Minaj has shared an intimate photo of herself and Kenneth “Zoo” Petty on Instagram.
In 1995, Petty was convicted of first-degree attempted rape of a 16-year-old. According to public records, Petty, who was also 16 at the time, served four years in prison for the crime.
In the mid-2000s Petty was convicted with first-degree manslaughter. He was released in 2013 after serving a 7-year sentence for shooting a man.
TMZ has reported that the two know each other from Queens.
