The wedding isn't a complete surprise. Minaj revealed that she was getting a marriage license with Petty on her Queen Radio show in August. “We still had to pick it up and I was traveling, by the time I came back, we had to renew it again,” she said. “From that time, you have 90 days to get married. That was about a week ago, so now I have about 80 days.”

She originally announced she had gotten a marriage license on Queen Radio back in June. “We did get our marriage license,” she said then. “I think I have what I was striving for, just happiness. It was so hard to get to a happy place. Now that I’m there, I don’t want to compromise that for anyone or anything.”

Even before their wedding, Minaj was regularly calling Petty her husband.

Petty is a bit of a controversial figure because he is a registered sex offender in New York and served time in prison for manslaughter,Peoplereported. Minaj previously addressed fans' concerns about this on Instagram, writing (viaPeople), “He was 15, she was 16…in a relationship. But go awf Internet. Y’all can’t run my life. Y’all can’t even run y’all own life. Thank you boo.”
