Nicki Minaj’s registered sex offender husband, Kenneth Petty, has been sentenced by a federal judge in Los Angeles to serve house arrest after violating the terms of his three-year probation, according to a court order obtained by Meghann Thee Reporter.
According to the document filed on Wednesday, Petty was recorded on video “making threatening remarks towards a specific individual while in the company of someone with a criminal record.” Meghann Cuniff claimed on Twitter that the “individual is Offset, Cardi B’s husband.”
The filing states that Petty’s probation officer “believes placement in the Location Monitoring Program will effectively allow for closer monitoring of Mr. Petty’s activities, limit his movements, provide a sanction for his non-compliance, and hopefully encourage him to reflect upon and reevaluate his current status in the community.”
Petty agreed to the modification terms and waived a personal appearance before the court. Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald ordered Petty to serve up to 120 days of house arrest.
Petty was sentenced to three years probation in July 2022 after pleading guilty to failing to register as a sex offender in the state of California in 2020.

As today’s filing shows, Petty’s U.S. Probation & Pretrial Services officer and his supervisor didn’t share Offset’s carefree approach to the video. They skipped the Instagram story and clapped back a bit more formally. pic.twitter.com/zdA6ZP9a8R
