Minaj - real name Onika Tanya Maraj - released her most recent album, Queen, in August 2018. The 10-time Grammy nominee was a guest artist on the Megan Thee Stallion single Hot Girl Summer last month.
Minaj is in a relationship with Kenneth 'Zoo' Petty. He is a registered sex offender who was convicted of a 1994 attempted first-degree rape when both he and the victim were 16-years-old. Petty has also served time in prison for first-degree manslaughter.
