Are wedding bells approaching for Nicki Minaj?
The 36-year-old musician has been fueling marriage rumors with boyfriend Kenneth Petty. Minaj, who has previously referred to her 41-year-old beau as her “husband” has been dropping hints that the couple might be headed toward the aisle.
Last week, Minaj stated on the show that she and Petty had obtained a marriage license. The news came just days after the rapper dropped the video for her newest hit “Megatron.” The steamy video features the couple showing some serious PDA.
Now, E! News reports that Minaj added fuel to the rumors this week while answering fan questions on social media. One fan wrote, “@NICKIMINAJ is Kenny a fan of 'Nicki Minaj' or does he only love 'Onika'? If so, what's his favorite album/song by you ? & would you ever date a person who isn't necessarily into Nicki Minaj but into Onika[?]”
Minaj replied, “He won't even say the word 'Nicki'. He has called me onika since I was 15 so it's hard to change that. I wouldn't date anyone cuz I'm about to be married to my soulmate."
He won’t even say the word “Nicki”. He has called me onika since I was 15 so it’s hard to change that. I wouldn’t date anyone cuz I’m about to be married to my soulmate. But that was the problem, others r infatuated w/Nicki Minaj he DGAF about this industry & is very protective https://t.co/zYshu5P8y7

Petty, and subsequently Minaj, has received criticism when it was revealed that he is a registered sex offender in New York after a 1995 attempted rape charge. He was also charged with manslaughter 11 years later.
Despite the backlash, Minaj has stood by Petty, even going so far as to defend him in her “Megatron” lyrics.
