Nicki Minaj & Son Papa Bear Cuddle Up In Adorable Video Amid Kenneth Petty Drama

September 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj loves her son Papa Bear, but it seems like he isn’t as willing to pose for cute pictures with his mom as she is. Moreover, the Queen recently shared a wholesome video of her carrying him on a swivel chair and lightly swaying him around. Amid laughs and Papa’s excited yells, you can tell that he just wants to get his feet on the ground as soon as possible. “Telling #PapaBear we on a magic roller coaster,” she captioned the video. “But he figured it out right away & got up out of there [crying-laughing emoji]. He said he got more important things to do than to take pics with some random lady.”

Furthermore, it seems like the Trinidadian rapper is feeling quite family-focused these days. Just about a week ago, Nicki Minaj shared a family picture with Papa Bear and father and husband Kenneth Petty. Of course, this family orientation might be because of a big scandal that Petty got into recently. He threatened Offset online, staking him out at the VMAs and getting a house arrest order because of it.

Since then, it’s been a whirlwind of shady statements, backlash, feuds with media figures, and more. Still, through it all, the 40-year-old remains set on promoting herself, particularly her Queen Radio program, and letting it all roll past her. Amid a supposed still-brewing cold war with Cardi B that the Offset and Kenneth Petty situation accentuated, all this creates is just more attention, clicks, and conversation. Nicki Minaj knows exactly how to capitalize on that, but she also knows how to take a break from it. After all, there’s nothing like some family time to clear your head of all the noise.

Meanwhile, we’re sure that there will be many more cute videos of the “Last Time I Saw You” hitmaker spending quality time with Papa Bear. Barb could coast off of her success if she wanted to and just live a happy, exciting life with her family. But that’s not how Roman operates, as we all know, and she’s balancing all these elements of competition, stardom, and family love with the same hunger for greatness she’s always had. With that in mind, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Nicki Minaj.

DJ Akademiks Calls Nicki Minaj A “Gangsta Bully” While Recalling Time She Threatened To Have Kenneth Petty “Break His Jaw”

September 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

DJ Akademiks has beefed with Nicki Minaj for many years now. However, that beef rarely reached more extreme heights than it did in 2019. VladTV recently reshared a clip from a 2022 interview with Akademiks in which the pair discussed threatening DMs Minaj had sent to Akademiks. Amid the myriad threats Minaj leveled at him, one message included the threat that Kenneth Petty would be coming to break Akademiks’ jaw. Minaj also appeared to threaten the DJ’s family. While Vlad called Minaj “cowardly”, Akademiks referred to Minaj as a “gangsta bully”.

However, these threats and the weaponization of Petty take on a whole new light four years after they were originally made. Petty is now a sex offender. Furthermore, he was recently sentenced to 120 days of house arrest after making threats against Offset. Furthermore, the recent behavior of Minaj and Petty appears to suggest that this is a core function of their marriage. They violently threaten people they don’t like, with Petty serving as their enforcer.

DJ Akademiks Shades The Barbz

In the same interview, Akademiks also spoke on the fanatical nature of Minaj’s fanbase, colloquially known as the Barbz or the Barbz Army. “You know why Nicki’s good? I wanna say great…her audience, and she has the best audience in Hip Hop. Them Barbz, they will never believe anything—and Nicki does a good job of not making it apparent. You ‘heard’ it, you didn’t ‘see’ it. So, like, when you say it, her audience is gonna take it as, ‘Oh, you’re just hating on Nicki’,” Akademiks noted.

He continued. “[Minaj’s] fanbase is so solid…if she’s not the victim, no one believes it.” Vlad attempted to draw a comparison to the diehard fans of Michael Jackson, who refuse to believe claims about Jackson’s children or alleged crimes against children. However, Akademiks rejected the comparison, arguing that a bigger proportion of MJ fans were more willing to acknowledge his faults.

Nick Cannon On Kenneth Petty: “He’s Tarnishing The Brand”

September 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Turns out that everyone’s chiming in on the Kenneth Petty and Offset situation, which escalated into a firestorm. For example, apparently Nicki Minaj and her husband targeted Jason Lee, according to new claims the Hollywood Unlocked founder made. While that doesn’t have much to do with Petty’s beef with the rapper, it’s hard to take either without the context of the other. Moreover, Nick Cannon became the most recent celebrity to speak on this incident, and it wasn’t very forgiving. Still, it’s just a lot of gossip and Internet drama at this point, since it didn’t go beyond just a few videos of him and his friends staking ‘Set out.

