Kenneth Petty, Nicki Minaj’s Husband, Approved To Travel To The Tropics For Her Birthday

November 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj‘s husband, Kenneth Petty, will celebrate her birthday in paradise after hitting the road with her on her record-breaking Pink Friday 2 tour. On probation, Petty has received rare court approval to travel internationally, allowing him to celebrate the icon’s upcoming birthday. Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald granted the request, permitting Petty to join Minaj for a luxurious getaway despite restrictions on his travel. Minaj, who just announced the next leg of her world tour, will celebrate her 42nd birthday in a couple of weeks.

The couple plans to spend December 3 to December 13 in the Turks and Caicos Islands, marking Minaj’s 42nd birthday with a family vacation. Petty’s legal history includes a 1995 conviction for attempted rape and a 2006 first-degree manslaughter charge, for which he served seven years in prison. In 2022, he faced sentencing for failing to register as a sex offender, receiving home confinement, probation, and financial penalties. These legal obligations require him to secure court approval for international travel.

Court records reveal that Petty’s legal team filed an ex parte motion for this trip, a move opposed by federal prosecutors but unchallenged by his probation officer. Ultimately, the court sided with Petty, allowing him to accompany Minaj on the vacation. The approval comes with strict conditions. Petty must submit a detailed itinerary to his probation officer, maintain communication, and report back promptly upon his return. Petty had to produce similar documents on Minaj’s world tour.

This latest ruling underscores the legal complexities surrounding Petty’s life, even as he participates in significant family milestones with Minaj. Despite public scrutiny and legal hurdles, the couple continues to make arrangements to navigate their personal and professional lives together. Nicki Minaj’s husband was present when Minaj was detained for her high-profile May possession charges in Amsterdam. Fans protested her release following arrest.

Nicki Minaj Deeply Misses What She Used To Look Like Before Kenneth Petty “Impregnated Her Womb”

November 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj is feeling nostalgic and a little insecure on this Tuesday afternoon thanks to some very personal text messages. According to The Neighborhood Talk, the Trinidadian rapper and singer shared some texts between her and her boo, Kenneth Petty. Nicki started the conversation by sending the father of her child of spicy picture of herself, basically topless. In fact, the only thing covering her chest area are some shiny nipple pasties. Following that image, she writes, “What my jugs USED to look like b4 YOU impregnated my womb with papa bear ” That kicked Kenneth into cheerleader mode, sending back some appropriately hilarious emojis and accompanying messages.

“I remember those… they still… PERFECT TOO MEEEEE.” While it might be a little strange to share such a private conversation, it’s sweet to see that these two are deeply in love with one another. Some social media users share that same feeling, with one adding, “She love that man & that baby.” “I don’t get it…what’s the issue with her posting this? Half of y’all WISH y’all man would admire you like that!” another proclaims.

However, there are quite a few who are not too big of fans of this back and forth between Nicki and Kenneth. “Just go back to the doctor. But take us out the chat first!! Mmkay, thanks.” “Mind you they both 81…” “Still no Nicki. Stop forcing. It.”

All of this negativity could stem from some Barbz’s opinions on their relationship. It’s not been the most shining example of celebrity pairings, thanks to Kenneth’s checkered past. Additionally, Nicki has had her lowlights as well, with her behavior online being a major point of contention. But regardless, it’s clear that this longtime couple is always ready to support each other when they need it. That is something no one can really knock, and we continue to wish them lots of love.

Nicki Minaj & Kenneth Petty’s Alleged Assault Settlement Reportedly Increases By $20K In Interest

October 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In March of this year, it was reported that Nicki Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty had a default judgment entered against them in LA County Superior Court. This stemmed from a lawsuit that former security guard Thomas Weidenmuller filed against them in 2022. Weidenmuller alleged that Petty punched him in the face backstage at a concert over a security breach, breaking his jaw. Allegedly, Weidenmuller has since had multiple surgeries to fix his jaw. He reportedly sued for his medical expenses.

Weidenmuller was awarded a default judgment because Nicki and Petty allegedly ignored the lawsuit. According to In Touch, however, they’ve still allegedly yet to pay up. The outlet exclusively reports that the couple has racked up over $20K in interest. This means they reportedly owe Weidenmuller a whopping $526K.

“I now have five plates in my jaw and my jaw has not yet been fully reconstructed. The doctors must still insert implants into my jaw as a part of the reconstruction process. In the interim, the doctors have inserted donor bones from a deceased person into my mouth in order to preserve space for future implants,” Weidenmuller explained in a declaration. This isn’t the only legal battle Nicki has been involved in lately, however.

