In addition to being a convicted sex offender, Kenneth Petty has a pretty terrifying rap sheet. According to TMZ, in 2002, Petty shot a man named Lamont Robinson three times in the stomach in Queens. The attack was allegedly part of a gang hit. As court documents revealed, although Robinson died shortly after the attack, he was still able to identify Petty in a photo lineup given to him by the police. TMZ explains, “Kenneth was initially charged with 2nd-degree murder, but pled guilty to a lesser charge of 1st-degree manslaughter. He served 7 years in prison, and got released in 2013.”
You’d think Petty’s time in prison would have smartened him up, but the criminal was written up a whopping 18 times during his time behind bars. Years after his release, Petty found his name in the tabs once more. In a since-deleted post, Petty’s ex, Noelle Dobie, took to Instagram to describe an incident where a man allegedly came over to her house in an attempt to kill her. Posting a photo of a blood-stained kitchen floor, Dobie wrote (via Ace Showbiz) that someone “Came to shoot me in my own home and dropped your gun!! I’m out of commission for a few. Pray for me.” While Petty was never tied to the alleged attack, given his history, it certainly wasn’t great that his name was associated with yet another negative headline.
Only time will tell how Petty’s trial plays out, but, at least for now, it appears that Nicki Minaj is standing by her man.
