Nicki Minaj’s husband is in trouble with the law.
According to reports, Kenneth Petty was indicted for failing to register as a sex offender in California, which was required as a result of being convicted of attempted rape in the first degree in 1995 in New York.
The U.S. Marshals confirmed on social media that Petty self-surrendered in Los Angeles on Wednesday and is in federal custody.
According to Petty’s booking sheet, after he was pulled over on Nov. 15 for a traffic stop in Beverly Hills, it was determined that he had not registered as a sex offender in California after he moved to the state from New York.
Petty was arrested and released on a $20,000 bond. Petty’s next hearing is this Friday.
Petty is a level two registered sex offender in New York. He was convicted in April 1995 for attempted rape in the first degree with a 16-year-old girl, a crime committed in September 1994.
Minaj, on her end, has defended her beau on social media ever since fans expressed their dislike for Petty.
It was revealed that the 37-year-old rapper was married after she took to Instagram to share a video that suggested she had tied the knot.
