Nicki Minaj Recently Showcased Family Support on Social Media

Known formally as Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, Nicki Minaj shared a family photo on X (previously Twitter) on October 1, 2024, featuring her and Kenneth Petty with a children’s indoor play area in the backdrop. Her caption read:

“They used to be giving yall the #fakenews so loud & proud I thought a brain vessel was gon pop. You’d have to have a brain for that tho. #GagCityKansasCity Tonight.”

The post stirred backlash, as critics interpreted it as an attempt by Minaj to downplay Petty’s background as a registered s*x offender, leading to numerous negative comments. Some users even shared screenshots from the California Megan’s Law Website listing his alleged offenses.

One commenter bluntly expressed:

“Only you could make your child birthday about a man.”

In response to the negative feedback, Nicki Minaj expressed her frustration with a detailed tweet on October 3, 2024. She wrote:

“Dear weak loser tweeting about someone else’s b’day b/c you have nothing to rejoice about in your own sad existence & clearly don’t feel loved & definitely not paid attention to due to your ugliness…”

Addressing misconceptions, Minaj defended her right to celebrate her son’s birthday, emphasizing that one cannot determine the significance of a birthday celebration solely from social media images. She continued:

“Tweeting about a woman who became a millionaire b4 turning 30. An immigrant who is the definition of self-made. Food stamps to the queen of rap ho!!!! In every country in the world ho! 8 billion ppl. Only one queen of rap you fkng dweeb. Go teach that dingy p*ssy or b*ssy some new tricks.”

In her passionate response, Minaj highlighted her numerous accomplishments, emphasizing that she would continue to thrive while critics remained stagnant:

“I’ll still be wealthy & prosperous while you’re on your deathbed bookie. I know that’s gotta hurt.”

Since their marriage in October 2019 and the birth of their son in 2020, Nicki Minaj has faced ongoing scrutiny regarding Kenneth Petty’s legal issues as a registered s*x offender, but she consistently supports him publicly.
