Singer's felon partner on house arrest after threatening husband of rival rapper
_
Kenneth Petty, Nicki Minaj’s husband, is in trouble with the law again after threatening another rapper. A California judge ordered Kenneth be put on house arrest for 120 days after he was recorded in a menacing video threatening Migos rapper Offset.
“Plan that vacation, you gonna be planning your funeral,” Kenneth said in the viral clip.
The legal ruling, obtained by Page Six, accused Nicki’s hubby of “making threatening remarks toward a specific individual while in the company of someone with a criminal record.” Offset, who’s married to Cardi B, is that particular “individual.”
The situation adds another layer to the supposed years-long beef between Nicki and Cardi. Click through to relive their drama and find out how Kenneth was actually nowhere near Offset when he issued the alleged threats..

In a video recorded on Sept. 16, Kenneth Petty and some friends stood outside a hotel in New York City where they believed Offset was staying. They often implored him to come “outside.” “You wanna play? It’s all fun and games til we wanna play, too,” Kenneth said.
Shortly after, Offset posted a video of him laughing while getting off a private jet, all but indicating he wasn’t anywhere near the New York hotel. He also called Kenneth “broke.”
After the new ruling, Nicki Minaj’s husband won’t be playing anywhere, as his home detention program will involve electronic monitoring, GPS and alcohol monitoring.
Page Six said Kenneth’s violation “raises concerns” over his “willingness to comply with court’s orders.” The home arrest will “hopefully encourage him to reflect upon and reevaluate his current status in the community,” the court docs state.

There’s no doubt that Kenneth Petty has a checkered past. In 1995, Kenneth was convicted of attempted first-degree rape of a 16-year-old girl in New York. He was imprisoned and forced to register as a sex offender. In 2006, he also pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter. After that offense he was in prison until his release in 2013.
In Sept. 2021, Kenneth pled guilty to the one count of failure to register as a sex offender charge.

The impetus of Kenneth Petty’s beef with Offset isn’t known, but their wives have definitely had issues in the past. Nicki Minaj and Cardi B got into a brawl while attending the same New York Fashion Week event in 2018. The two then slammed each other in song lyrics.
The women appeared to have squashed their beef.
“Ok you guys, let’s focus on positive things only from here on out. We’re all so blessed. I know this stuff is entertaining & funny to a lot of people but I won’t be discussing this nonsense anymore,” Nicki tweeted. “Thank you for the support & encouragement year after year. Love you.”
Cardi posted a screenshot of the tweet on her Instagram, writing “@Nickiminaj alright then! Let’s keep it positive and keep it pushing!”
But even after that exchange, there’s been tension between the women.

Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty were high school sweethearts before splitting. However, they reconciled and married in 2019. “He won’t even say the word ‘Nicki.’ He has called me Onika since I was 15 so it’s hard to change that,” she once said of her man. “I wouldn’t date anyone cuz I’m about to be married to my soulmate. But that was the problem, others [are] infatuated w/ Nicki Minaj he DGAF about this industry & is very protective.”
In 2020, the duo welcomed a son.