Back in July, the “FTCU” rapper was also brought into her mother Carol Maraj’s lawsuit against Charles Polevich. Polevich is accused of fatally striking Minaj’s father in a 2021 hit-and-run. He was sentenced to a year in jail in 2022 for allegedly fleeing the scene of the fatal accident. What do you think of Nicki Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty reportedly owing an alleged assault victim a whopping $526K? What about them reportedly racking up interest?

Nicki Minaj seemingly responded to Safaree’s recent post about attending her Prink Friday 2 World Tour stop in Miami with a message on StationHead of her own. Her ex-boyfriend had posted about being proud of Minaj and holding “no malice” towards her.

However, it’s going to get even worse, so please leave us alone. When people aren’t happy, they go out of their way, you see. Literally and figuratively they go out of their way, where someone who’s minding their business being at peace…”

Nicki Minaj Absolutely Tears Into A Fan For Making Fun Of Her Marriage

October 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj dished out lots of kind words for her son’s fourth birthday. She posted numerous messages to her “Papa Bear” on Instagram and Twitter. One of them including her son and husband, Kenneth Petty, playing at a park. Minaj decided to throw her happy marriage in the face of those who criticize her and Petty in the media. One fan thought the timing was odd, given that the post was supposed to be about Minaj’s son’s birthday. “Only you could make your child birthday about a man,” the fan wrote. Well, let’s just say the rapper didn’t like that.

Nicki Minaj rolled up her sleeves and let said fan have it full blast. She literally provided a bullet point list of reasons as to why she was right, and the fan questioning her was wrong. The opening section of the tweet is absolutely vicious, and would have gotten the point across by itself. “Dear weak loser,” it stated. “Tweeting about someone else’s bday b/c you have nothing to rejoice about in your own sad existence. & clearly don’t feel loved & definitely not paid attention to due to your ugliness…” That was how the tweet started!

Nicki Minaj Dropped Her Most Scathing Insults Yet

Dear weak loser tweeting about someone else’s bday b/c you have nothing to rejoice about in your own sad existence & clearly don’t feel loved & definitely not paid attention to due to your ugliness…
#GagCityStLouis tonight!!!!!

1. There are 24 hours in one’s bday. So you have… https://t.co/WnVFXpSNIv

— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) October 2, 2024

From there, Nicki Minaj justifies her reasoning for posting about Kenneth Petty. She points out that a pic takes one second out of the day, so the focus was still very much on “Papa Bear.” She noted that people who have too much time on their hands are obsessed her. Most importantly, she noted that Petty was the father of her son, and not just a random man. “His father, my husband,” she wrote. “Not a man, you funky piece of filth.” If you are a fan of Nicki Minaj meltdowns, then you are in for a treat. It gets more intense as it goes on.

The bulleted tweet just becomes an excuse for Minaj to call the fan every horrible name she can think of. Seriously. “GO TEACH THAT DINGY P**SY OR B**SY SOME NEW TRICKS,” she wrote in all caps. “You’re gonna need it when those Twitter checks clear up. GAGGGGGGGG.” Nicki Minaj proceeds to make yet another list in the same post. This time, of her many (and admittedly impressive) accomplishments over the years. There’s dunking on a rude fan, and then there’s whatever this is. The rapper also finds time to promote her St. Louis concert. Read the whole thing for yourself (above). It really needs to be read to be fully believed.

Nicki Minaj And Kenneth Petty Accused Of Dodging $500K Settlement Payment

September 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty never seem to make headlines for the right reasons. Minaj continues to be one of the most successful rappers in the world. Whenever Minaj’s husband gets involved, though, the results are complicated at best. The trend continued on September 17. Minaj and Petty were put on blast by a security guard who claimed they assaulted him. The guard won a settlement against the couple, but is now claiming that Nicki Minaj and Petty have yet to pay up.

The incident dates back to 2022. Thomas Weidenmuller, the security guard in question, filed a complaint against Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty in January. He claimed that he got into an argument with Minaj due to the way she was treating a female staff member. Weidenmuller then alleges that the rapper threw one of her shoes at him. The security guard says things only got worse from there. Kenneth Petty allegedly attacked Weidenmuller at the urging of his wife. The security guard initially sought $700K in damages. He agreed, however, to $500K as a default judgement when the celebrity couple failed to respond to the suit.

