Nicki Minaj and her husband are in hot water with their neighbors. There's a petition circulating online from Hidden Hills neighbors concerned about Minaj's husband Kenneth Petty. Hundreds of residents have already the petition. Their issue with Petty is that he's a registered sex offender, per TMZ.
In 1995, Petty became a registered sex offender after being convicted in New York of attempted rape. He served more than four years prison time for it. And when he moved to California, he failed to register as a sex offender and is currently serving one year of home detention.
Ever since Petty and Minaj moved into the Hidden Hills neighborhood, there's been some controversy for the residents. Now there's a petition to get them out, started by resident Beverly Barden. Although the duo moved into the mansion back in December, attention was drawn back to him when Petty filed new legal docs changing his address on the Megan's Law website.
