Kenneth Petty, who is married to Nicki Minaj, is officially registered as a sex offender in the state of California. According to the California Megan’s Law database, he registered sometime after his arrest last Wednesday (March 4).
Petty’s offense is listed in all caps as “ATTEMPTED RAPE BY FORCE OR FEAR.”
Petty was in court on Friday (March 7) where his charges were dropped in L.A. County, but he still faces federal charges for the same offense. He’s expected in court next month and must wear an ankle monitor in the interim. He also must avoid all substances as part of his bond.

Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty was in court on Friday (March 7) after he was arrested for failing to register as a sex offender in the state of California earlier this week.
According to Pitchfork, the charges were dropped in L.A. County, however he still faces federal charges for the same offense.
“The Kenneth Petty case was dismissed today because he faces similar charges in federal court,” the LA County District Attorney’s Office said.
Petty relocated to California in July 2019 but failed to register as a sex offender within five working days of moving. Petty was convicted of first-degree attempted rape in 1995 at the age of 16. He ultimately served time in prison for the offense.
In November 2019, Petty was pulled over in Beverly Hills where officers realized he wasn’t registered. Petty was arrested and released on $20,000 bond. He pleaded not guilty.

Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty was reportedly arrested by U.S. Marshals on an indictment for failing to register as a sex offender.
According to TMZ, Petty turned himself in on Wednesday (March 4) and was quickly taken into federal custody. Court docs reportedly state he’ll face a judge on Wednesday afternoon.
Petty relocated from New York to California last July, but law enforcement says he was pulled over in Beverly Hills four months later. During the stop, the Beverly Hills Police Department determined Petty was a registered sex offender in New York state but had failed to register in California as required by law.
Petty was arrested and released after putting up a $20,000 bond. The L.A. County D.A. later charged him for failing to register as a sex offender.
In 1995, Petty was convicted for first-degree attempted rape. He then served almost four years in New York state prison and was required to register as a sex offender. If convicted on the federal charge for failure to register, he faces up to 10 years in prison.
Nicki Minaj's Alleged Boyfriend ID'ed As A Convicted Sex Offender
Nicki and Petty were officially married last October.
Yikes!
Shout out to my boss bitches wifin rapists!
Hahahaha!!! Nigga, you wild!
This pos Nicki Minaj protects sex offenders and child molesters
I couldn’t agree more
Thought Megan and Nicki were Boss Bitches
Not at all. Nicki still young money and Meg is the jump off of 1501
Still wanna bury my nose in Nicki’s butthole. Yes I know her booty is fake, but that butthole ain’t. Holla!
You do realize that you’d be a child molester too by default… technically… since I’m pretty sure that her Pedo Husband’s dick has been in there… just say lol
No shes said in interviews she doesnt do anal.
What did he do that offended people sexually so much? Like, did he pee on his wife or spit on her or somthing? Even then, I feel like people are just being too soft. I don’t think that’s offensive myself. And why would he have to sign in a list for being offensive in bed? That makes zero sense.
Nigga, STFU!!!!
I’m not a “nigga”. The over use of that word has just become sooo cheesy and lame. NWA was 25+ years ago bro. Have some class. Learn to write and speak like a MAN.
SHUT UP,BITCH
I’m not a bitch. Based on the way you type, you never met your daddady and live on government scraps.
Close your face?

Nicki Minaj ft. Snitch9ine and R Kelly- Chomo Love
You wrong for that that one…R Kelly would definitely be the headliner on that one with Nicki and the other guy as the featured artists.
Looks like the people behind every anti-white organisation on this planet wanted revenge for the Rosa Parks thing. Hint: the people behind all those anti-white orgs are not white or black. They are joos. They use blacks as a weapon against white people.
Man…Shut the flying fuck up
Go watch “Secret Relationship Between Black Leaders & Smallhats” video on JooTube.
Gee I thought I was the only one whom knew
JOOOOS!
I’m surprised she hasn’t had a relationship yet with R. Kelly
Somohc yb nar si etis siht

Maybe Nikki and her rapist husband can
have a baby together then let her brother babysit……Sick MOFO’s
Successful black women, or maybe all successful women love low lifes. I would know cause I’m one of them ?
#Deep_ I like that ??
these two are a walkin L.
Nicki sure knows how to pick losers
I knew a guy once he was very cool. But then we started playing basketball at the pro nearby where I lived. I was so hungry so I had to make me a sour cream biscuit with jelly. It was amazing to say the least because I love to drive into the sunset by the beach with my windows down and my A/C blasting on 70 Fahrenheit so my car can be room temperature. I had to run up the hill once but then I rolled down, too much hiking I can’t even do it. Sometimes I wish I was younger so I don’t have to pay bills.
Yours truly,
Malone
What a goof
Well, she defended her pedophile POS brother… Not a surprise she married a sex offender too.
A madonna status chic dating a fuckin loser. Wtf am I missing here
Bro really? She is never Madonna Status, in 2 more years niggas gon be like Nicki who?
Both Madonna and Nicki are human scum.
Losers, just go do porn already
Dude is rapist and a murderer. Any reasonable woman wouldn’t even consider dating this scumbag. But I guess marryin a rapist is not anomalous when you have a pedophile brother.
Let’s go nicki!! Never mind these comments here posted by the same virgin over n over. We support you baby!
FOH
Don’t come knocking on my door please….
