A Los Angeles federal judge has ordered Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, to serve “up to” 120 days in house arrest for “making threatening remarks toward Offset, Cardi B’s husband.

Kenneth Petty has consequences to pay for his remarks toward Offset.

According to an order signed by Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald. “Petty, who also goes by Zoo and is a convicted sex offender, “was recorded on video making threatening remarks towards a specific individual while in the company of someone with a criminal record. This recent violation conduct raises concerns over Mr. Petty’s willingness to comply with the Court’s orders.”

Court reporter extraordinaire Meghann Cuniff pointed out on Wednesday night that “The individual is Offset, Cardi B’s husband.”