“He is tarnishing the brand,” Nick Cannon began his remarks. “You’re standing on the corner of the block outside of the VMAs. If you a street dude, be a street dude. Don’t be on the Internet! Street dudes didn’t even get on the phone. Real gangsters move in silence! He got a bunch of other cats around him. ‘Yeah, we outside.’ We know, n***a! I’m all for keeping it street, but keep it street smart. You on punishment, no TV for you for 120 days.“

Furthermore, Nick Cannon wasn’t the only celebrity to speak specifically on Kenneth Petty’s street persona. Charlamagne Tha God also offered a similar view on The Breakfast Club. “Number one, you should’ve been let go of all the childish ways of the street, first and foremost,” he started off. “That’s number one. But number two, I remember a time where folks wouldn’t talk about any dirt over the phone. Now y’all recording yourselves in 4K and posting it online? I know law enforcement be having a ball looking at these n***as.”

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj still stands by her husband through it all, and even insinuated that Cardi B had something to do with this. At least, that’s what fans think. In any case, it’s clear that many agree with the father of 12’s assessment of the situation. We’ll see if there’s anything more to this story in the near future. With that in mind, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Nick Cannon and Kenneth Petty.

Nicki Minaj Insinuates Cardi B Called The Cops On Kenneth Petty Because She Flopped

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj recently took to social media, sharing a lengthy post detailing her swatting experience. The rap diva also shared what appears to be a photo of the person allegedly behind the swatting, alongside a phone call made to police about Nicki and her husband, Kenneth Petty. In the call, the person is heard telling authorities that a man is firing off shots while holding a child, and a woman is trying to get the man to put the child down. This presumably refers to Nicki, Petty, and their 2-year-old son.

The swatter also suggests that the man could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and that he might be trying to leave with the child. Nicki went off in her post, detailing the terrifying experience of having her home swatted. “2 times my home was surrounded by large guns. This person wanted a family with a 2 year old to be shot at. Yet, nothing on any blog,” she wrote. “This same person made a false claim to CPS.”

Nicki Minaj Says She Has “Snitches In High Places”

Nicki continued, seemingly suggesting that someone in the industry could be behind the whole thing. She then pointed out that her haters haven’t managed to drag her down, noting the success of her new single. “When you have snitches in high places of the music industry who don’t want you to win but realize they can’t stop you because God’s anointing in my life is very real,” she explains. She went on to hype up her new album Pink Friday 2, which is slated for release in November.

Some are speculating that the “snitch” she’s referring to could be Cardi B, as they’ve clashed in the past. Their fanbases have been at war for years now, and lately, so have their husbands. Petty even landed himself on house arrest recently after making some threats against Offset. Cardi also just dropped off her new single “Bongos,” which Nicki might be equating to a “flop.” What do you think of Nicki’s latest Instagram post? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Nicki Minaj.

Kenneth Petty Net Worth 2023: What Is Nicki Minaj’s Husband Worth?

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Kenneth Petty navigated the complexities of urban life to become a rather enigmatic figure. He caught the public’s eye mostly due to his relationship with superstar Nicki Minaj, but his narrative has nuances deserving of attention. Petty’s early years remain shrouded in mystery, keeping the world simultaneously curious and cautious. Though his past is laced with legal tangles and controversy, these very elements arguably add layers to his persona. As of 2023, CAknowledge estimates Petty’s net worth to be $1 million.

Career Highlights

Petty is an elusive name in the entertainment industry. While not an artist or an entertainer in the conventional sense, his presence is undeniably felt through his significant other, Nicki Minaj. Petty’s claim to professional fame? More of an aura than a resume, which has, in turn, become its own form of social currency. Petty keeps his life under lock and key for good measure, as the world has focused on his marriage to Minaj and dissecting their pasts.

Personal Life

Kenneth Petty’s personal life is a complex tableau, worthy of a legal thriller. In 1995, he was convicted of first-degree attempted rape, earning him a spot on New York’s sex offender registry. The legal shadows continued to chase him into adulthood. In 2006, he served seven years for first-degree manslaughter. These legal challenges aren’t mere footnotes. They’ve been instrumental in shaping public perception of him, sometimes overshadowing his other life events.

