Nicki Minaj took to Instagram to celebrate the fifth wedding anniversary with her husband, Kenneth Petty, sharing heartfelt words and cherished memories.
The rapper posted photos and videos capturing their journey, including a sweet moment of Petty with their son, affectionately known as Papa Bear.
Expressing her emotions, Nicki mentioned meeting Petty 24 years ago and described it as ‘love at first sight.’ She expressed gratitude for the unwavering support Petty has shown her throughout their relationship.
The couple’s relationship traces back to their teenage years, reconnecting in 2018 after Nicki’s split with Meek Mill. They married in 2019 and welcomed their first child the next year.
Despite the happy moments, Petty’s criminal history continues to cast a shadow. He faced viral attention earlier this year when his updated sex offender registry photo appeared online.
The 46-year-old’s past includes a conviction for attempted rape, which continues to be a point of public scrutiny. His mugshot, found on the Megan’s Law website, underscores the legal obligations he must fulfill.
Petty denies the accusations, maintaining that the encounter was consensual. In court documents, he emphasized this stance, insisting that it was a mutual engagement.
Nevertheless, this hasn’t deterred Nicki from standing by her husband. She has publicly defended him, although this defense has stirred controversy, especially after allegations arose about offering money to his accuser to change her story.
Despite the ongoing public controversy surrounding Kenneth Petty, Nicki Minaj’s dedication to her husband remains strong as they celebrate their marriage and family life.
