The US police arrested Kenneth Petty , husband of Nicki Minaj , on Wednesday in a formal accusation after he did not register as a sex offender in the state of California, where he moved in July 2019. This was reported by TMZ news portal.
According to the news site, Petty was in federal court and is scheduled to appear before a judge. Petty, who moved to California during the summer, was arrested in November during a traffic stop in Beverly Hills, after police determined he was a sex offender registered in the state of New York but not in his hometown.
Subsequently, he was arrested and then released on bail of US $ 20,000. Kenneth Petty, 41, who secretly married the interpreter of "Tusa," was accused of not registering as a sex offender.

According to the portal, Petty is part of the New York Sex Offender Registry with Level 2, charged with the crime of attempted first-degree rape that took place in 1994 when he and the victim were 16 years old.
At that time, Minaj's husband went to jail and served a sentence of almost four years. By 1999, Petty was released. In 2019, Nicki Minaj turned to her Instagram account to defend her husband, when fans flooded her profile with comments to the singer where they disapproved of her behavior by silently accepting her husband's crimes.
Minaj said the following about the charge of sexual assault, "I was 15, she was 16, they were in a relationship." In 2006, the artist's husband returned to prison on charges charged with first-degree murder, and on that occasion he spent seven years in prison serving his sentence.

TMZ reports that if Kenneth is convicted of the federal charge for not registering, he can face up to 10 years in prison.
Last October, the singer surprised all her followers by publishing a video on her Instagram account in which she implied that she married, the music producer, with whom she had been dating for less than a year.
In the clip, the 36-year-old interpreter showed some of the details of the link, such as cups or caps with the words "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" printed. In addition, in the comment of the publication he wrote his new married name, Tanya Maraj-Petty , and the date of his link, 10-21-19.

A few weeks earlier, on August 12, the rapper advanced this decision by stating during the "Queen Radio" program that she had filled out the papers to be able to marry her boyfriend and that the link would take place in less than 80 days.
Similarly, he said his wedding would not be something big or flashy. "We are not going to do any of that. It is too much. I can not in any way. It would take too long to plan everything, and it is not something that I do well, it would take me two years to have everything ready," he said.
