Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty was sentenced on Wednesday to a year under home confinement, along with three years’ probation and a $55,000 fine, for failing to register in California as a sex offender.
Minaj wasn’t at her husband’s sentencing hearing, which Petty’s defense attorneys said was to avoid causing a spectacle for the event. Instead, she supplied a lengthy letter to Petty’s defense team, who read the letter during the sentencing hearing. She “I have no doubt my son would be traumatized if his father would be taken out of his life,” she wrote. “I’ve known Kenneth Petty for over 20 years, when I first met him I knew he needed guidance… I’ve seen his genuine evolution first hand.
Prior to the announcing of his sentencing, Petty expressed remorse for failing to register in California and breaking the law. “I take full responsibility for whatever happens today,” he said. “I’m ashamed, embarrassed and disrespected my wife’s brand. There are no excuses, I broke the law. I thank you for giving me the chance to speak, to apologize.”
Beyond the sentencing, Petty faces a lawsuit from Jennifer Hough, who Petty was convicted of attempting to rape in 1994. Hough
