So, reports suggest that Kenneth Petty, Nicki Minaj’s husband, allegedly cheated on her, which is quite a shocker considering she took significant risks for their relationship. Apparently, Kenneth was caught hosting a group of strippers at their home while Nicki was away on business. Adding to the drama, his ex-girlfriend, Redbone, claimed Kenneth never truly loved Nicki and has been using her to resolve his legal and financial troubles, implying he might intend to leave her. Interestingly, this situation seems to tilt the scales in Cardi B’s favor in her ongoing feud with Nicki. Nicki once mocked Cardi during her public struggles with Offset’s infidelity, but now she’s facing similar issues, with multiple women reportedly involved. It seems karma has its own way of balancing things out, doesn’t it?
If you’ve been active on social media lately, you’ve likely come across discussions where people are heavily criticizing Nikki’s husband due to his troubling criminal past. Back in 1995, at the age of 17, he was arrested for attempting a serious offense against a 16-year-old named Jennifer Hugh. He admitted guilt to the charges and served a 4-year sentence. Adding to the controversy, both he and Nikki faced a lawsuit from Jennifer for alleged intimidation, though the case was later dismissed due to insufficient evidence. Many have condemned Nikki for potentially jeopardizing her reputation and career by staying with someone they perceive as adding no value to her life.
One might expect Kenneth to exhibit exemplary behavior, considering Nikki’s significant financial contributions and the sacrifices she’s made for their relationship. However, it appears he’s allegedly engaging in infidelity while she’s away earning a living. Reports surfaced via a blind item, alleging Kenneth was caught hosting a string of strippers at their home while Nikki was in Trinidad for carnival festivities. Supposedly, his inability to accompany Nikki was due to his probation status for failing to register in California.
There’s been quite a stir regarding a certain foreign-born rapper and artist who purportedly ended things with her spouse due to his inability to accompany her on overseas trips. Allegedly, he’s barred from traveling with her. Meanwhile, while she’s away, there’s been a parade of exotic dancers visiting his residence. Rumor has it, this couple in question is none other than Nicki Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty. Despite Nicki’s vibrant appearance at the Trinidad Carnival in 2023, Kenneth apparently didn’t join her there. This suspicion was further fueled when it was revealed that Nicki splurged on a $19 million mansion. Interestingly, Kenneth’s listed address with the California registry doesn’t match Nicki’s new abode; instead, he’s reportedly residing in their previous shared home. This inconsistency has sparked speculation among fans, suggesting potential marital discord.
Speculations heightened when Kenneth’s former flame, Redbone, dropped some subtle hints suggesting that Kenneth had been unfaithful to Nikki. Through a couple of cryptic posts on her Instagram stories, she insinuated a history of infidelity, stating, “Love is fleeting. Treat others as they’ve treated you. They always return when you possess that spark.”
Interestingly, this isn’t the first instance of Redbone throwing shade at Nikki. Back in 2018, when Nikki went public with her relationship with Kenneth, Redbone publicly accused Nikki of leveraging her fame and wealth to lure Kenneth away from her. She lamented, “I harbor no ill will towards her, but she’s meddling with my man who was sharing my space. How could he abruptly abandon our relationship to chase after a rapper? I understand she’s famous and all, and it’s common for women to pursue rappers, but as his partner, I never anticipated such behavior.”
Nikki defended herself, asserting that she and Kenneth were childhood sweethearts who rediscovered love upon reuniting. Amidst rumors suggesting that Redbone, purportedly a friend of Cardi B’s confidante, Star Brim, was in a relationship with Kenneth prior to Nikki, a source fueled speculation. However, skepticism arose regarding the source’s credibility, with doubts cast on the notion that Nikki would deliberately pursue Cardi’s acquaintance’s partner to spite her. The suggestion seemed implausible, as it lacked logical coherence regarding its potential impact on Cardi.
Regarding Nikki and Kenneth’s alleged separation, rumors circulated that Nikki concealed the situation to avoid ridicule after investing heavily in their relationship, only to face betrayal through Kenneth’s alleged infidelity with his ex-partner and various strippers. Despite her efforts to keep the matter private, the truth emerged, leading to public scrutiny. Cardi, seizing the opportunity, reportedly viewed this as Nikki’s karmic retribution for mocking her during a vulnerable period when she publicly addressed Offset’s infidelity and their marital struggles. Nikki’s perceived insensitivity surfaced when she posted a meme of Michael Jackson on Twitter, seemingly at the time of Cardi’s emotional revelation, prompting criticism for its apparent mockery of Cardi’s pain.
So, if you weren’t aware, Offset has been emulating Michael Jackson in his music videos for quite some time now, even going as far as getting a tattoo of the King of Pop on his stomach. It didn’t take long for people to pick up on the subtle shade Nicki was throwing. Many were not pleased with this, and they didn’t hold back in calling Nicki out, like one individual who remarked, “But Nicki is still tied to that RSO on probation. She’s hardly in a position to mock someone else’s misfortune.” Cardi didn’t tolerate Nicki’s behavior and publicly called her and her husband out, saying, “Take your man to a park and leave me alone. I’m really not in the mood today.” Cardi shut down Nicki’s drama effortlessly. Nicki should’ve just minded her own business and focused on her own life instead of meddling in Cardi’s affairs.
In any case, it’s evident that Nicki took a dig at Cardi when she was already dealing with her own issues, and Cardi swiftly fired back. It’s truly disheartening to see these two women constantly tearing each other down over petty matters. As always, people had their opinions on the matter. For instance, one person speculated, “I wouldn’t be surprised if Kenneth did something like this. Didn’t he cheat on his first partner and abandon their children for Nicki? What made her think she’d be treated any differently? Now she’s tarnished her reputation and is seen by many as an apologist for certain actions, possibly multiple times.” Another individual questioned, “I fail to comprehend why Nicki chose to marry him and have a child with him knowing he can’t even leave the state. They can’t even travel together. Perhaps she felt pressured by her age and rushed into having a child since she’s now 40. So she settled for someone from her past, as many men in the industry are often viewed as manipulative and deceitful.”
“Now, I’m curious about your perspectives. How do you all feel about Nikki’s husband, who seems to be neglecting his responsibilities and cheating on her?
