What’s the Backstory Behind Offset and Nicki Minaj’s Husband’s Drama?

Nicki Minaj and Cardi B are no strangers to controversy; in fact, they often find themselves right in the middle of it. For instance, the significant others of these two talented women have faced public disapproval, yet Minaj and Cardi B have remained steadfast in their support.

In 2018, Offset openly admitted to infidelity in his marriage to Cardi B, a decision that drew criticism towards her for choosing to stand by him. In her own words during a 2020 interview with Vogue, Cardi B shared, “When me and my husband got into our issues — you know, he cheated and everything — and I decided to stay with him and work together with him, a lot of people were so mad at me; a lot of women felt disappointed in me.”

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, has garnered his own share of controversy due to his failure to register as a sex offender, which resulted in his current probation and house arrest status, as reported by People.

Both Offset and Petty have their fair share of detractors, and it’s no secret that Minaj and Cardi B have had a longstanding public feud, famously clashing during New York Fashion Week in 2018. So, it’s not entirely surprising that there seems to be ongoing tension between Offset and Petty, given the history of their wives’ disagreements.

While the exact cause of the feud between the two men remains unclear, it’s apparent that their wives’ turbulent relationship history plays a role. In any case, Petty faced backlash for posting threatening videos directed at Offset as recently as September 2023. Here’s the scoop on the situation.

Kenneth Petty’s Confrontation with Offset Led to Legal Consequences

Kenneth Petty, Nicki Minaj’s husband, recently found himself in a tough situation after posting a video on social media. In this clip, he and a few friends were hanging outside a New York City hotel, where Offset was rumored to be staying. Things got tense as one of the guys in the group can be heard making threats, warning Offset about planning his funeral. Petty kept asking where the Migos rapper was, but Offset didn’t seem too fazed by it all. In fact, he responded in another video, saying, “I’m getting off a jet, he’s funny,” as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

While Offset might have taken it lightly, law enforcement certainly didn’t. A court in central California ruled that Petty’s actions constituted a violation of his current probation. The reason? He had made threatening remarks directed at a specific individual, in this case, Offset, all while being in the company of someone with a criminal record. As a result, Petty was handed a sentence of “120 days of home detention,” according to Billboard. This means he’ll be confined to his home until around the end of January.

For Petty, who has already faced scrutiny due to his sex offender status, this is an opportunity to reflect on his actions. The court stated that the probation officer believes that this placement in the Location Monitor Program will allow for closer monitoring of Mr. Petty’s activities, limit his movements, and provide sanctions for non-compliance. In other words, it’s a chance for him to reevaluate his choices and behavior.

Now, let’s dive into how Cardi B, Offset, and Nicki Minaj reacted to the whole Kenneth Petty feud situation. It’s quite a rollercoaster, so let’s break it down.

Offset seemed to take Kenneth Petty’s threats in stride. In fact, he didn’t seem to be overly concerned about the whole ordeal. As court reporter Meghann Cuniff pointed out on X (formerly known as Twitter) in September 2023, the probation officer and the judge took action without any outside reports or complaints. Offset even laughed it off in a video while disembarking from a jet, and he was apparently on his way to meet Deion Sanders at a Colorado game. So, it’s safe to say that Offset didn’t let it ruffle his feathers.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Nicki Minaj had suggested that someone reported Petty to the police, but her comment stirred speculation. She wrote on her Instagram Stories, “Can’t call the cops every time you flop. Just saying.” It seems like she was implying that someone might be trying to shift the narrative in their favor.

A social media user then pointed the finger at Petty for drawing attention to his actions, saying that he was tagging every blog on Instagram. They added, “Be mad at him and HIS friends.” Cardi B seemed to agree with this perspective and even retweeted the post, adding her own passionate comment: “EXACTLY KEEP ME AND MY MANS OUT YALL F****G MOUTH!!!”

The feud between Offset and Petty is as perplexing as the ongoing rivalry between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj. It’s a tangled web of messy drama, and one thing is crystal clear: these superstar personalities do not see eye to eye.
