Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty has reportedly been placed on house arrest. 

A judge allegedly ruled that Petty, 45, violated the terms of his three-year probation, which was handed to him in July 2022 after he pleaded guilty to failing to register as a sex offender in California two years prior.

In 1995, Petty – who married Grammy-nominated rapper Minaj, 40, in 2019 – was convicted of first-degree attempted rape of a 16-year-old girl and served four years in a New York prison.

He was also convicted of manslaughter after shooting a man dead in 2002, for which he served seven years in prison before being released in 2013.

Last weekend, Petty trended on social media after being filmed making threats against Migos rapper Offset, whose wife Cardi B has been embroiled in a feud with Minaj for several years.

Petty was filmed with his friends outside a hotel in New York where he believed Offset was staying. However, he may have had the wrong location as Offset, 31, later posted videos of himself boarding a plane elsewhere.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a court order was filed on Wednesday at the Central District of California ordering Petty to home monitoring for 120 days, noting he was ‘recorded on video making threatening remarks to a specific individual while in the company of someone with a criminal record.’

Offset is reportedly the ‘specific individual’ mentioned in the documents after Petty appeared to say in the video: ‘Plan that vacation, you gonna be planning your funeral p***y!’

Posting the video of him boarding the private jet, Offset later said in his own Instagram post: ‘I’m getting off a jet, he’s funny,’ before suggesting Petty was poor.

It’s not known what has reignited the feud between Minaj, Cardi and their husbands this time but fans have been gripped by the fallout on social media.

Tension had been brewing between Cardi, 30, and Minaj for some time before they got into an altercation at New York Fashion Week in 2018.

Super Bass hitmaker Minaj later addressed the incident on her Apple Music radio show and denied claims that she slammed Cardi’s parenting or her child, with the WAP rapper recently welcoming daughter Kulture at the time.
