Nicki Minaj’s New Boyfriend Is An Old Flame Who Treats Her ‘Like a Queen’

Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty

*Nicki Minaj is sick of y’all coming for her new boyfriend with the checkered past… so she had her team reach out to TMZ to drop the scoop on their relationship.

As it turns out, he isn’t exactly new — he’s been in her life since he was a teenager.

As we previously reported, Nicki fans are wondering if she’s desperate or trolling for going public with Petty, who remains a registered sex offender in the state of New York. He’s also been convicted of attempted rape of a 16-year-old girl, and he pled guilty to manslaughter in March 2006 and was released in May 2013 after serving 7 of a 10-year sentence.

But sources close to Nicki want fans to worry not, as they tell TMZ that she dated Petty back in the day when she was 16 and living in Queens

via TMZ:

Sources close to Nicki tell TMZ … she calls him one of her first loves. 

We’re told Nicki understands Kenneth has a troubled past — he’s a registered sex offender convicted of attempted rape — but she’s confident he’s matured since his time in NY state prison in the late 1990s. 

Petty was convicted of first-degree attempted rape in April 1995, when he and his victim were both 16. Sources say the full context of the crime is Kenneth was dating the victim — and her mother filed the charges because she didn’t approve of him.

Our sources say Nicki and Kenneth still have great chemistry, despite all the years between their relationships. We’re told she was very stressed out before they got back together, but she’s much happier since rekindling their romance.

We’re told Kenneth’s been treating her like a queen, and even planned the birthday trip. We’re told Nicki’s friends haven’t seen her this happy with anyone in years.

And there’s this (via Sandra Rose):

Nicki hopped into the comments to co-sign a fan who noted that Petty was only 16 when he was arrested for reportedly forcibly raping his then-girlfriend…. see the post below.
