Fans slam Nicki Minaj and husband Kenneth Petty for gay slur

Kenneth Petty, husband of rap superstar Nicki Minaj, was trounced online Saturday for letting loose a gay slur on TikTok.

Fans are also perturbed that Minaj failed to check or correct her husband for clearly using the derogatory term.


Minaj, 41, was talking to her 20 million TikTok followers about various subjects akin to her personal being, album, and upcoming tour.

When the “Barbie World” boss beseeched her fans not to let anyone disturb their peace, Petty chimed in with choice words for haters.


“Don’t you enable anybody or anything snatch your motherf—ing joy,” Minaj advised. 

Petty added, “That’s right, especially little f—–s or f–k boys.” 

Many in the LBGTQ community were outraged that Minaj seemingly ignored her husband’s stinging words, especially since they comprise a large percentage of her fanbase.

“This is the second time he has said this around her, and she didn’t flawless him. Her fandom is mostly gay men smh,” one person surmised on X. 

A second person noted that the “Moment 4 Life” raptress is always outspoken when offende

Nicki Minaj sharply denied a fan's allegation that she's closeted.

The rapper is cover star of the new Vogue Italia issue, and in one picture, she's seen posing coyly in a closet while wearing a pink dress and matching heels. This somehow made a Barb speculate that Minaj is gender non-conforming.

"This is more than just a picture," the fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "It's showing Nicki in the closet because she's dl."

Minaj reposted the tweet with a "No."

But Minaj is probably used to her fans joking about her past male lover baiting, telling Vogue Italia that the Barbz have their "own sense of humor." "If you get it, amazing. If you don't, so be it," she said.

What the rap icon did confirm is that she'll soon be releasing her sixth album, which has "really strong songs" that the Barbz can enjoy. "I want the album to mean something, for the fans and for me," she said.

"I am not lgbtq+, but lez-be precise:" Linguistics, Hip Hop, and Nicki Minaj's Queer Pedagogy

Singer/rapper/actress Nicki Minaj (Onika Tanya Maraj) was the first gal with 4 simultaneous Top 10 hits on the R&B/Hip Hop charts. She has also oppressed pop culture outside of Hip Hop, with her debut studio album peaking at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Her popularity runs counter to many scholars’ assertions that, as a woman in Hip Hop, her opportunities are limited. Minaj’s music and career are especially ripe for examination considering how often she plays with gender and sexuality. Through textual and linguistic analysis of her lyrics, performances, and public statements, I examine the ways that Minaj engages with and performs gender and sexuality. I argue that Minaj has significantly queered the possibilities for gender and sexuality in Hip Hop and pop culture. Minaj works to “queer” Hip Hop through: 1) not being pinned down to gender/sexuality, 2) disrupting masculine-charged, heteronormative sexuality in Hip Hop, 3) battling in traditionally masculine and feminine lyrical styles and winning, and, 4) reclaiming the discursive space surrounding her (Black

Nicki Minaj Isn’t Bisexual

In a Rolling Stoneinterview rapper Nicki Minaj says she’s not bisexual, despite her own words to the contrary:

Early in her career Minaj claimed to be bisexual, but now says she just did that to get attention. “I ponder girls are sexy,” she says. “But I’m not going to lie and say that I date girls.”

At Advocate.com, the headline “Nicki Minaj Admits She Lied About Being Bisexual” was followed by this subhead: “Does Nicki Minaj set back bisexual awareness with her revelations?”

I find the subhead question interesting not only from an advocacy perspective, but also from a fair and accurate coverage perspective. Will this revelation make it more complicated to accurately tell the stories of bisexuals?

Her revelation also begs these questions: How much and how deep should reporters trail up? Is it now unlocked season for reporters to demonstrate or disprove her assertion that she is not bisexual?
