On Tuesday (March 10), the 55-year-old Wendy Williams Show host said on her show that the 37-year-old “Tusa” rapper ruined her own brand by marrying Kenneth Petty, who recently officially registered as a sex offender.

“Well apparently the way this show is going today, we did not have enough time to get to Nicki Minaj‘s [husband],” Wendy said. “But let me tell you something Nicki. That’s going to be my first story tomorrow and I’m going to lead with this: You should’ve never married him because now you’ve ruined everything about what your brand could be.”

“Again, you are never going to stand a chance when you are with a man who pulls a knife at rape point,” she continued. “A registered sex offender, you are never going to stand a chance with the public.”

“There’s only one thing worse than touching children and pulling knives and that’s murder,” she added. “By the way, he did go to jail for manslaughter. Oh, I think I just did the story. No, get to digging. There’s more on it. Everybody get to digging. Get to digging.”

Kenneth Petty is now listed in the California Department of Justice’s database as a sex offender, Page Six reports on Monday (March 9).

The 41-year-old’s offense is entered in the database as “attempted rape by force or fear.”
