One of Nicki Minaj's neighbors in her wealthy Hidden Hills, California, neighborhood has started a petition to kick her out of her $19.5 million estate due to her husband, Kenneth Petty, being a registered sex offender.
Petty was convicted of first-degree attempted rape in 1995 at the age of 16, for which he served over four years in prison. As part of his release conditions, he must register as a sex offender wherever he lives. Petty is currently serving out his three-year probation and a year of home detention sentence after he was arrested by United States Marshals in 2020 for failing to register as a sex offender in the state of California.
One of Nicki's neighbors, Beverly Bardan, started a petition on change.org, which was titled: "SAY NO TO SEX OFFENDERS IN HIDDEN HILLS." In the petition, Bardan took aim at Petty, writing, "Kenneth Petty is a level 3 sex offender, convicted for the attempted rape of a 16 year old girl, and has a high likelihood to reoffend,” the petition reads. “He was also found guilty for killing a man. He is currently under house arrest for failing to register as a sex offender in California as law demands it."
She added, "The Petty couple moving in would lead to appraisal value of our homes to go DOWN due to safety concerns. It would lead to children and women being a target. We, the residents of Hidden Hills, must put our resident’s 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!"
