out, “I've decided to retire & have my family.
I know you guys are happy now.
To my fans, keep reppin me, do it til da death of me, X in the box- cuz ain't nobody checkin
me.
Love you for LIFE.”
But after fans went into more than a frenzy, Nicki cleared the air during an interview
with The Shade room to clarify that she isn’t quite done yet.
"When I posted that retirement tweet, I knew that I still had music that I already had
recorded that was still going to come out," she said during her interview.
“So the retirement was kind of talking about my album, meaning like, 'Do I want to go back
and record my fifth album?'"
She went on to explain that she has a lot of exciting things in the works and may have
misled her fans a bit explaining that it was quote “ really about the fifth album."
Nicki added "Where do I stand with it now?
I didn't know my fans would act like that with the tweet.
It hurt my feelings because I feel like the way I did it was maybe insensitive to my fans.
But I didn't think people were going to take it -- I didn't know it was going to be that
big of a deal, so that's why I deleted it."
