Nicki Minaj‘s husband has finally registered as a sex offender in the state of California following his arrest last week.
Kenneth Petty, 41, is listed in the California Department of Justice’s database with a new mugshot to boot. His offense is entered as “attempted rape by force or fear.”
Petty was placed in federal custody earlier this month for failing to register as a sex offender in California following his move to the Golden State from New York, where he is already registered. He was convicted in 1995 of attempting to rape a 16-year-old girl.
“He was 15, she was 16 … in a relationship,” Minaj, 37, 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.”
Minaj and Petty married in October 2019.
