Entertainment - Nicki Minaj’s Husband Slammed For Using Gay Slur | Revry

Husband of rapper Nicki Minaj, Kenneth Petty, has been criticized online following his use of a gay slur on a TikTok livestream. The comment followed a segment of the live where Minaj encouraged her fans not to let “anybody or anything” to steal their “mother f**king joy.” Agreeing with the rapper's sentiment, Petty added with a smile, “That’s right, especially little f***s or f**k boys." This comment sparked outrage online, with many users criticizing Minaj for allowing the comment due to her “primarily gay and male fan base.” Fans also highlighted Minaj’s past defense of Petty's criminal history, which includes a guilty plea to manslaughter in 2002 and a 10-year prison sentence. In 1995, Petty was also convicted of attempted rape in the first degree. Minaj previously filed a harassment lawsuit against Petty's alleged victim. Petty also failed to register as a sex-offender in 2019, and most recently served 120 days of home detention in September 2023.
