Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, slammed for using gay slur: ‘Just insulted her entire male fanbase’

Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, is being blasted online after he used a gay slur during a joint TikTok Live Friday evening.

“Don’t you let anybody or anything steal your mother f—king joy,” the 41-year-old “Barbie World” rapper said with her husband sitting behind her.

Petty then responded with a smile, “That’s right, especially little f–s or f–k boys.”

Fans quickly protested the comment, with one one claiming on X Saturday that he “just insulted her entire male fanbase.”

“it’s giving the popular girl who says she’s for the gays but let her boyfriend say slurs while she laughs,” a second fan quipped.

“This is crazy especially knowing 90% of her fans are gay men,” another user pointed out.

“This is the second time he has said this around her and she didn’t correct him. Her fandom is mostly gay men smh,” wrote a fourth disappointed user.

Dozens of fans also attacked Petty’s troubled past, with one writing, “He ain’t complaining when the same gays are paying his court fees and funding his wife lifestyle.”

Petty’s latest run-in with the law occurred in September 2023 when he was ordered to serve 120 days of home detention after he violated his probation by threatening Offset on social media.

He was on probation for failing to register as a sex offender after marrying Minaj in 2019 and moving to California with her.

His sentence included three years of probation and one year in home detention. He also had to pay a $55,000 fine.

Petty was also convicted of attempted rape in the first degree in April 1995 for an assault on a 16-year-old girl the year prior.

Minaj has always defended him against the conviction and once claimed that he was only 15 years old when dating the defendant.

Petty also previously pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in 2002. He was ultimately sentenced to a decade behind bars but was released in 2013 after serving seven years.

Reps for Minaj did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Petty and Minaj attended high school together at New York City’s LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts and reconnected in 2018.

The “Starships” rapper told Vogue in December 2023 that she was instantly drawn to Petty because of his indifference to her superstardom.

“Because I’ve known my husband for so long, there’s an ease we have with each other,” she added. “We make each other laugh. We’re silly. And we’re always reminiscing about some old story.

“If it was a guy that I met as Nicki Minaj, I think I’d feel like they liked me because I’m Nicki Minaj, and what if I don’t look like Nicki Minaj every day? And that, combined with pregnancy, would probably have made me crazy.”

The pair welcomed their first child together, a son nicknamed “Papa Bear,” in September 2020.
