It seems Nicki Minaj and husband Kenneth "Zoo" Petty have quite a history. The nickname "Zoo" originated from when Petty was a teenager, according to Capital Xtra, which is also when he and Minaj met. Minaj met her now-husband when she was a 16-year-old growing up in Queens, N.Y., and that love quickly blossomed between them, according to TMZ. A source told Us Weekly the two rekindled their romance when Minaj returned to Queens in 2018 for a charity event. "They linked up when she handed out turkeys for Thanksgiving in her hometown," the insider said.
On Chance The Rapper's 2019 song, "Zanies and Fools," Minaj used her verse to tell fans more about their love story. "I met my husband when I was 17 out in Queens," she rapped. "If you love it, let it go, now I know what that means. While he was up North for a body, I bodied everybody and got known for my body."
But what else is that rap verse about? Minaj initially got torn away from Petty due to him spending time in prison over the years. Yes, Minaj's husband has a criminal history, and he's been behind bars more than once. Let's take a closer look at his past.
