Nicki Minaj’s husband, kenneth Petty was arrested by US Marshals for failing to register as a s*x offender.

His bail was set at $20,000 and he was ordered at the time to register as a s*x offender in California.
“He was 15, she was 16 … in a relationship,” Minaj said in his defense in December 2018.
“But go awf, internet, y’all can’t run my life. y’all can’t even run y’all own life.” She added
However, Petty still did not register as a s*x offender after being told to so the second time.
After his arrest, he was arraigned before a court and pleaded not guilty.
