Does a leopard shed its spot? It waits to be seen in the case of Mr Petty who has a criminal past. His criminal records first surfaced in the heydays of their rekindled relationship when Minaj posted photos with her mystery man sporting Snapchat filters. His criminal record and mug shot are accessible to the public, and he reportedly was convicted of the attempted rape of a 16-year-old girl back in 1995. At the time, he would have been about twenty. And now, he is a registered sex offender. This information did not sit well with many of Minaj’s fans who believe she should not be affiliating herself with a rapist.