Weidenmuller may have gotten a court ruling in his favor, but Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty have not cooperated. The Jasmine Brand reports that the couple are allegedly dodging the $500K settlement they have been ordered to pay. Weidenmuller has waited for Minaj and Petty to make good, but he has decided to file a memo highlighting their alleged dodging. The security guard filed both a memo of costs and a writ of execution against the couple in September. These filings have increased the amount that Minaj and Petty will ultimately have to pay. Prior to the filings, they owed $503,318. After, they owe an increased total of $526,110.74.

Ironically, Nicki Minaj recently made headlines for allegedly being owed money. The rapper took to the comment section of a DJ Akademiks TikTok to put JAY-Z on blast for his Tidal dealings. Minaj was one of the superstars who signed on to be a partial owner of Tidal in 2015. She claimed that she was never paid a cent, though. “I didn’t even get one red penny,” Nicki Minaj announced. “No one promoted it more than me outside of Beyonce. Lol chi.”

Nicki Minaj Almost Named Her Son After Ninja Man Until Her Husband Kenneth Petty Refused

September 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj’s recent Instagram Live session with her husband Kenneth Petty came under heavy fire for its flippant use of a homophobic slur. However, that wasn’t everything that they discussed and engaged in during the event, as they also spoke on their family dynamic with their son. For those unaware, the couple welcomed him in September of 2020 and have kept his name and most of his personal life a secret from fans, only referring to him as “Papa Bear.” During this recent IG Live, the Trinidadian MC revealed that she wanted to name him after incarcerated Jamaican dancehall icon Ninja Man.

“When I was pregnant, all I did was watch Ninja Man all day,” Nicki Minaj explained as Kenneth Petty shook his head at the idea that the name would be a “match.” “I think I told you guys I was going to call the baby Ninja. My husband didn’t really want me to call the baby Ninja, but I thought it was dope, you know. I had asked people around me and they said yes. I don’t see anything wrong with it. You know, Ninja.”

Nicki Minaj Explains Why She Almost Named Papa Bear “Ninja”

Previously, Nicki Minaj had revealed to Vogue last November that she’s a big nickname person, and after shooting down rumors that Papa Bear is named Jacob, she’s hinted at the context behind this moniker and what his actual name could be without outright confirming it. “I’ve always been a nickname person,” she expressed. “I give everyone I love these nicknames, normally. He actually had a couple nicknames. His first nickname while he was in my stomach was ‘Bubba.’ When he came out, it just transformed into ‘Papa Bear.’ I can’t explain it, but when I looked at him, that’s what I thought.”

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is as dominant of a force in the music industry as ever, using her power to speak on the biggest happenings in the record realm. For example, she recently threw her hat into a big sales ring recently by promoting Sabrina Carpenter’s new album over Travis Scott’s DAYS BEFORE RODEO re-release, both of which competed for a Billboard 200 No. 1 chart debut. You probably recall that ASTROWORLD beat out Queen for that top-charting spot in 2018. Some grudges last more than we think…

Nicki Minaj’s Husband Kenneth Petty Gets Dragged For Using Slur During Livestream

August 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj’s marriage to Kenneth Petty continues to be controversial for various reasons. Regardless, the “FTCU” rapper never hesitates to include him in her chats with the Barbz on TikTok live. Yesterday, for example, the pair appeared on the platform to give viewers some tips on dealing with critics.

“Don’t you let anybody or anything steal your motherf*ckin’ joy,” Nicki declared. While that’s solid advice, it’s Petty’s follow-up that has social media users upset. “That’s right, especially little f****** or f*** boys,” he said. Most viewers didn’t appreciate his use of the derogatory term and are slamming him for it. Many are also calling Nicki out for failing to correct him, particularly since she has a large LGBTQ+ fanbase.

Nicki Minaj & Kenneth Petty Receive Backlash For Offensive Livestream Remark

As a result, some are saying that Nicki doesn’t really care about her Barbz at all, though this is unconfirmed. It’s possible that she didn’t hear what he said, or simply didn’t want to draw more attention to the offensive comment. Either way, this isn’t the first time one of her interactions with fans has gone wrong. Earlier this month, a former Barb filed a lawsuit against Nicki, accusing her of slander. He alleges that she embarrassed him on Instagram Live, accused him of being a paid saboteur, called him a stalker, and more. Reportedly, he’s seeking a whopping $5 million in damages for reputational harm, emotional distress, and financial loss.

Her attorney Judd Burstein issued a statement about the lawsuit on Monday, accusing the former fan of “harassing Nicki on social media for years on end to no avail.” Burstein also alleged that he’s trying to “shake her down financially with manifestly false allegations and legally frivolous claims.” What do you think of Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty using a gay slur on TikTok live? What about him getting dragged for it online? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
