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:

Nicki Minaj Delivers Cryptic Tweet Following Kenneth Petty House Arrest Ruling

by

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.”

Nicki Minaj Takes To Twitter

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

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.

Nicki Minaj’s Husband Kenneth Petty Subjected To House Arrest After Offset Threats

by

Nicki Minaj has made quite a few headlines over the years due to her husband Kenneth Petty. For those who may not know, Petty is a convicted sex offender stemming from an alleged attempted rape in 1995. Overall, this case has led to all sorts of issues Petty. Moreover, it has led to quite a few jokes on social media. However, what is important, is that Petty was supposed to register as a sex offender upon moving to California. In the end, he opted not to do that and was given three years probation and one year under house arrest.

This ruling took place over a year ago, so if your math is correct, you would understand that Petty would have been off house arrest. However, he completely ruined his freedom for himself after he made some threats against Offset. As we reported, he was outside with some friends, claiming to be looking for the rapper. According to court reporter Meghann Cuniff, a judge has subsequently given Petty 120 days under house arrest for his actions.

As far as Offset is concerned, this is probably the peak of getting the last laugh on somebody. Additionally, this is a case of shooting oneself in the foot, in the most public way possible. Nicki Minaj herself has yet to comment on the situation and it remains to be seen if she will. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments section below.

Nicki Minaj’s Husband Violated His Parole When He Threatened Offset On Video, So A Judge Placed Him On House Arrest

Now that Tory Lanez has been transferred to state prison — with a fresh mugshot and all — to serve his 10-year sentence after being found guilty on three felony counts related to shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet three years ago, Los Angeles-based legal affairs journalist Meghann Cuniff can turn her attention toward other matters.

On Wednesday night, September 20, Cuniff posted court documents to X (formerly known as Twitter) showing that United States District Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald “has ordered Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, to serve ‘up to 120 days on home detention’ for ‘making threatening remarks toward a specific individual while in the company of someone with a criminal record.’”

“For background, US Dictrict Judge Michael Fitzgerald in July 2022 sentenced Petty to three years probation for failing to register as a sex offender,” Cuniff added.

This is related to videos that circulated last weekend of Petty and his crew spitting vitriol toward Offset and Cardi B, his wife, including a threat to “knock the veneers” out of Cardi B’s mouth.

In response, Offset posted video to his since-expired Instagram story, giggling and mocking Petty.

Two years ago, Nicki Minaj, along with Petty, were named in a lawsuit for allegedly harassing Jennifer Hough, whom Petty was convicted of raping back in 1995. Earlier this year, Minaj’s motion to sanction Tyrone Blackburn, Hough’s lawyer, was denied by an East New York judge.

Nicki Minaj has been pretty busy recently. She served double during last week’s MTV Video Music Awards serving as both the host of the event and a performer. She joined Lil Wayne, LL COOL J, and more in a tribute to the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. Minaj also made the live debut of her new single “Last Time I Saw You.” The song already has over 18 million streams on Spotify and debuted at number 23 on the Hot 100 last week. But while all of that was going on, her husband Kenneth Petty has been beefing with Offset.

It’s a complicated beef because Nicki and Offset’s wife Cardi B have a history. The two are often compared to each other by fans and they had pretty tangible beef of their own spawning from the 2018 Migos song “MotorSport.” That’s why many online have been weighing in on the back and forth between Offset and Petty as a sort of proxy beef between the two artists. Now in the heat of the rivalry, Nicki is pouring some gasoline on the fire by sharing pictures of her family. The pictures themselves are quite wholesome with Nicki and Kenneth hanging out and spending some time with their son Papa Bear while posing for pictures. Unsurprisingly though, most of the fans in the comments are talking about beef.

Elsewhere in Nicki Minaj’s world, she’s gearing up to release her first new album since 2018’s Queen. The album is called Pink Friday 2 making it an official sequel to her beloved 2010 album Pink Friday. Fans won’t have to wait much longer to hear the project either as it’s slated to release on November 17.

Earlier this month, Nicki once again proved that she’s the queen of streaming. “Seeing Green” officially became her 75th song to hit 100 million streams, the most of any female rapper by far. What do you think of Nicki Minaj sharing some family pics amid Kenneth Petty’s beef with Offset? Let us know in the comment section below.

Kenneth Petty’s Friend Blames Offset For Current Beef, Nicki Minaj Breaks Her Silence

by

A friend of Kenneth Petty has taken to social media to try and explain the rapidly expanding beef with Offset. “I don’t even know how all this happened,” the man begins. “I guess they misinterpreted the video that me and Zoo [Petty] made. And we were just talking shit, regular shit. And then I guess Zoo made the comment, ‘waiting for one of you n-ggas to act stupid’. That was it, that was all that was said.” Furthermore, the man shared another video showing his heated DM exchange with Offset, parts of which had been previously leaked by Petty. However, it appears that Petty and his crew are taking the stance that Offset is the aggressor in this beef.

All this comes after days of mounting tensions between the husbands of Nicki and Cardi. In the most recent development, Petty and his crew dropped a video of them engaged on a “stakeout” for Offset. Meanwhile, Offset was first in Atlanta for his stream with Kai Cenat and then in Boulder for the Colorado-Colorado State game. However, Offset has responded to some of the shots taken by Petty and his friends. Namely, the former Migos rapper appears to find the whole situation pretty funny and appears to have no interest in actually starting anything with Minaj’s sex-offender husband. So much for him being the one to instigate the beef.

