Kenneth Petty, the husband of rapper Nicki Minaj, has been placed under house arrest for 120 days. This legal action stems from an incident where Petty and his associates allegedly traveled to New York with the intention of intimidating rapper Offset.
The situation unfolded when Petty and his companions allegedly went to a hotel where they believed Offset was staying. During their time at the hotel, they recorded a video of themselves, which authorities perceived as a threat directed towards Offset.
Upon seeing the video, Offset reportedly responded with laughter, seemingly unfazed by the alleged threats. However, the situation escalated due to Petty’s probation status. Federal authorities, upon reviewing the video, determined that Petty had violated the terms of his probation, leading to his house arrest.
The alleged dispute between Petty and Offset is believed to stem from the ongoing feud between their respective partners, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. Petty’s actions are seen by some as an attempt to defend his wife amidst the ongoing tension between the two female rappers.

Others maintain that Petty was simply defending his wife. The incident highlights the complexities of personal relationships within the public eye and the potential consequences of actions taken in the heat of the moment.
