We all thought Lewis Hamilton and Nicki Minaj were a couple but that rumor has been shut down by Nicki herself.
Nicki just posted a picture of a 40-year old man named Kenneth “Zoo” Petty. According to Bossip, the father of 5 is a sex offender and was convicted of attempted rape back in 1995. The victim was a 16-year old. Per nycsexoffender.com, his sentence was 18 to 54 months.
Kenneth Petty is the 40-year-old she’s been hanging with, and posting pics with on Instagram. Court records, obtained by TMZ, show he was convicted of first-degree attempted rape in April 1995. 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. Petty served almost 4 years in NY state prison for the crime.
When word got out that she was possibly dating Petty who is a sex offender, Nicki went on Twitter to defend her new man.
She basically said he made a mistake and that she likes making people mad with who she dates.
Also, it appears Petty served 7 years in jail for killing man.
According to the criminal complaint for Kenny Petty from the Queens County District Attorney, Petty pled guilty to first-degree manslaughter in the shooting death of a man named Lamont Robinson.
The complaint claims on April 27, 2002 at 12:30 AM, Petty shot Robinson “with a loaded handgin (sic) multiple times thereby causing his death.”
Officials originally charged Petty with murder in the second degree, but he was able to get it knocked down to manslaughter when he cut a deal.
Check out the reaction from fans, Petty’s mugshot, Nicki Tweets and the Instagram posts of her new love on the next page. Also, it is possible she might be getting scammed.