Fans Question Meaning Of Nicki Minaj Tweet

Elsewhere, fans are questioning a cryptic tweet dropped by Minaj herself on September 16. Aside from a clip of Minaj laughing at a fan asking where the “opps at” during the VMAs, the rapper has mostly stayed out of her husband’s escapades. However, people are now wondering if that is about to change after she tweeted “I wanna play a game.” However, Minaj offered no follow-up, with her subsequent tweets not matching the energy of her Jigsaw impression. Minaj has been promoting her new track “Big Difference” pretty heavily in the last few days. One of the tweets she posted after the aforementioned one highlighted how “Big Difference” was at one point #3 on X’s trending page.

However, is there a deeper meaning to this tweet? It’s hard to say as in the past, Nicki has rarely been one to mince words. Perhaps something bigger is coming in the next few days. Even then, the beef already appears to have died off. With Offset seemingly unwilling to engage with Petty, most of this beef has been Petty trying to goad the rapper into giving him attention. Despite this, the situation remains a developing story. We’ll have any updates as and when they emerge.

Offset Laughed Off Alleged Threats From Nicki Minaj’s Husband, Kenneth Petty: ‘F*ck They Talkin’ About’

It appears there may be beef between former Migo Offset and Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth “Zoo” Petty.

Over the course of the weekend, some video footage surfaced of Petty with a group of friends calling out for Offset on an empty street in New York City’s Theater District.

“Offset, where you at?” said an affiliate of Petty. “We outside.”

According to HipHopDX, Offset and his wife, rapper Cardi B, were allegedly staying at a hotel in the neighborhood where this took place. But neither Offset nor Cardi reportedly stepped out to confront Petty and crew directly.

In another clip, Petty is heard threatening to “knock the veneers” out of Cardi’s mouth.

Shortly after the footage — the date of which it was shot unclear — surfaced, Offset took to his own social media platforms, where he seemingly addressed these alleged threats.

“I’m getting off a jet, and he’s funny,” Offset said. “F*ck they talkin’ about? We hoppin’ off jets. Talkin’ bout ‘outside.’ Extremely broke!”

Later, a screenshot of an Instagram DM from Offset was shared by an affiliate of Petty. In the screenshot, Offset appears to asking for the affiliate’s location, seemingly wanting to confront him in person.

At the time of writing, it’s unclear when or where this alleged beef began.

You can see clips above.

This might be the most heavy rap beef of all time in which the opposing parties have rarely, if ever, actually dissed each other outright. Moreover, the cold war between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B continued in a pretty intense way this week. At the VMAs, the Trinidadian MC’s husband Kenneth Petty and his friends posted up at the ceremony and boasted on social media that they were looking for Cardi B and Offset. The former Migo even responded on social media some time after these clips went viral, calling his opps broke from a jet plane after his alleged message to one of Petty’s associates surfaced.

It’s a bit convoluted at the moment, but the point is that Nicki Minaj’s camp was looking for Cardi B and her company during and after the awards show. Now, new videos are adding further context to the whole ordeal, such as the 40-year-old’s response to a fan’s question at the VMAs. Furthermore, they asked “Where the opps at?” and she seemed to have an excited response to that. However, her words aren’t heard in the clip, so people are truly making a mountain out of this very small molehill.

Nicki Minaj Wonders Where The Opps Are, Might’ve Referred To Offset & Cardi B

Tensions between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj come up from their fanbases for the most part, at least right now. As two of the biggest female rappers in the game with past history, few MCs are compared and contrasted with as much scrutiny as those two. It’s unfortunate because, within the world of femcees, this is a far-too-common practice that divides and disincentivizes cooperation and support rather than empower women in a male-dominant and male-privileged industry. The girls run the show now, in many’s eyes, but strange occurrences like these turn them against each other.

If anything, their only competitive and contentious battle should be a sales and impact one. After all, they both have highly anticipated albums on the way. First there’s Barb’s Pink Friday 2 and then we’ll get Bardi’s sophomore studio release. Maybe one day, the two of them can put everything aside, despite how much the world around them wants to clash. On that note, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Nicki Minaj, Offset, Kenneth Petty, and Cardi B.

Offset & Kenneth Petty Beef: Rapper’s Alleged DM To Nicki Minaj’s Man’s Friend Surfaces Online

Most weekends this summer have seen well-known reality stars making headlines with their inappropriate antics but this time around it’s some of the biggest names in hip-hop who are causing a stir. Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, began trending on Twitter on Friday (September 15) evening, after a video of him and some affiliates staking out Cardi B’s man, Offset, went viral. In the time since the father of five has comedically reacted to the situation with a video of him hopping off of a private jet and calling his ops broke while laughing.

The internet also seems to be taking Set’s side, notably trolling Petty for his troubling allegations of sexual abuse. Social media sleuths have been working tirelessly to get to the bottom of the situation, and it seems things stem from the MTV VMAs earlier this week, which Minaj was responsible for hosting. Cardi and her husband were also in attendance, with the former performing her “Bongos” collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion. In a clip posted from the star-studded evening, Kenneth tells social media that he’s “ready for y’all ni**as to act stupid,” though thankfully nothing transpired.

“Ask @iamcardib why she mad Big Queens in da building,” Petty’s friend wrote on his Story at the time. “We just different on this side, real sturdy diehard s**t.” After more trash was talked from Minaj’s camp, Offset allegedly DM’d one of her other half’s friends. “Where you located?” he asked on a recent afternoon. “[You] ni**as pu**y, speaking on female business,” the former Migo added. “And talking cr*zy broke a**, don’t got money for war.”

What’s currently transpiring around Offset and Kenneth Petty isn’t the only drama we’ve seen play out surrounding the 2023 VMAs. Earlier this week, TDE executive Punch confirmed that he cancelled SZA’s performance at the award show when MTV failed to nominate her for Artist of the Year.
