Fans believed Nicki Minaj was hinting at a recent breakup with her husband Kenneth Petty, but the artist appears to have dispelled those speculations in a recent post.
On Wednesday, June 12, Minaj posted a sweet family photo to Instagram, including her son and hubby boarding a private jet as she begins the international leg of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour.
The Young Money rapper commented on X a few days prior, “Yes Single…,” which may have been a reference to her personal life or new songs. Now, the post was made.
Her most recent post seems to indicate that she is working on new music, which would be her first release since the December release of Pink Friday 2.
Since 2018, Nicki Minaj has been in a somewhat contentious relationship with Kenneth Petty. The two got married in 2019 and had a child together in 2020.
Petty is a offender with a criminal record. She was found guilty in 1995 of trying to rаpe a sixteen-year-old girl. He turned himself in to U.S. Marshals in 2020 after he and Nicki moved to California and he neglected to register as a offender there.
Petty was given a one-year home confinement sentence, three years of probation, and a $55,000 fine for failing to register as a offender.
Later, Petty’s rаpe victim accused Petty and Minaj of harassing her and of attempting to buy her out to modify her testimony.
In a court document, the “Starships” rapper refuted the allegations, stating: “I never asked her to change her story during the call; I never offered her money in exchange for a statement, and I never threatened her with any kind of harm if she chose not to provide a statement.”
“In fact, I told her very clearly that I didn’t want her to lie about anything and that I would prefer it if she told the trutҺ about what she had just revealed to me.”
