Fans Slam Nicki Minaj for Her Controversial Rumored Boyfriend

Nicki Minaj's fans may not be too fond of her ex-boyfriends Meek Mill and Safaree, but they would totally prefer their favorite artist to date either of those two rather than the man some are speculating she's seeing now.

The Barbz were scrambling around for answers when they saw the rapper post multiple photos with a mystery man while wearing a diamond ring on her finger a couple weeks ago.

After she was seen again with the man this week, fans did a full-fledged investigation, and the mysterious guy was identified as Kenneth “Zoo” Petty, who has a seriously long rap sheet. Along with a number of other crimes, Petty was reportedly convicted of raping a 16-year-old girl in 1995.

Fans are warning the rapper that Petty is not the right man for her.

Others are just flat out disappointed in the rapper if she's actually dating him.

However, many Nicki fans refuse to believe the rumors that she's dating Petty. In a series of tweets, Minaj threw shade at those criticizing her for associating with those criminals with a criminal past.

She did not stop there.

The rapper's tweets did not entirely shed light on the situation, but it sort of confirms that she will never apologize for who she communicates with. And honestly, that's not much of a surprise considering all the individuals with criminal records she's collaborated with in the past, such as Tekashi 6ix9ine.
