Nicki Minaj's New Boyfriend Is Problematic To Say The Least
E! Online- It’s only been a short period of time since Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty made their relationship Instagram official, but new details have already emerged about the Queen superstar’s new beau.
According to court records, Petty was convicted of attempted rape in the first degree in April 1995. The reported incident happened when he was in his teens and the female was 16. He was sentenced to 18 months to 54 months in state prison. TMZ reports that he served four years in New York state prison.
“Wait y’all calling this man a rapist but it happened in 1994, meaning he was 16 or 17 & the girl was a 16 year old…must’ve been a white girl,” one Instagram user commented on a photo of Minaj and Petty.
After seeing the comment, Minaj replied, “He was 15, she was 16… in a relationship. But go awf Internet. y’all can’t run my life. Y’all can’t even run y’all own life. Thank you boo.”
