Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth “Zoo” Petty has been sentenced to probation and house arrest for failing to register as a sex offender in California.
Petty was also ordered to pay a $55,000 fine. His probation is for 3 years and he must spend one year in home detention.
“We appreciate and respect the Court’s decision granting the defense request for probation and home confinement,” Petty’s attorneys Michael Goldstein and Hagop Kuyumjian said in a statement to USA TODAY.
In 2019, Petty was charged following his arrest at a traffic stop in Beverly Hills. Cops then discovered he had not registered as a sex offender in the state. He had been living there for 3 years. Petty finally registered with the California Megan’s Law database in March 2020.
Minaj is standing by her man, who allegedly raped a woman in his teens. The woman, Jennifer Hough, has accused the couple of harassment and threatening behavior.
