Since he began dating Nicki Minaj in 2018, Kenneth Petty has become a well-known name, but for many of the wrong reasons. While dating Nicki, fans have bashed the singer for his previous criminal record, involving a rape conviction in 1995, making him a registered sex offender in New York.

While they went on to get married just a year later the following October, many fans took the time to air their critical opinions of their favorite artist's new man. However, others have jumped to his defense, including Nicki herself, slamming down the facts in front of fans in her Instagram comments section.

Despite living through so much uproar, it seems that the backlash hasn't publicly affected their relationship, and it appears that Nicki is more in love with Petty than ever before, detailing how 'money can't buy happiness.'

We know that he doesn't have a background in the entertainment industry, so what exactly does Kenneth Petty do for a living, and how does he make money?

Kenneth Petty's past convictions stem from abuse and assault charges

While Minaj has publicly defended her boyfriend-turned-husband on many occasions, it seems some fans will never give their seal of approval on the singer's blossoming relationship. Despite now working in the music industry, many fans feel as though Minaj's hubby has a questionable past.

Some of these controversial events include past convictions of assault and manslaughter, which has left fans in uproar over the singer's decision to marry (let alone date) Petty.

He served a total of seven years in prison and was released on parole in 2013. However, a source told US Magazine that Nicki 'believes he has changed since his troublesome days', despite the fact that many of her friends (and fans) are still feeling particularly cautious about the situation.

In September 2023, Petty was again in trouble with the law when he threatened Cardi B's husband, Offset. This was a violation of Petty's probation and as a result, he was ordered to 120 days of house arrest.
