Nicki Minaj Is Defending Her New Boyfriend Who Is Literally A Sex Offender

In probably the weirdest and concerning story we’ve heard all day, Nicki Minaj is defending her new boyfriend who is a registered sex offender and has done time for manslaughter.

TMZ originally reported that Nicki’s new boyfriend is 40-year-old Kenneth Petty, who has at least two convictions to his name.

He was convicted of first-degree attempted rape in April 1995, when he was 16 at the time, and so was his victim.

Prosecutors said he used a sharp object when he tried to force the girl to have sexual intercourse. He served almost 4 years in NY state prison for the crime.

If that isn’t bad enough to scare someone off, several years later, he was convicted of first-degree manslaughter after he shot someone, which landed him behind bars for seven years.

Nicki is now finally speaking out about the situation by responding to people on Instagram. The rapper responded to a commenter who came to her defence on Instagram, hitting back at everyone else in the process.

“He was 15, she was 16 … in a relationship,” she replied. “But go awf, Internet. Y’all can’t run my life. Y’all can’t even run y’all own life. Thank you boo.”

There are so many things wrong with this but honestly we’re not surprised. Nicki has also been flaunting her new bloke all over Instagram because she thinks this is all FINE.
