Nicki Minaj's husband, Kenneth Petty, has been ordered to serve 120 days of home detention after violating the terms of his probation by posting videos on social media that appeared to threaten the rapper Offset.
In a court order filed Wednesday in the Central District of California, Petty was ordered to undertake home monitoring after he was recorded on video making threatening remarks to a specific individual while in the company of someone with a criminal record.
The specific individual mentioned in the order is Offset, and the videos relate to a series of messages Petty aimed at the rapper that went viral on social media on September 16.
Petty was sentenced to three years’ probation in July 2022 after pleading guilty to failing to register as a sex offender in the state of California in 2020. In 1995, Petty was convicted of the first-degree attempted rape of a 16-year-old girl and spent four years in prison in New York.
In the video clip, Petty and some of his entourage are seen outside a New York City hotel, purportedly where Offset was residing. In the footage, among various threatening comments, Petty says, “Plan that vacation, you gonna be planning your funeral p***y!.”
In a video posted to Offset’s social media, the rapper brushed off the threats. “I’m getting off a jet, he’s funny,” Offset said and implied that Petty was broke.
Offset, formerly a member of the Atlanta rap group Migos is the husband of rapper Cardi B. Minaj and Cardi B have had a long-running feud and both were involved in a fight at the Harper’s Bazaar Icons party during New York Fashion Week in September 2018.
Video circulating on social media at the time showed Cardi B lunging toward Minaj and attacking her.
