‘Meet the Parents’: Nicki Minaj and Husband Kenneth Petty Showed Out on the ‘Gram In Stylish Outfits

Nicki Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty, took social media by storm on Monday, Nov. 23, after the rapper shared a stream of photos of the duo posing provocatively as they sported different looks. In the first photo, the hip-hop artist is seen arching her back as Petty holds her hips.  

The “Queen” radio host rocked two different ensembles for the occasion while her husband donned a Sergio Tacchini tracksuit. In the first snapshot, Minaj showcased her voluptuous rump in a white mini dress adorned with black-and-white accessories, including gloves, thigh-high socks, heels, sunglasses and a jacket. The songwriter switched things up a bit by wearing a black business suit with jewelry accent pieces for the final look. Minaj captioned the Nov. 23 upload with a red ribbon emoji. Many fans were enthralled by Mr. and Mrs. Petty’s style.

Although the majority of the Barbz — a nickname for Minaj’s fanbase — were distracted by the couple’s latest pic, a few praised the rapper on her snatched figure following the birth of her son, just two months ago. “Yesssssssss baby where? 🦄😋🔥😍,” one person wrote.

Another responded how post-pregnancy had nothing on the glowing mother of one.” Wow!!💗 Post-pregnancy where💗💗💗😩 she looks tf good 🔥.”

Minaj gave birth to her son on Sept. 30. She revealed the news to the public two weeks later in an Instagram post, thanking her celebrity friends like Beyoncé and model Winnie Harlow as well as millions of her fans for their love and support. She wrote, “Thank you to Queen B, Kim & Ye, Riccardo Tisci, Winnie, Karol & everyone who sent well wishes during this time. It meant the world to me. I am so grateful & in love with my son. Madly in love. My favorite liddo boy in the whole wide world.”

The “Moment for Life” hitmaker as of yet hasn’t released any official full-body photos of her newborn son.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
