[UPDATE] - Sources close to Nicki tell The Blast the singer is very much still married and in love.

Nicki Minaj scrubbed her husband Kenneth Petty’s name from her social media accounts amid rumors the two broke up.

Bossip pointed out Nicki has changed her name from “Mrs. Petty” to “Yikes”, which is the name of her single that came out weeks ago.

The name change comes as Twitter has been blowing up with speculation the two are over. Nicki has been MIA on social media for over a month which is only adding to the talk something is going on.

The last time Nicki and Kenneth were seen together was back in February. They were living it up while partying in Trinidad. Nicki had to apologize for her man’s behavior towards another artist at Carnivale.

Soon after they arrived back home, Kenneth was arrested after being indicted for failing to register as a sex offender in California. He was convicted of first-degree attempted rape in 1995 and ordered to register whenever he moved. He moved from New York to California with Nicki in July 2019. The feds became aware of him failing to register and hit him with criminal charges.

Kenneth entered a plea of not guilty and was released after paying a $100,000 bond. He is facing 10 years in prison if convicted.
