Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Perry, who is a convicted felon, has been put under house arrest after he threatened rapper Offset who is Cardi B’s husband.
45-year-old Perry was sentenced to 120 days of house arrest by a court on Wednesday, September 20, 2023.
“He was recorded on video making threatening remarks to a specific individual while in the company of someone with a criminal record,” court papers read in part.

The specific individual mentioned in the court order is the rapper Offset, real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus, and the video in question relates to a series of messages Petty addressed to the rapper that appeared on social media on Saturday 16 September.
In the video that went viral on social media, Nicki Minaj’s husband and some of his friends are seen outside a New York City hotel where Offset was reportedly staying at the time.
In it, Petty can be heard making a number of comments, including: “Plan that vacation, you gonna be planning your funeral p***y!”
Offset appeared unbothered by the threatening remarks, brushing them off in a video in which he said: “I’m getting off a jet. He’s funny.”
The videos are in violation of the terms of his probation.
Petty was sentenced to three years probation in July 2022 after he plead guilty to failing to register as a 𝓈ℯ𝓍 offender in California in 2020.
Minaj’s husband was convicted for the first-degree attempted rape of a 16-year-old girl in 1995. He spent four years in prison in New York.
Petty married Nicki Minaj in 2019. The couple were 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥hood sweethearts and welcomed a son in September 2020.
It is should also be noted that Nicki Minaj and Cardi B are bitter music rivals who are embroiled in a long-running feud.
The two musicians were involved in physical altercation in September 2018 at a New York fashion week party.
