Nicki Minaj's new boyfriend, Kenneth "Zoo" Petty, is getting a lot of negative press for his troubled past, but the Young Money MC seems determined to push all the controversy to the side.
On Friday (December 21), Minaj took to Instagram to share a video of her man's first and only tattoo. It's a massive ode to the rapper's birth name, Onika, but his selection makes sense. After all, these two have known each other prior to her superstar fame. "Did ya tat hurt zaddy? his first tat - frontin like it didn't sting #Onika #HeavyOnIt #SuperSleezy," she captioned the clip.
Petty's big ink reveal comes after a string of controversial stories, including reports that he's a registered sex offender in New York, accused of using a "knife/cutting instrument (e.g. ax, ice pick, screwdriver, switchblade, Kung Fu stars, cane sword, etc.)" during an attempted rape and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Despite his reported 12 arrests, Minaj has come to his defense and recently pointed her target at TMZ. "Y'all can post these 'til ur blue in the face. No one on God's earth is perfect. Oh, I forgot - y'all have never sinned; nor have your loved ones. Heard you," she previously wrote on her Instagram Story.
As you already know, Minaj went public with her new relationship in mid-December and was instantly hit with criticism of her 40-year-old beau, who she's reportedly known since high school.
