Nicki Minaj’s husband arrested, indicted for failure to register as a sex offender

Nicki Minaj’s husband’s past is coming back to bite him. He’s been arrested by U.S. Marshals on an indictment for failing to register as a s.e.x offender, TMZ reports.



Kenneth Petty was in federal custody Wednesday. He turned himself into the Marshals. According to court docs, he’ll face a judge later today.

Petty moved to California in July 2019, but according to law enforcement he got pulled over in Beverly Hills in November and that’s when his legal troubles started.

Bev Hills PD made a traffic stop on November 15 and determined Petty was a registered s.e.x offender in New York state but had not registered in California … as required.

He was arrested and released on a $20,000 bond. The L.A. County D.A. charged him for failing to register as a s.e.x offender.

It appears he still didn’t check in after that because now the feds are in on the case. He was indicted in federal court for the same thing … failing to register.

Kenneth’s rap sheet includes a 1995 conviction for first-degree attempted r.a.p.e. He served almost 4 years in NY state prison for the crime and was required to register as a s.e.x offender.

If convicted on the federal charge for failure to register, Kenneth faces up to 10 years in prison.

Nicki and Kenneth hit up the Bev Hills Courthouse to get a marriage license in July … around the time the couple moved to California.
