Kenneth Petty's criminal record 

Petty received a three-year probationary term and a fine of $55,000 after entering a guilty plea In July 2022. This followed after he failed to register as a sex offender in the state of California in 2020. He was found guilty in 1995 of attempting to rape a 16-year-old girl in the first degree and received a four-year prison sentence in New York.

For claims of recent harassment and intimidation, his accuser filed a lawsuit against Petty and Minaj in August 2021. His victim added that Petty's associates stated they paid to have a bounty placed on her head. In the end, the rapper was removed from the lawsuit. Soon after getting married, she and Petty moved to Los Angeles.

Unknown factors have rekindled the fight between Cardi, Minaj, and their spouses this time, but the social media backlash has fans enthralled. Tension had been building between the two female rappers for some time before they got into a fight during New York Fashion Week in 2018.
