The Grammy-nominated rapper Nicki Minaj, 36, took to Instagram on Monday with a clip that told her fans she and the 41-year-old Kenneth Petty had tied the knot.
The Anaconda singer wrote, ‘Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty 10•21•19,’ as she showed off ‘Bride’ and ‘Groom,’ caps and mugs which had ‘Mr.’ and ‘Mrs’ emblazoned on them.
Fellow celebs such as La La Anthony, Christina Aguilera, Winnie Harlow, Tanisha Thomas, and Evelyn Lozada all wrote well-wishes in the comments section.
The Queens, New York native, whose full name is Onika Tanya Maraj, opened up on her Beats 1 radio show Queen Radio August 12 of the paperwork process leading up to the altar, as she and Petty had obtained a wedding license.
She said: ‘We still had to pick it up and I was traveling, by the time I came back, we had to renew it again.
‘From that time, you have 90 days to get married. That was about a week ago, so now I have about 80 days.’
Minaj said she was ‘very happy about that because my baby makes me so happy’ in reference to Perry, who she’s been seeing since late last year.
Nicki previously said in an interview with The Shade Room: ‘You know when you’re a little girl and you want this big beautiful wedding, and I used to think I was one of those girls, I always wanted the fairytale.
‘But then the things that used to matter to you don’t matter as much… I’m madly in love with this man, he’s also my best friend.
‘The things that used to matter to me before, don’t matter as much now. So yes, we’re going to have a big wedding eventually.’
It seems Nicki was sure they would tie the knot back in March, just four months into their romance when she referred to him as her husband.
She then changed her Twitter name to Mrs. Petty in August and often refers to him as her ‘Ken to her Barbie’.
