Nicki Minaj married former flame Kenneth Petty in October 2019 fully aware of his controversial criminal past. Now, it’s coming back to haunt them. In August, Petty’s sexual assault victim, Jennifer Hough, and her attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, filed a lawsuit against Petty and his famous wife for harassment and an alleged bribery attempt.
The couple apparently didn’t respond to the court papers in a timely fashion, so Hough’s attorney asked the court for a $15 million default judgment earlier this month. But according to Nicki Minaj, it was an “innocent mistake.” In documents observed by Complex, Nicki claims their failure to respond was “not willful.”
The papers reportedly state attorney Judd Burstein was recommended to Nicki Minaj on September 22, and the two had a conversation via Zoom the following day that ended with Nicki believing she’d hired Burstein. But her manager “had not understood” Nicki had approved Burstein to be her lawyer. Therefore, he was never formally retained.
As Nicki explained in the documents, “My failure to respond to the complaint was the product of an innocent mistake, and I ask the court to excuse the delay so that I can defend what I believe to be an entirely frivolous case which plaintiff’s counsel has brought against me in an effort to use my name to generate publicity for himself.”
Nicki also claims Pettty was never served with a copy of the summons and complaint. She says the process server in question is reported as having served such documents to a “Black male, 40 years old, 200 lbs.” with black hair and brown eyes.
But Nicki contests, “My husband is approximately 5’9’’ tall and weighs no more than 175 pounds. Further, there is no person who resides in our house or who was present there on September 15, 2021, who fits the description contained in the affidavit of service.” Burstein is hoping to secure a a motion that will dismiss the amended complaint.
Hough claimed Petty sexually assaulted her in 1994 when they were both 16. A year later, he was convicted and served roughly four years in a New York state prison. After Petty was released, he was convicted of first-degree manslaughter and served another seven years behind bars.
During an interview with The Real, Hough alleged Nicki’s associates attempted to pay her a large sum of cash in exchange for her cooperation and continually harassed her.
“[They were] sending people to negotiate numbers as far as money is concerned with family members, and Nicki is the one who personally reached out to me in regard to helping her, helping them in this situation,” she explained. “And then the threats that I received because I kept saying no to every offer, to every suggestion.
“The last incident was when one of their associates put $20,000 on my lap, and I still kept saying no. The last message I received was that I should have taken the money ’cause they’re going to take that money to put on my head.”

I can understand Jennifer’s anger. At the same time, what I don’t respect is the fact that her pursuit of Nicki’s husband will be at the expense of innocent people like her son or Nicky herself and she ibwas
NICKI ALWAYS HAD BAD ENERGY ITS COMING BACK TO BITE HER.
Stop lying. She has dope energy. That’s why God blessed her with fame and fortune and a beautiful family/kid at the end of the day. Her status is solidified and what she done, can’t nobody take away from her. Remember that bro. U can’t undo what she’s already did. She’s a legendary icon. What have u done in ur life? Focus on that. Focus on leaving a legacy behind that will be remembered forever.
VERY SWEET MONOLOGUE MR PETTY. THANKS FOR SHARING.
You married a pedo. You married some bum that you could control, now you going to deal with everything that comes with it. Enjoy! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
20 million down, New York Times front page!!!! Lol Karma is a everything!!!
Damn u really praying on shortys downfall that bad? Wow. U must be miserable AF. Btw the judge denied the $20 million dollar default payment. Sad part is Nicki could lose $20 million and still be richer than all u bums talking shit about her. Now that is was u call “everything”.
Hey, her brother a rapist. And her husband and baby daddy. She called all the victims a clout chaser.
I hope dingy signed a pre nupt.
Tits or GTFO.
This Thot has alot of weird fans. We dont have to say exact names. But they know who they are. Her and her rapist husband was aware of a Attorney trying to serve them. They was ducking and dodging. Playing the system for what it was worth. The plaintiff cant keep talking about deranged fans threatening her. That won’t work. She has to stick to the facts. This freak of nature tried to pay her off and flipped the script on her. This the same person who former manager owned the trademark to her name cause she was broke and couldn’t file it herself. But when she slept her way to cash/yung money. She offered her ex manager $15,000 to the rights to her name. She not just a bird brain she crazy at! All you have to do is look at the goofy coo decisions she makes in her personal life.
