Kenneth Petty, Nikki Minaj’s husband is in federal custody after having turned himself in to the Marshalls in California.

As reported by TMZ, Petty moved to California in 2019 and was pulled over for a traffic stop. It was discovered during that stop that he is a sex offender and had not registered in California. It is required by law. He was taken into custody then released on a $20,000 bond. Petty was charged for not registering as a sex offender.

In 1995 Petty was convicted for first-degree attempted rape. He served four years in New York State prison.

If he is convicted on this latest charge he could be sentenced for up to 10 years in prison.

Nikki Minaj is no stranger to this territory. Her brother Jelani Miraj is currently serving 25 to life for the sexual assault of an 11 year-old girl. He was found guilty in 2017 and sentenced in 2020.
