Nicki Minaj has never cared what people thought of her. Whether she’s being scolded for her musical ability or her choice of clothing, the 39-year-old has managed to remain unbothered by what critics have to say– even regarding the sensitive topic around each husband.

It’s no secret that Nicki’s husband, Kenneth Petty, pled guilty to attempted rape nearly three decades ago. Due to this, he served more than four years in prison and was ordered to register as a sex offender. Despite this, Nicki, whose real name is Onika Tanya Maraj, decided to reconnect with her old friend, get married, and even produce a child with him.

Nevertheless, as they began to form into a family, things from Petty’s past continued to follow him. Last year, it was reported that Petty failed to register as a sex offender after moving to the state of California. As a result of his actions, a case was formed against him to which he pleaded guilty– a few days ago he learned his fate.

The father of one faced ten years behind bars with supervision for life, but ultimately walked away with one year of house arrest, three years of probation, and a $55,000 fine.

After the news broke online, thousands of people targeted Nicki and the lifestyle she chose to live. However, this did n’t phase her not one bit because she decided to post a picture of her two favorite men. In the first image, their last sat on Petty’s shoulders. In the second slide, the three were standing near each other outside of their luxurious home.

Glover said that police responded to a call from Grier who told police that he was fighting off two home introducers who were armed and masked. However, the officers claim that Grier confessed to shooting Destiny in the face, while a neighbor confirmed they overheard an argument at the residence before police arrived.

Glover also said Grier informed the police that he’s related to Young Thug. Grier is the son of Thug’s oldest sister, which sources close to the Atlanta rapper confirmed to the publication.

Glover confirmed that Grier has been charged with murder for the death of his girlfriend. So far, Thug’s legal team hasn’t issued any comments regarding Grier’s arrest.

Thug is currently behind bars after he was arrested as part of a RICO indictment on YSL. This week, a judge issued an order to protect witnesses in the case after prosecutors allege those testing have received death threats.

When the officer said, “Here we go about the broke and the money. Oh my god.”

“I’m just sayin’, do you got $10,000 in your bank account right now?” the rapper questioned. “I’m just sayin’, bro. If you die right now, what can you give your kids? If you die right now, what could you give the lady that you in bed with? What could you give to your mama? Have you ever bought yo’ mama anything? Did you buy yo’ mama a car? Did you buy yo’ mama a house? I did that.”

The officer said, “Good for you, bro. I’m glad you did that… I would love to do that one day.”

Polo was finished. “You would love to do it, but you never will.” When the officer asked Polo G if he was trying to make him feel like less of a man, the rapper said yes. Polo added that the officer could have been a baseball player, doctor, or boxer and made more money, but instead chose to be a cop.

On May 9, Young Thug, Gunna, Duke, and several other YSL Records artists and affiliates were named in a sprawling Georgia RICO indictment. Young Thug was one of the first accused artists to be arrested, and shortly after the indictment was announced, Gunna turned himself in as well. On May 23, Gunna was denied bond after prosecutors argued that the “pushin P” rapper is actually a documented YSL gang member and a dangerous leader in the organization.

Over a month later, Gunna has returned to court for a reconsideration of bond, but the DS4EVER artist has been denied bond once again.

Throughout this entire process, Gunna has attested that he is innocent and falsely accused, and on June 14, he released an open letter via Twitter that called for his freedom and the protection of Black art.

“Growing up from where I come from in a marginalized neighborhood, I never dreamt my art would change my life and the lives of my loved ones,” Gunna wrote in the statement. “We still pushing P: Power, Prayer, Progress, Passion, Productivity, Praise, Precision, Peace, Prosperity, Patience, Pride, and Persistence.”

After tense back and forths regarding whether or not he purposefully failed to register as a sex offender, Kenneth Petty has learned his fate. Nicki Minaj’s husband has been entangled in legal drama after Petty moved to California but did not register with the state. The rapper’s husband served time after he reportedly pleaded guilty to an attempted rape charge decades ago.

It was back in 1995 when then-16-year-old Jennifer Hough told police that Petty sexually assaulted her. He denied the but served four and a half years in prison following his conviction, and was ordered to register as a sex offender.

We previously reported that Petty pleaded guilty to the most recent charges against him. Prosecutors were said to have wanted a hefty penalty for the infraction, and today (July 6), a sentencing hearing put this all to rest.

Petty has been sentenced to one year of in-home detention instead of prison, in addition to three years probation. The US Attorney’s Office also stated that Petty must pay a $55K fine.

Neither Minaj nor Petty has issued statements regarding the news of his conviction, although it isn’t expected for the ultra-private couple to speak about this case.

Days after it was reported that Eric Holder had been attacked in jail, new photos of his injuries have surfaced. We’re in the thick of Holder’s trial as he stands accused of shooting and killing Nipsey Hussle at point-blank range. The death of the late rapper and activist created a movement that reverberates through Hip Hop until today, and rather quickly, Holder was located and arrested.

For years, there have been several delays associated with this case, but now that it is underway, Hussle’s supporters are awaiting news of Holder’s legal fate.

Earlier this week, Holder was mysteriously missing from the courtroom, and later, rumors began to spread that he claimed an attack behind bars. His attorney, Aaron Jansen, would come forward with details regarding what allegedly occurred.

“Mr. Holder, Jr. was assaulted by multiple individuals while he was in the holding cell at the jail while waiting to be brought to court yesterday morning,” Jansen told CBS News. “The attack included a razor and the back of his head was cut.”

Holder was reportedly back in court today (July 1) but it was clear that he was the victim of a vicious fight. A close-up photo of Holder has circulated online and it shows the 32-year-old with a swollen face. Any other injuries have not been specified nor shown publicly at this time.

As far as this case is concerned, prosecutors contest that Holder and Hussle were acquainted and grew up in the same neighborhood, but it is alleged that when the rapper warned him about snitching rumors, Holder murdered Nipsey in front of his Marathon Clothing Store business.
