Nicki Minaj has sparked divorce rumours after posting a cryptic single tweet. The 42-year-old American rapper, who wed high school sweetheart Kenneth Petty in 2019, took to X on Monday to share the cryptic tweet ‘yes single.’
The tweet made fans question whether the rapper addressed her relationship status or hinted at new music. ‘So are we getting a new single or are you single,’ one fan asked, as another shared: ‘We love you no matter what, idc if you’re single or dropping a new single.’ Yet another congratulated Nicki on her apparent self-promotion tactic, posting, ‘Dear rap girlies, this is how you pull a PR stunt. literally two words and she ate.’ The post comes after her husband Kenneth petitioned a court to approve him leaving the U.S. in April, as he remains on probation for his 2021 conviction of failing to register as a sex offender.
Petty, 46, stated in court documents reviewed by TMZ that he must join Nicki on her European Pink Friday 2 tour to accompany their three-year-old son. The probation officer overseeing Petty’s case, stemming initially from his first-degree attempted rape conviction in April 1995, ‘hasn’t raised any objections to his travel request,’ the outlet reported, citing court docs.
Petty made headlines last September when he received a 120-day house arrest sentence for violating probation after posting social media clips containing aggressive messages towards Migos rapper Offset.
