Cardi B Fans Troll Nicki Minaj With Fake Petition to Boot Rapper's 'Sex Offender' Husband From Hidden Hills Mansion
June 23 2023, Published 12:58 p.m. ET
It appeared that residents of the Hidden Hills neighborhood home to Nicki Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty, are petitioning to get him out, but RadarOnline.com has learned it may just be an elaborate attempt from Cardi B fans to troll her rap rival.
A change.org link launched by Beverly Bardan back in December shows that 930 signatures have already rolled in to demand the "sex offender" leave promptly.
One Cardi fan appears to have confessed creating the Beverly moniker used to start the petition and an HHCA official told TMZ they were unaware of the petition, or of anyone by that name living there.
The description in the petition made note of his legal troubles over the years. As we previously reported, Petty was convicted in New York of attempted rape back in 1995 in a case for which he served four years behind bars.
He was ordered to register as a sex offender after hashing out a plea deal and has since updated his profile after he moved into the rapper's new mansion.
Per California Megan's Law website, Petty's address is now listed as Minaj's 8-bedroom, 11-bathroom, 11,820 sq. ft. abode, which cost her $19.5 million. She purchased the property in December 2022, around the time the petition went live.
"The Petty couple moving in would lead to appraisal value of our homes to go DOWN due to safety concerns," the description read. "We, the residents of Hidden Hills, must put our residents' safety first. Don't wait to receive a letter from the government saying a predator has moved in near you. DO NOT allow this dangerous sex offender to live near you, SHOW that you are against sex offenders in our Hidden Hills neighborhood!"
It was noted that Petty also pleaded guilty to a manslaughter charge in March 2006 and served seven years in prison.

More than 532 people signed this week amid his sex offender profile address change, indicating that it picked up traffic after RadarOnline.com broke the news.
Back in 2018, Nicki defended her husband amid reports of his rap sheet. "He was 15, she was 16 … in a relationship," she replied via Instagram. "But go awf, Internet. Y'all can't run my life. Y'all can't even run y'all own life. Thank you boo."
