Kenneth Petty Nicki Minaj’s Husband May Serve Time In Prison

Petty, Nicki Minaj’s husband, must register whenever he moves following his 1995 attempted rape conviction of then-16-year-old Jennifer Hough. Petty has denied the allegations, and Minaj has repeatedly defended her husband while slamming the victim’s claims.

According to court documents, Kenneth Petty, 44, has failed to register as a sex offender since moving to the Golden State with Minaj in 2019, Insider reported. 

Petty is due to appear at a sentencing hearing on July 6, where prosecutors also argued that he should pay a $55,000 fine. Minaj has repeatedly insisted that Petty had been wrongfully convicted and claimed that the victim, Jennifer Hough, now 43, had planned to write a letter to a judge recanting her statements.