His marriage to the international rap queen Nicki Minaj in 2019 brought him into the limelight for reasons other than his checkered legal history. While he relishes his role as a husband and father—the couple welcomed their first child in 2020—the ever-present legal quagmire haunts him. Even as he attempts to navigate domesticity and the intense scrutiny of public life, Petty continues to juggle court appearances and legal obligations.

An Intriguing Tale Of One Man’s Path

What’s clear about Kenneth Petty is that he isn’t easily defined. Whether scrutinized or celebrated, he elicits a response from the public. He’s found a way to thrive in the backdrop of fame, not as an accessory to Minaj, but as a figure compelling enough to warrant his own dialogue. And in this enigmatic journey, he has accrued a net worth that speaks to his multi-dimensional life.

Nicki Minaj Announces New Queen Radio In Video With Kenneth Petty

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj took to Instagram to announce a new edition of her Queen Radio series. She made the announcement with a video she recorded of herself and husband Kenneth Petty. She’s rocking a no-makeup look and lip-syncing to some music with the actual announcement coming in the caption. “#QueenRADIO in NEW YORK tmrw @ 4pm est WHO POPPIN OUT?!?!!!!! #HeavyOnIt” it reads.

Kenneth Petty appearing in the video is likely no coincidence. He’s had an ongoing beef with Offset that many fans have viewed as a proxy beef between Nicki and Cardi themselves. After Petty made public threats against Offset, he was re-sentenced to house arrest. Nicki Minaj reacted to the announcement with a cryptic tweet, while Cardi B took a much more direct approach in her response. “EXACTLY KEEP ME AND MY MANS OUT YALL F*CKING MOUTH!!!” the “I Like It” singer said in a new tweet. Check out Nicki’s Queen Radio announcement video and the fan reaction to it below.

Cardi B Breaks Silence On Kenneth Petty House Arrest Ruling

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Recently, Cardi B and Nicki Minaj have been involved in a sort of proxy beef. The pair did have their moment all the way back in 2018 when they beefed directly spawning from their collaboration on the Migos song “MotorSport.” Since then they haven’t engaged each other directly very much. That hasn’t stopped fans from continuing to compare the two artist’s success to each other. But earlier this month they got about as close as they ever have to re-starting the beef.

That came when their husbands, Offset and Kenneth Petty respectively, started off a beef of their own. Cardi and Nicki haven’t said much directly, merely standing behind their men. But the boys have taken much more direct shots at each other, with something Petty said even reaching the point of threatening Offset. As a result, a house arrest sentence he was recently released from was reinstated as the threat violated the terms of his release. That spawned new responses from just about everyone involved, including Cardi.

Like damn she popping that bad she have so many haters,” another agrees.

Elsewhere in the comments, fans discuss why the beef between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj even exists. “you would think after 5 years everybody would move on,” another one of the top comments reads. Cardi’s newest single “Bongos” with Megan Thee Stallion just debuted in the top 15 on the Hot 100. Nicki Minaj’s new album Pink Friday 2 is expected later this year.

What Did Nicki Minaj’s Husband Kenneth Petty Say To Offset?

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It looks like rap beef is a family affair. Today, legal affairs journalist Meghann Cuniff (aka “Meghann Thee Reporter” for her role in reporting Tory Lanez’s trial for shooting Megan Thee Stallion) reported that Kenneth Petty, Nicki Minaj’s husband, was ordered to serve 120 days on house arrest for making threats against Cardi B and Offset.

Technically, Petty was in violation of his probation agreement for failing to register as a sex offender when he and Nicki moved to Los Angeles in 2019. After he agreed to a plea deal in 2021, he was sentenced to three years of probation. His specific violation was recorded as “making threatening remarks toward a specific individual while in the company of someone with a criminal record.” So…

What Did Kenneth Petty Say To Offset?

Last weekend, Petty and some friends — at least one of whom apparently has a criminal record — recorded themselves walking around in New York City taunting Offset. Offset and Cardi were apparently staying at a hotel in the neighborhood, prompting Petty to post the tough-talking videos wondering, “Offset, where you at? We outside… Stay on that vacation before we planning ya’ funeral p*ssy. Always been a street n****.”

