Kenneth Petty, Nicki Minaj's spouse, is now serving 120 days of house detention for violating his probation terms. This violation stemmed from social media clips where he seemed to threaten rapper Offset. A court order filed recently in California's Central District directed Petty to undergo home monitoring due to recorded threats directed at a specific individual, identified as Offset. These threats were evident in social media posts made on September 16. Petty received a three-year probation sentence in July 2022 after admitting guilt for failing to register as a sex offender in California in 2020. His criminal history includes a 1995 conviction for first-degree attempted rape of a 16-year-old girl, resulting in a four-year prison term in New York. The viral video from September 16 showed Petty and his companions outside a New York City hotel, where Offset was reportedly staying. Amid various menacing remarks, Petty uttered, «Plan that vacation, you gonna be planning your funeral, pussy!» Offset, formerly part of the Migos rap group and Cardi B's husband, responded to the threats in a video on his social media platform. He downplayed the situation, saying, «I'm getting off a jet, he's funny,» and suggested that Petty was financially unstable. It's worth noting that Nicki Minaj and Cardi B have a history of feuding, culminating in a physical altercation at the Harper’s Bazaar Icons party during New York Fashion Week in September 2018. Videos from the event circulated widely on social media, depicting Cardi B lunging at Minaj and initiating an altercation.
