Kenneth Petty’s legal team requested the travel exception. His lawyers claimed the New York native needed to join Nicki Minaj on tour for “various purposes, including childcare.” The couple have a 3-year-old son together.
Minaj heads to Canada for an April 17 concert in Montreal. Her Pink Friday 2 World Tour also features stops in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France and other European countries.
Kenneth Petty pled guilty to attempted rape in a 1995 case in New York and served four years in prison. In 2021, he also pled guilty to failing to register as a sex offender in California which led to his current probation status.
