Nicki Minaj has hired her husband Kenneth Petty as her manager. This comes on the heels of being sued for alleged intimidation towards a woman who claimed Petty sexually assaulted her in the 1990’s.
According to WGN Web Desk News:
Jennifer Hough claims Minaj and her representatives have repeatedly reached out trying to get her to deny the sexual assault had taken place.
She said a representative even showed up at her home and offered her $20,000 to recant the allegation.
The lawsuit was filed under a New York state law which gives victims of sexual assaults a special window to file lawsuits on old cases where the statute of limitations had expired.
This leads us to this Court Document:
Around July 2020 Petty sought to reduce the restrictions around travel and his curfew. To do that they had to argue that he has managerial duties that he will need to perform outside of curfew and with some travel.

More details about the lawsuit
According to The Insider – The lawsuit states that the victim told Minaj, “I need you to know woman to woman, that this happened.”
In court papers, the woman said she is “living in isolation out of fear of retaliation” and has not worked since May of 2020 due to “severe depression, paranoia, constant moving, harassment and threats from the defendants and their associates.”
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. Insider reached out to Minaj’s legal team and is awaiting a response.
In court papers, the woman claims she was raped by Petty at knifepoint in 1994 while going to school.
The victim said she knew Petty from the neighborhood and he led her to a house around the corner where he assaulted her.
The victim claimed she faced harassment and retaliation as the case was prosecuted, according to The New York Times.
Nicki Minaj has been in a relationship with Kenneth Petty since 2018, and the two share an 11-month-old son.
