Nicki Minaj’s Husband Denies Raping Jennifer Hough Amid Harassment Lawsuit: She Was A Willing Participant

Nicki Minaj‘s husband is proclaiming his innocence.

As you may know, Nicki Minaj‘s husband–Kenneth Petty–is a registered sex offender. The 43-year-old is on the registry over a rape conviction stemming from a 1994 encounter between him and Jennifer Hough, and he served four years in prison over the matter.

However, Kenneth Petty is now speaking out and denying that he raped Jennifer Hough. In recently-filed legal documents, Kenneth Petty writes:

“I never raped the Plaintiff and I deny her accusations of rape contained in the Amended Complaint. I also deny all of Plaintiff’s allegations in the Amended Complaint that I committed any improper conduct, sexual abuse and/or sexual assault. The sexual encounter between Plaintiff and I, which occurred 27 years ago, was consensual and Plaintiff was a willing participant. I did not force Plaintiff into a house, I did not force Plaintiff to have sex with me and I did not sexually or physically assault Plaintiff in any way. Nor did I ever threaten Plaintiff.”

He also claims:

“I pled guilty to attempted rape, despite my innocence, because I was a scared 16-year-old kid and was told that my sentence would be 20 years to life if I did not plead guilty to attempted rape.”

Kenneth Petty‘s statements come as he and Nicki Minaj face accusations of harassing Jennifer Hough. The couple is also accused of getting New York City gang members to threaten Jennifer in order to pressure her into recanting her rape allegation.
