Kenneth Petty, Nicki Minaj’s husband and the father of her child, has agreed to take a plea deal on a charge of failing to register as a sex offender. In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors agreed to seek a lighter sentence—the mandatory minimum is five years of supervised release—rather than the maximum of 10 years in prison and supervised release for life. Petty was convicted of first-degree attempted rape in 1995 and charged with failing to register in March 2020 after moving to Los Angeles with Minaj.
