Despite being on probation, Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty was able to join his wife overseas for the international leg of the Pink Friday 2 Tour after receiving special permission.
Per legal documents viewed by HipHopDX, the 46-year-old applied last month “to travel out of the country with his family for his wife’s tour” for “various purposes, including childcare.”

According to Petty’s attorney, the feds took no position on the request, and Petty’s probation officer “does not oppose” it.
Court records reveal that Petty previously tried applying for the travel permission under seal, but the attempt to keep his request secret was rejected.

On April 16, Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald approved Petty’s request.
Petty’s criminal past has made headlines recently after his updated photograph on the sex-offender registry surfaced online.
The image, which has been widely shared in the cyberspace, was recently published on the official website of California’s Megan’s Law, which is a federal mandate that requires authorities to make information available to the public regarding registered sex offenders.
The website lists Petty’s sex offender status along with personal details such as his date of birth, profile description and the reason for his conviction: “Attempted rape by force or fear.”

Petty’s sex offender status stems from a 1995 conviction for the first-degree attempted rape of a 16-year-old girl, for which he spent four years in prison. He was later slapped with three years’ probation and one year house detention after failing to register as a sex offender in California, where he and Nicki moved in 2019 before getting married.
