Multiple news outlets confirmed on April 27-28, 2026, that Kenneth Petty's primary residence on the sex offender registry changed from Nicki Minaj's California mansion to a home in Jamaica, Queens. However, the post uses a recycled tweet from 2024 to support the claim, and reports of a divorce, eviction, or cheating remain unconfirmed rumors.