Although what exactly prompted all this remains unclear, the entire fiasco supposedly originated at the recent 2023 MTV VMAs, which both Cardi B and Nicki Minaj attended. The tension between the two women is well-documented, but it was their husbands who allegedly took up the feud. One of Petty’s allies claimed that it all started when Offset DMed him on Instagram asking, “Where you located?”

This was apparently in response to threats against Cardi from either Petty or his friends. Fans speculated online that this is what prompted Cardi to tweet, “I ain’t even flinch.” She’s since deleted the tweet but as usual, fans on Twitter have been stoking the beef ever since. Certainly the news that Petty has been punished by the court was well received by Cardi herself, though:

EXACTLY KEEP ME AND MY MANS OUT YALL FUCKIN MOUTH!!! https://t.co/rjQ5QQIyJt

Nicki Minaj Delivers Cryptic Tweet Following Kenneth Petty House Arrest Ruling

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj has always been the subject of some wild headlines over the years. However, that has been especially true over the last week due to the actions of her husband, Kenneth Petty. If you remember, Petty was outside with some friends, making threats towards Offset. Nicki and Cardi B have beef, so the Offset connection makes sense. However, the former Migos member was in Atlanta with Kai Cenat before hopping on a jet to go see the Colorado Buffaloes. Needless to say, he got the last laugh.

This is especially true now that Petty has been ordered to 120 days in house arrest. “Mr. Petty was recorded on video making threatening remarks towards a specific individual while in the company of someone with a criminal record,” a court order explains. “This recent violation conduct raises concerns over Mr. Petty’s willingness to comply with the Court’s orders. As such, the Probation Officer believes placement in the Location Monitoring Program will effectively allow for closer monitoring of Mr. Petty’s activities, limit his movements, provide a sanction for his non-compliance, and hopefully encourage him to reflect upon and reevaluate his current status in the community.”

Following the news, fans were curious if Nicki Minaj would have anything to say about it. Well, she did take to Twitter this morning, albeit in the most cryptic way possible. All she really posted was a gif, sipping on a drink. There isn’t really much to gleam from something like this. However, it is crystal clear that she has a lot of thoughts on the situation. Delivering those honest thoughts, however, could lead to a world of trouble.

In her replies, fans were very curious about what she meant by her tweet. Although, an answer still evades us. Instead, fans are left to guess what exactly is going on.

Charlamagne Tha God Blasts Kenneth Petty’s “Lame” Offset Feud

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Breakfast Club joined the online debate and addressed the Kenneth Petty and Offset situation, with Charlamagne Tha God in particular having some harsh words for the former. For those unaware, Nicki Minaj’s husband wanted to confront the rapper at this year’s VMAs last week and threatened him along with some of his friends. Eventually, he jabbed at the Georgia MC by telling him to plan his own funeral. While ‘Set seemed to laugh the whole thing off, that reaction didn’t stop people from criticizing this general approach and attitude. Moreover, Charlamagne spoke on how Petty is too old to be petty now, and recalled a time during which the Internet didn’t prompt people to boast about their street life.

“You lame, like, there’s nothing fly about that type of behavior,” Charlamagne Tha God remarked to the airwaves and his co-hosts. “The reality is that he earned that, ’cause you have the audacity to be acting like that on the FBI’s Internet. You 45 years old, you already on probation, you have a crazy criminal record already. You telling somebody to plan their funeral online?

Kenneth Petty Gets Harsh Words From Charlamagne Tha God

“Like, you begging to go to prison,” Charlamagne Tha God continued. “And it’s incredible to me that all these street dudes have let the Internet make them forget street rules. Number one, you should’ve been let go of all the childish ways of the street, first and foremost. That’s number one. But number two, I remember a time where folks wouldn’t talk about any dirt over the phone. Now y’all recording yourselves in 4K and posting it online? I know law enforcement be having a ball looking at these n***as.”

Meanwhile, turns out that Petty’s actions resulted in more harsh consequences than he probably expected. After these threats became big news, a Los Angeles federal judge ordered him to serve 120 days of home detention. Maybe this is where the buck stops, but what’s clear is that nobody’s really looking for this to go any further, other than perhaps the 45-year-old. Regardless, for more news on Kenneth Petty, Offset, and Charlamagne Tha God, come back to HNHH.
